Determination of optimum segmentation parameter values for extracting building from remote sensing images

Lately, with progresses in remote sensing information techniques and the growingly and unprecedented uses of its uses, remote sensing became a science that cannot be dispensed with in most fields and ground object extraction has turned out ...

Freeze-Thaw Splitting Strength Analysis of PAC Based on the Gray-Markov Model

In this study, a freeze-thaw split test was carried out to simulate the frost-heaving behavior of permeable asphalt concrete (PAC). Furthermore, the water stability problems caused by spalling and loosening were studied. Through a comparati...

Integrated modeling in the UK: Practical usability of integrated models

This short paper reviews the range of planning issues that are currently being addressed in Britain and considers how the nature of these issues and the ways in which choices are being assessed impact the modeling approaches being adopted, ...

The Effect of Mutual Coupling on a High Altitude Platform Diversity System Using Compact Antenna Arrays

We analyze the destructive effects of mutual coupling and spatial correlation between the separate antenna elements on a combined diversity system consisting of multiple HAPs (High-Altitude Platforms) employing various compact MIMO (Multipl...

The Impact of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) Architecture on Sub-Synchronous Control Interactions (SSCI) for Direct-Driven Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG)-Based Type 4 Wind Farms

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising solution to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but this reduction depends on the fraction of renewable sources used to generate electricity. Wind energy is thus a vital candidate and has experienc...

Architecture and Protocols for Toll-Free Electric Vehicle Charging

This paper proposes system architecture and protocols for the deployment of a toll-free electric vehicle charging service. The architecture enables the party initiating the electric vehicle (EV) charging to have their service request author...

Low-carbon urban transportation: Optimizing mechanical systems for sustainable electric bus and BRT deployment in Kampala

Kampala faces increasing congestion, air pollution, and dependence on fossil fuels, driven by widespread reliance on diesel minibuses and motorcycle taxis. Existing models—KAMPALA-TIMES, KLAP-TIMES, and GKMA-TIMES–CGE—show strong potential ...

Control Strategies, Economic Benefits, and Challenges of Vehicle-to-Grid Applications: Recent Trends Research

With the rapid growth in the number of EVs, a huge number of EVs are connected to the power grid for charging, which places a great amount of pressure on the stable operation of the power grid. This paper focuses on the development of V2G a...

Effects of Titanate Coupling Agent on Engineering Properties of Asphalt Binders and Mixtures Incorporating LLDPE-CaCO3 Pellet

This study was initiated to evaluate the performance of asphalt binders and mixtures incorporating linear low-density polyethylene- calcium carbonate (LLDPE-CaCO3) pellet, either with or without titanate coupling agent. The detailed manufac...

MEMS-Reconfigurable Metamaterials and Antenna Applications

This paper reviews some of our contributions to reconfigurable metamaterials, where dynamic control is enabled by microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. First, we show reconfigurable composite right-/left-handed transmission line...

Design of a Circularly Polarized Galileo E6-Band Textile Antenna by Dedicated Multiobjective Constrained Pareto Optimization

Designing textile antennas for real-life applications requires a design strategy that is able to produce antennas that are optimized over a wide bandwidth for often conflicting characteristics, such as impedance matching, axial ratio, effic...
