Hydrogen Fueling Stations Infrastructure

Modeling of Optimal Distances of Surveying Stations for Monitoring Astable Engineering Structures Using Geodetic Methods

Large and astable engineering structures are the great importance and the behavior of such structures is usually made in Geotechnical and Geodetic methods (engineering geodesy). In the geodetic methods, the selection of appropriate surveying stations, in terms of distribution, locations, and distant of the target points to stations the control network, have a significant role in determining th...

Development of Palladium-Alloy Membranes for Hydrogen Separation and Purification

This paper summarizes R&D activities and progress at NORAM Engineering and the University of British Columbia (UBC) on preparation and testing of thin palladium-based membranes and their applications. Most of these activities were carried out internally at NORAM, some jointly with UBC and their spin-off company, Membrane Reactor Technology (MRT) through a wide range of projects. Key results out...

Heuristic algorithms for siting alternative-fuel stations using the Flow-Refueling Location Model

This paper presents three heuristic algorithms that solve for the optimal locations for refueling stations for alternative-fuels, such as hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, or electricity. The Flow Refueling Location Model (FRLM) locates refueling stations to maximize the flow that can be refueled with a given number of facilities. The FRLM uses path-based demands, and because of the li...

Score-Informed Sparseness for Source Separation

Audio source separation is a useful preprocessing step for remixing or transcription of music. It can be shown, that the separation quality increases, if the separation algorithm gets additional side information, e.g. the score of the current mixture [5]. In many cases the score of a musical piece is not available and has to be extracted by a professional musician or an automatic music transcri...
