The integration of Distributed Generation, Electric Vehicles, and storage without compromising the quality of the power delivery requires the deployment of a communications overlay that allows monitoring and controlling low voltage networks in almost real time. Power Line Communications are gaining momentum for this purpose since they present a great trade-off between economic and technical fea...

Single Point Mooring (SPM) is a type of offshore facility that is used for the loading and unloading of oil and gas tankers in the sea. In Iran, it is briefly called “floating buoy”. The present study discussed floating type, fixed to the seabed with mooring chain. The mooring chain of SPM, which is considered one of the important parameters of its design, will be evaluated with reg...

Communications over power lines in the frequency range above 2 MHz, commonly referred to as broadband (BB) power line communications (PLC), is a central communications scenario for smart power grids. BB-PLC channels are characterized by a dominant colored non-Gaussian additive noise, as well as by periodic variations of the channel impulse response and the noise statistics, induced by the mains...

Caspian Sea is the largest land locked water body in the world and has been characterized by significant relative sea-level changes since the Pliocene. The sea-level oscillations have strongly impacted the coastal areas depending on geomorphological setting. This study aims to investigate the impacts of sea level oscillations on low-lying coasts of the southeastern flank of the Caspian Sea...

In this study, we proposed an improved algorithm for identifying proteins relevant to cancer. The algorithm was named two-layer molecular similarity ensemble approach (TL-SEA). We applied TL-SEA to analyzing the correlation between anticancer compounds (against cell lines K562, MCF7 and A549) and active compounds against separate target proteins listed in BindingDB. Several associations between...

The scientific objective of this research is to understand acoustic wave propagation in a dynamic environment in two frequency bands: Low (50 Hz to 500 Hz) and Mid-to-High (500 Hz to 50 kHz). The goal for the low frequency band is to assess the effects of internal waves on acoustic wave propagation, with an emphasis on the mechanisms that cause significant temporal and spatial acoustic fluctuat...

Scientific objective of this research is to understand acoustic wave propagation in a dynamic environment in two different frequency bands: (a) Low frequency band (50 Hz to 500 Hz). The subject of interest in this band is to assess the effect of environment anisotropy on acoustic wave propagation, with an emphasis on the separation of different effects due to horizontal refraction and mode coup...
