The flexural behavior of bolting and bonding Aluminum Alloy plates to RC beams
(Elsevier, 2019)
The aim of this experimental investigation is to study the effect of using externally bonded and bolted Aluminum Alloy (AA) plates on the strength, stiffness, ductility and failure modes of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. ...
Formulation of heat conduction and thermal conductivity of metals
(De Gruyter, 2019)
The well-known low-pressure monatomic gas thermal conductivity expression is based on the Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and involves the mean particle velocity, the gas heat capacity at constant volume and the ...
What We Have Learned about Terrorism since 9/11
(American Economic Association, 2019)
This overview examines critically the post-9/11 empirical literature on terrorism. Major contributions by both economists and political scientists are included. We focus on five main themes: the changing nature of terrorism, ...
Effect of Aggregate Type and Specimen Configuration on Concrete Compressive Strength
(MDPI, 2020)
In this paper, concrete mixes utilizing two sizes of natural aggregate and two sources of lightweight and recycled aggregates were used to investigate the effect of aggregate type and specimen size and shape on the compressive ...
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery Using Micelles and Liposomes
(Springer, 2016)
The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery, especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, solid ...
Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This ...
A Multi-Objective Allocation Approach for Power Quality Monitoring Devices
(IEEE Xplore Digital Library, 2019)
With the inception of smart grids and the increased integration of renewable resources, the continuous monitoring of power systems becomes increasingly important to monitor power quality (PQ) and speed up the localization ...
INSPECT: A graphical user interface software package for IDARC-2D
(Elsevier, 2016)
Modern day Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) pivots about nonlinear analysis and its feasibility. IDARC-2D is a widely used and accepted software for nonlinear analysis; it possesses many attractive features ...
Internet of things based multi-sensor patient fall detection system
(National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2019)
Accidental falls of patients cannot be completely prevented. However, timely fall detection can help prevent further complications such as blood loss and unconsciousness. In this study, the authors present a cost-effective ...
Suppressing the Capacitor Voltage Fluctuations in Low Frequency Operation of Modular Multilevel Converters
(IEEE, 2020)
Lowfrequency operation in the modular multilevel converters (MMCs) is enabled by applying a reference common mode voltage and circulating currents at a frequency much higher than the desired output frequency. The frequency ...
