Artificial Intelligence-Based Modeling of the Nonlinear Behavior of Buckling-Restrained Braces
(2013-03)The present research attempts to investigate and compare various artificial intelligence techniques to model the dynamic nonlinear behavior of Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs). The various intelligent models are developed ... -
Artificial marine habitats in the Arabian Gulf: Review of current use, benefits and management implications
(2011-10)The use of artificial reefs in the Arabian Gulf have a history extending back over a century, when date palm trunks, stones, pottery and other materials were sunk in coastal areas to enhance fish catch. Historically, such ... -
Assessing Struvite Formation Potential at Wastewater Treatment Plants
(2012-12)Wastewater treatment plants, especially those employing secondary treatment and anaerobic sludge digestion, have historically encountered phosphate precipitates, one of the commonest being struvite, that foul and encrust ... -
Assessing test suites of extended finite state machines against model and code based faults
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021)Tests can be derived from extended finite state machine (EFSM) specifications considering the coverage of single-transfer faults, all transitions using a transition tour, all-uses, edge-pair, and prime path with side trip. ... -
Assessing the bond strength in thermoplastic fiber composite fabricated by an open mold process
(2021-07)Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become popular in marine, aerospace, and structural applications due to their high specific stiffness and strength as well as their ability to conform to complex shapes without ... -
Assessing the Impact of Reactive Power Droop on Inverter Based Microgrid Stability
(IEEE, 2021-01)Droop control is the most common approach for controlling inverter-based micro-grids. The active power droop gain has always been considered as the main parameter for identifying the micro-grid stability margin. Increasing ... -
Assessing Translation Quality of Polemical Texts
(2015-05)How to assess the quality of the translation and what criteria to be used for evaluating it, has always been a problematic issue in translation studies. Nevertheless, there is nowadays an unprecedented agreement on the ... -
