Evaluation of refined cement-based matrix systems for extrusion of wood fiber cement
(Elsevier, 2021)Different cementitious matrix formulations incorporating various chemical, polymeric and mineral additives were evaluated for use in extruded fiber cement products. These alternative formulations were designed to enhance ... -
Evaluation of Sustainability of Multistory Reinforced Concrete Structure
(2014)Three different types of concrete mixes of design strengths 100 MPa, 50 MPa, and 50 MPa lightweight were designed, produced, and analyzed in the effort to quantify their effects on sustainability and economics. An overall ... -
Evaluation of sustainable concrete produced with desalinated reject brine
(Elsevier, 2017-06)The worldwide demand for new concrete buildings is increasing at a rapid pace to keep up with urban development. Despite the need, concrete production and its use have a number of environmental consequences. The production ... -
Evaluation of the bending properties of profiled skin structure
(2016-01)This research is focused on developing a representative testing method for structural skin panels. The profiled panels are widely used in many applications used in warehouses and factories. They are mainly used as roof or ... -
Evaluation of the Bond and Tensile Strength of GFRP Bars Exposed to Harsh Environment
(2014-01)Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have become one of the fastest-emerging materials to compete with conventional steel bars for use in concrete. The mechanical properties and durability of FRP materials are the main concerns ... -
Evaluation of the contribution of flexural CFRP plates in shear strengthening RC beams
(Conference on Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of Civil Structures, 2015)Strengthening of RC beams for shear has been typically done by externally attaching strips of steel plates or carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets or plates on the sides of the beams. However, sides of beams ... -
Evaluation of The Factors Affecting Microplastics and Nanoparticles in Plastic Water Supply Pipes
(2020-11)Water distribution system (WDS) supplies good quality water to individual households. It can affect the water quality, human health, and hence the role of WDS on the water quality must be investigated. Various pipe materials ... -
Evaluation of the interaction potential of synthetic ethylene glycol compounds with nuclear Factor κB
(PKP, 2013)In the last three decades, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) has been the focus of many researchers who are interested in understanding the various molecular mechanisms involved in inflammatory diseases and cancer. Interference ... -
Evaluations of Sustainable Concepts in Civil Engineering Program
(2011)Sustainability has been very critical for civil engineering graduates. A lack of understanding the fundamentals of sustainable material brings obstacles in implementing the concepts of sustainability ... -
An examination into the disclosure, structure and contents of ethical codes in publicly-listed acquiring firms
(Springer, 2015-03)Due to the prevalent influence of legal trends in driving ethical homogenization and persistent decoupling between ethical substance and symbolism in today's organizations, scholars are calling for a renewed interest in ... -
Examining Students' Attitudes and Use of Technology Tools to Write
(2011-01)The normalization of technology in many aspects of our lives suggests a need to examine the impact of using technology on language learning and use. There is an underlying assumption that children born in this technological ... -
Examining the Deviation in Energy Saving Estimations Due to the Use of the Degree Days Method
(Springer, 2022)Energy performance contracts are commonly used to retrofit buildings and reduce their energy consumption. The financial agreement in the contracts typically depends on calculating the amount of energy saved every year. ... -
Exercisability Randomization of the American Option
(Taylor & Frances Online, 2008)The valuation of American options is an optimal stopping time problem which typically leads to a free boundary problem. We introduce here the randomization of the exercisability of the option. This method considerably ... -
Exergy analysis of heat exchangers in the copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle to enhance thermal effectiveness and cycle efficiency
(2011-08)Most existing nuclear power plants in North America are typically water-cooled and operate at 250–5008C. For this temperature level, the copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is one of the most promisingcycles that can be integrated ... -
Exergy analysis of heat exchangers in the copper–chlorine thermochemical cycle to enhance thermal effectiveness and cycle efficiency
(Oxford University Press, 2011)Most existing nuclear power plants in North America are typically water-cooled and operate at 250–500°C. For this temperature level, the copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is one of the most promising cycles that can be integrated ... -
Exergy and thermo-economic analysis of solar thermal cycles powered multi-stage flash desalination process
(2013-12)Solar thermal power cycles assisted multi-stage flash brine recycle (MSF-BR) distillation process are thermo-economically analyzed and evaluated. In this work, the analyses are compared according to three different ... -
