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 ... -
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 ... -
An exergy-cost-energy-mass analysis of a hybrid copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production
(2010-05)An exergoeconomic assessment using exergy-cost-energy-mass (EXCEM) analysis is reported of a copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle for hydrogen production. The quantitative relation is identified ... -
Existence and stability of periodic orbits of periodic difference equations with delays
(World Scientific Publishing, 2008)In this paper, we investigate the existence and stability of periodic orbits of the p-periodic difference equation with delays xₙ = f(n - 1, xₙ₋ₖ). We show that the periodic orbits of this equation depend on the periodic ... -
Exogenous Contrast Agents in Photoacoustic Imaging: An In Vivo Review for Tumor Imaging
(MDPI, 2022)The field of cancer theranostics has grown rapidly in the past decade and innovative ‘biosmart’ theranostic materials are being synthesized and studied to combat the fast growth of cancer metastases. While current ... -
