Abstract The Present study is an attempt to explore how brand equity of branded cars is influenced by “the country-of-origin image”. In this regard, the perception of Iranian consumers of Hyundai, country-of-origin of which is Korea, was measured. A conceptual framework was applied to investigate the influence of country-of-origin image upon dimensions of brand equity. […]
Abstract Security in cloud computing poses higher challenges due to modern day distributed computing architectures. Cloud computing is a quickly developing IT show for the trade and conveyance of various administrations through the Internet. Be that as it may, there are a plenty of security worries in cloud computing which still should be handled (e.g., […]
Abstract Pump and motor assembly plays a vital role in the design of the Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) & Total Artificial Hearts (TAH). Heart’s pulsatile blood flow was first mimicked by pulsatile flow devices. However, due to the compact sizing of the continuous flow devices, have shown significant decrease in the mortality rate. Pulsatile and […]
Abstract In broadcast communications, a diversity scheme refers to a technique for enhancing the reliability of a message signal by utilizing at least two correspondence channels with various attributes. In this paper we consider all four possible scenarios: Multiple-input and multiple output (MIMO), multiple-input and single-output (MISO), single input and multi-output (SIMO), and single-input and […]
Abstract The power quality problems during distribution of power are mainly occurs due to transient distortions in the line voltage like harmonics, flicker, sags and swells. These power quality issues can cause damage of equipment, losses in power transfer or even can lead system towards instability. To alleviate these complications, ANFIS based UPQC is to […]
Abstract This work represents a novel approach for implementing a VCO Based ADC using Current Mode Logic (CML). It primarily focuses on applicability of CML logic for building digital circuits and systems that run at very low voltages. Many ADC’s require low power, high speed with less area and delay. The need for this low […]
Abstract The need for higher data rates led researchers to propose another technique called a multiuser massive MIMO system that offers a larger bandwidth compared to the present wireless communication systems. In addition, significant improvement in communications quality of service (QOS), energy and spectral efficiencies and in the reduction of the cost is expected in […]
Abstract It is very difficult to evaluate the shape of the buried objects using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). In this study, 180 GPR B scan images were classified by using different classification algorithms. GPR-B scan images of objects with different shapes in various depths were obtained by using GprMax simulation program. Noise in these images […]
Abstract This paper presents an analysis and designing single patch microstrip antenna with proximity coupler fed technique at 2.40 GHz resonant frequency appropriate for wireless LAN application. The software used to simulate the patch antenna is HFSS. This antenna is fed by a 50 Ω single microstrip line feeding based on quarter wave impedance matching […]
Abstract Sliding mode control approach is recognized as one of the efficient tools to design robust controllers for complex high-order dynamic plant operating under uncertainty conditions. The main advantages of sliding mode are low sensitivity to plant parameter variations and disturbances can be completely eliminated. This paper deals with the modeling and control of simple […]
