A smart resource allocation algorithm for D2D communications in cellular networks -

Sulahian, Hrant Roupen, (2015)

In LTE Rel-12, 3GPP proposed device-to-device (D2D) communications as a promising solution to the tremendous increase in the number of mobile users and bandwidth requirements, which has put strict limitations on the already ...
An optimization model for treatment and allocation of water resources -

Abdulbaki, Dunia Fouad, (2015)

Increasing population, diminishing supplies, and climate changes may cause difficulty in meeting water demands. Scarcity in water resources is a major concern for water resources planners all over the world. Water requirements ...
Assessment of permanent magnet generators for small-scale wind power applications -

Ginzarly, Riham Mostafa (2013)

The economic and environmental costs associated with the ever- increasing use and combustion of various types of fossil fuels have shifted the global focus towards cleaner technologies that will reduce the fossil fuels ...
Body cooling methods for improving endurance in hot environments at minimal energy.

Itani, Mariam Mounir (2018)

Personal cooling vests that incorporate phase change material (PCM) have been used to improve thermal sensation of people working outdoors in different fields (firefighting, construction, military, police, etc.). It is ...
Budget optimization tool for office building renovation projects -

Khoury, Wissam George, (2015)

Recent studies acknowledge the link between Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and employees‘ overall satisfaction at work, and in turn, productivity. This link led practitioners to include IEQ factors (e.g., thermal ...
Continuous (s,S) inventory policy with non-stationary stochastic demand -

Elshar, Ibrahim Jamal, (2016)

We consider a single-item inventory model with non-stationary stochastic demand. Non-stationary stochastic demand is applicable to a large number of real world supply chain systems. Dynamically changing (st , St ) policies ...
Coordinated feeder reconfiguration and Volt-VAr control -

Khazem, Ali Hassan, (2016)

Electrical distribution networks have a meshed structure, however they are normally operated as radial. Thus, these networks can benefit from feeder reconfiguration algorithms to improve the efficiency and reliability of ...
Cycle stealing and truncation for reducing delay in heavy-tailed queues.

El-Amine, Hadi Mohamad Hassan (2012)

Significant research effort has recently targeted reducing delay in “heavy-tailed” (highly variable) systems via truncating service times. However, these schemes induce idle times for some servers. This thesis proposes ...
Design and analysis of a hybrid solar stirling engine system for power generation.

Haber, Marc Gilbert (2019)

Since the 1990s, Lebanon has faced shortages in the supply of electricity which accounted for more than 10 hours a day. In fact, these shortages have led to the wide use of back-up diesel generators that are priced at 27 ...
Design of end-of-pipe ZLD systems under variable operating parameters

El Cham, Edgard Clovis-Edgard (2019)

Zero-liquid discharge systems have proven to be quite effective as a long-term brine management strategy. The availability of powerful modeling and optimization tools for the design of cost-effective zero-liquid discharge ...
Development of low-cost sample diets for adults living in rural areas of Lebanon using linear programming models -

El-Hayek, Joanna François. (2013)

Food price is a main factor affecting food choices, and hence has a major impact on health, particularly in markets where nutrient-dense healthy foods are more expensive than energy dense nutrient-poor foods. Subsequently, ...
Effective desiccant dehumidification system with two-stage evaporative cooling for hot and humid climates -

El Hourani, Mario George, (2013)

This study examines the design and operation of a hybrid air conditioning system that uses 100percent fresh air and integrates a solid desiccant dehumidification system with a two-stage evaporative cooling system to optimize ...
Energy-aware computing with application to data mining algorithms

Dabbagh, Mehiar Mohamed Zouhair. (2012)

Energy has become an important factor in different aspects of computing technologies, such as reducing server energy for lower financial costs, or mobile device energy for longer battery life. In fact, energy efficiency ...
Energy-aware cooperative content distribution with dynamic topologies -

Dikmak, Mostafa Khalil, (2014)

Multimedia services such as video streaming and online games have been widely spread with the rapid evolution of wireless communication technologies that provide high data rates. The prolonged usage of such services requires ...
Energy-optimal path-planning for quadrotors in forests.

Aoun, Christoph (2019)

Motivated by the threat to the Lebanese forests brought upon by the Pine Processionary Moths, a system-level algorithm is proposed to have aerial drones navigate forest environments and visit each tree in an energy-optimal ...
Fitting A 2-Phase Markovian Arrival Process MAP(2) to a non-renewal point process - by Ali Khalil Charanek.

Charanek, Ali Khalil. (2011)

We present the Moments and Counts Matching Algorithm (MCMA), an algorithm that fits a 2-Phase Markovian Arrival Process MAP(2), to a non-renewal point process. In this research, we define a MAP(2) with its parameters, and ...
Fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle sizing using ordinal optimization -

Dinnawi, Rafica Khaled, (2014)

This thesis will develop an optimal design methodology for fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV) based on ordinal optimization (OO) technique and dynamic programming; the optimal design aims to determine the appropriate ...
High school scheduling optimization as continuous problem -

Nasser, Hassan Ali, (2016)

High School Scheduling is a tedious task to do manually. It is considered as NP problem where even computers have difficulties to solve. Here we introduce a new approach to solve High School Scheduling programmatically. ...
Hybrid and intelligent positioning techniques in heterogeneous and cognitive networks -

Yassin, Ali Hussein, (2014)

Nowadays, the availability of the location information becomes a key factor in today’s communications systems for allowing new location based services. In outdoor scenarios, the Mobile Terminal (MT) position is obtained ...
Hybrid optimization techniques for oil field development -

Hamida, Zachary (2016)

This study aims at introducing a problem-specific modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach for optimal well placement in oil fields. The evolution method used in this algorithm includes a novel genetic operator named ...
