We design statistical hypothesis tests for performing leak detection in water pipeline channels. By applying an appropriate model for signal propagation, we show that the detection problem becomes one of distinguishing signal from noise,…
The detection of leaks in pipeline transportation systems is a matter of serious concern for operators, who pursue the integrity of their assets, the reduction of losses and the prevention of environmental hazards. Whenever a hole occurs in…
It is crucial to reduce natural gas methane emissions, which can potentially offset the climate benefits of replacing coal with gas. Optical gas imaging (OGI) is a widely-used method to detect methane leaks, but is labor-intensive and…
In this paper, we present a method for detecting objects of interest, including cars, humans, and fire, in aerial images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) usually during vegetation fires. To achieve this, we use artificial neural…
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are currently used in different industrial and consumer applications, such as earth monitoring, health related applications, natural disaster prevention, and many other areas. Security is one of the major…
Suppose one wants to monitor a domain with sensors, each sensing a small ball-shaped region, but the domain is hazardous enough that one cannot control the placement of the sensors. A prohibitively large number of randomly placed sensors…
Metal-oxide nanowires are showing a great interest in the domain of gas sensing due to their large response even at a low temperature, enabling low-power gas sensors. However their response is still not fully understood, and mainly…
Sensor placement for the purpose of detecting/tracking news outbreak and preventing rumor spreading is a challenging problem in a large scale online social network (OSN). This problem is a kind of subset selection problem: choosing a small…
The present study is devoted to the detailed numerical analysis of the combustion waves propagation through the lean hydrogen-air mixtures with suspended micro-droplets of water. Considered gaseous mixtures are characterized by a relatively…
The existing methods for detection of the cloud scenes are applied at relatively small spectral range within shortwave upwelling radiative wavelength flux. We have reported a new method for detection of the cloud scenes based on the…
The metering of gas-liquid flows is difficult due to the non-linear relationship between flow regimes and fluid properties, flow orientation, channel geometry, etc. In fact, a majority of commercial multiphase flow meters have a low…
A novel light detection scheme has been tested for use in medium-pressure gas TPCs, in view of rare events searches in low energy particle physics. It has the advantage of minimal interference with the ionization collection system, used for…
One of the major impacts of climatic changes is due to destroying of forest. Destroying of forest takes place in many ways but the majority of the forest is destroyed due to wild forest fires. In this paper we have presented a path planning…
The flow of gas through networks of pipes can be modeled by coupling hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations that describe the flow through the pipes that form the edges of the graph of the network by algebraic node conditions…
