AI‐Driven Optimization of a Hybrid PV–Wind–BESS Microgrid for a Rural Educational Institution in Developing Countries

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
An AI‐driven CNN–LSTM forecasting framework is integrated with HOMER Pro to optimally design a grid‐connected PV–wind–BESS microgrid for a rural school in Bangladesh, achieving 91.7% renewable penetration, low energy cost (0.0397 USD/kWh), and an 81.5% reduction in CO2 emissions. ABSTRACT Hybrid renewable microgrid planning in HOMER Pro often relies on

On the Feasibility of Wireless Energy Transfer Using Massive Antenna Arrays

open access: yes, 2016
We illustrate potential benefits of using massive antenna arrays for wireless energy transfer (WET). Specifically, we analyze probability of outage in WET over fading channels when a base station (BS) with multiple antennas beamforms energy to a wireless

Full Duplex AF and DF Relaying Under Channel Estimation Errors for V2V Communications

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of full-duplex (FD) and half-duplex (HD) vehicle to vehicle (V2V) networks. We consider two vehicular communication scenarios with the assistance of roadside unit (RSU), i.e., RSU-to-vehicle-to-vehicle

Multicell Coordinated Beamforming with Rate Outage Constraint--Part I: Complexity Analysis

open access: yes, 2014
This paper studies the coordinated beamforming (CoBF) design in the multiple-input single-output interference channel, assuming only channel distribution information given a priori at the transmitters.

A Rapid Post‐Disaster Restoration Method for Networked Microgrids Based on Adaptive Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
To enhance the power restoration speed of networked microgrids (NMGs) after extreme natural disasters and reduce the power outage of the system, this paper proposes a rapid post‐disaster restoration method for NMGs based co‐optimization of fault repair and load restoration.

(Intending) Migrants and Occupational Downgrading: Investigating the Willingness to Leave the Health Sector Post‐Migration

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The unquenched thirst for emigration in Nigeria‐ and the increasing cost of migrating to the West‐has been established in the literature. Professionals, such as healthcare workers (HCWs), are poorly paid in Nigeria, making many seek better employment abroad.

Patient‐ and caregiver‐reported barriers to radiotherapy for cancer in sub‐Saharan Africa—A survey of population‐based registries

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Low‐ and middle‐income countries have over 70% of the global cancer burden but 10% of the world's radiotherapy capacities. This population‐based multi‐country study explores the barriers to access experienced by cancer patients in sub‐Saharan Africa.

Outage Constrained Robust Secure Transmission for MISO Wiretap Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper we consider the robust secure beamformer design for MISO wiretap channels. Assume that the eavesdroppers' channels are only partially available at the transmitter, we seek to maximize the secrecy rate under the transmit power and secrecy ...
