  • Learn while Tracking 
    Saab, Samer S. (IEEE, 2019-08-21)
    A simple non-iterative digital controller is proposed for the uniform output tracking problem of multi-input multi-output discrete-time varying linear systems with arbitrary relative degree. The proposed controller is based ...
  • Learn while tracking. (c2013) 
    Toukhtarian, Raffi (2013-09-03)
    Controlling a plant and automatically driving its output to track a user-defined reference trajectory with sufficiently small error has been an important problem in control theory and application. This problem is referred ...
  • Learning control algorithms for tracking "slowly" varying trajectories 
    Saab, Samer S.; Vogt, William G.; Mickle, Marlin H. (2019-07-26)
    To date, most of the available results in learning control have been utilized in applications where a robot is required to execute the same motion over and over again, with a certain periodicity. This is due to the requirement ...
  • Leftover spaces for the mitigation of urban overheating in municipal Beirut 
    Kaloustian, Noushig; Aouad, David; Battista, Gabriele; Zinzi, Michele (2019-08-28)
    The Urban Heat Island phenomenon and urban overheating are serious consequences of urbanization resulting in impacts on thermal comfort levels, heat stress and even mortality. This paper builds on previous findings on the ...
  • Life Cycle Assessment of Wastewater Treatment Plant Varying Electricity Power Sources 
    Nassar, Dina (Lebanese American University, 2020-12-21)
    Wastewater treatment is an essential life process that enhances water quality as population and urbanization are increasing proportionally. The increase in population alongside the increase of wastewater treatment plants’ ...
  • Limit states design in geotechnical engineering practice 
    Foye, Kevin Christopher; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Salgado, Rodrigo (Purdue University, 2017-06-20)
    Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) shows promise as a viable alternative to the present working stress design (WSD) approach to foundation design. The key improvements of LRFD over the traditional Working Stress ...
  • Linear stability analysis of subaqueous bedforms using direct numerical simulations 
    Zgheib, N.; Balachandar, S. (2019-11-15)
    We present results on the formation of ripples from linear stability analysis. The analysis is coupled with direct numerical simulations of turbulent open-channel flow over a fixed sinusoidal bed. The presence of the ...
  • A local investigation of the thermophysical behaviour of TEHL contacts 
    Habchi, W.; Fillot, N.; Morales-Espejel, G.E. (2017-08-23)
  • Localization instabilities due to damage and fracture propagation 
    Tabbara, Mazen R.; Bazant, Zdenek P. (ASCE, 2017-04-11)
    In recent research it has become clear that localization of damage due to strain softening as well as propagation of interactive cracks can result in bifurcations of the loading path characterized by localization of damage ...
  • Localization of epileptogenic foci using artificial neural networks 
    Ouaiss, I.E.; Dhawan, A.P.; Privitera, M.D. (IEEE, 2017-06-22)
    Current neuropsychological tests based clinical methods are often difficult to interpret for localizing seizure foci in epilepsy patients. The purpose of this study is to predict with a high degree of certainty the location ...
  • Long-lasting effect of initial configuration in gravitational spreading of material fronts 
    Zgheib, Nadim; Bonometti, Thomas; Balachandar, S. (2019-11-19)
    We present the results from laboratory experiments and fully resolved simulations pertaining to finite-release turbulent density flows with a non-axisymmetric initial shape. First, we demonstrate that the effects of the ...
  • Long-term treatment issues with chromite ore processing residue (COPR) 
    Moon, Deok Hyun; Wazne, Mahmoud; Dermatas, Dimitris; Christodoulatos, Christos; Sanchez, Adriana M.; Grubb, Dennis G.; Chrysochoou, Maria; Kim, Min Gyu (2016-03-01)
    A pugmill treatability study was conducted to remediate chromite ore processing residue (COPR) using ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O) as a reductant. Two different types of COPR, with respect to particle size and ...
  • Low cost, flow-rate-controllable cryogenic cooling system for manufacturing processes 
    Ammouri, Ali; Al Khawam, Louai; Abu Haidar, Ali; Mansour, Mohammad; El Dimassi, Fadi; Hamade, Ramsey F. (ASME, 2017-05-24)
    In-process cryogenic cooling in fabrication processes is known to — among other benefits — extend tool life and improve the surface properties of a work-piece. To provide flexible applications of cryogenic cooling, control ...
  • Low-Light Image Enhancement for Object Classification using Deep Learning 
    Al Sobbahi, Rayan (Lebanese American University, 2021-05-11)
    Low-light image (LLI) enhancement is an important image processing task that aims at improving the illumination of images taken under low-light conditions. Recently, a remarkable progress has been made in utilizing deep ...
  • A low-Reynolds-number one-equation model of turbulence 
    Elkhoury, Michel (2016-02-17)
    This work proposes an improved form of Menter's single-equation eddy viscosity transport model. The new transport equation follows from the transformation of the k-ε closure that includes the Yap-correction term, which is ...
  • A machine learning approach for localization in cellular environments 
    Abdallah, Ali A.; Saab, Samer S.; Kassas, Zaher M. (IEEE, 2019-08-27)
    A machine learning approach is developed for localization based on received signal strength (RSS) from cellular towers. The proposed approach only assumes knowledge of RSS fingerprints of the environment, and does not ...
  • Machinic Utopias, Automated Futures 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace (Delft University of Technology, 2018-07-02)
    ‘Machinic Utopias, Automated Futures’ speculates on the role of designers as active agents addressing the potential implications of automated technologies on urban space in the specific context of the horticultural production ...
