Ensemble of data-driven prognostic algorithms for robust prediction of Remaining Useful Life
(Elsevier, 2012-03)Prognostics aims at determining whether a failure of an engineered system (e.g., a nuclear power plant) is impending and estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) before the failure occurs. The traditional data-driven ... -
Entrepreneurial psychology: Revising the Psych 101 course
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2020-06)Extant courses in psychology typically begin with the assumption that a stable system of government exists which supports the foundation for the development of society and entrepreneurship. This approach excludes the ... -
Environmental genome of industrial products ( EGIP): the missing link for human health
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-06-21)Human health impacts come from genetic factors and from the environment. Human health impacts, as nature versus nurture (genetic versus non-shared chemical environmental), have currently been represented in genomics only ... -
Environmental impact reduction as a new dimension for quality measurement of healthcare services: the case of magnetic resonance imaging
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2018-10)PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed accounting of energy and materials consumed during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The first and second stages of ISO standard ... -
Environmental impacts of healthcare services: delivery of x-ray services
(IEEE, 2011-05)THE healthcare sector of the U.S rose to compromise about 18% of the nation's GDP in 2010. In meeting patient needs healthcare organizations spend nearly $8.8 billion each year on energy. To achieve energy reduction, the ... -
Environmental sustainability: Metrics and definitions
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)Corporate sustainability as a newly defined concept is based on five main pillars of environment, business excellence, innovation, governance and human contributions. Among these pillars, environment is an important one ... -
Epoxy nanocomposites for enhanced fire retardancy and metal-to-metal bonding properties of aircraft aluminum alloys
(Wichita State University, 2016-05)Epoxy adhesives have a wide range of applications in aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction industries. Epoxies reduce the weight of a structure by minimizing fasteners. By application of epoxy adhesive, a ... -
Equipment condition assessment and its importance in estimation and prediction of power system reliability
(WIchita State University, 2008-05)Transmission and Distribution Electric Utilities have a vast amount of assets distributed over their system in the form of various equipment. As part of an asset management program, electric utilities keep focusing on the ... -
Equity-based fair market algorithm to effectively integrate DER in retail market pricing
(IEEE, 2021-11-14)This paper presents a market mechanism based on an equity-based market algorithm to incorporate DER in the retail market considering different financing options of solar owners. This paper first investigates the impact ... -
Ergodic channel capacity for amplify-and-forward (AF) half-duplex cooperative systems
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)In this model, relay node assists the transmission from source node to the destination. The channel gain hsd,hsr,hrd are zero mean circular Gaussian. And the noise at relay and destination node is assumed i.i.d. zero-mean ... -
Ergodic channel capacity of an Amplify-and-Forward Relay system at low SNR in a generic noise environment
(IEEE, 2012-05)In this correspondence, the ergodic channel capacity at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is established for variable-gain and fixed-gain amplify-and-forward (AF) relay systems in a generic noise environment. Long-term ... -
