Optimisation of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance Based and Periodic Based Approaches حسب ALHAJERI, RASHED ABDULLA

"…Although the biggest costs involved in this technology is the installation/capital costs, the subsequent running costs (although less than traditional sources of energy) such as cleaning and maintenance can increase or decrease the feasibility of these panels. Soiling, which is the deposition of materials (usually dust) that obstruct solar radiation falling on the panel and is one of the major factors of production losses in PV panels, and thus managing it will result in a positive economic and technical impact on PV plant feasibility. …"

Machine Learning Models for Scheduling On-Demand Fog Placement and Optimizing Container Deployment حسب Farhat, Peter

"…Fog computing is an extended cloud computing technology allowing services embedded into virtual machines or containers to be placed at the edge with closer proximity to the end devices. Nevertheless, one of the main difficulties adding up to the complexity of the on-demand fog placement topic is deciding on the proper time and place of the fog deployment process, and deriving the adequate container and service distribution over the available fogs at a certain location. …"

Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods حسب Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

"…By comparing the MIMO and cooperative methods with point receivers, we reach the central result that it is always better, from a diversity gain point of view, to add more apertures to the source and destination rather than adding more relays in their vicinity despite the fact that the fading variance along FSO links decreases with the distance. For receivers that implement aperture averaging, we derive conditions under which MIMO techniques are unconditionally better than cooperative techniques with any network topology.…"
