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 ...
Saturation Loadings on 13X (Faujasite) Zeolite above and below the Critical Conditions, Part I: Alkane Data Evaluation and Modeling
(Springer, 2015)
The saturation loadings for subcritical adsorption of n-, iso- and neo alkanes C1 –C8 in 13X zeolite are modeled using the modified Rackett model of Spencer and Danner (1972) for the saturated liquid densities combined ...
Synergistic Nanomedicine: Passive, Active, and Ultrasound-Triggered Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
Nanocarriers are heavily researched as drug delivery vehicles capable of sequestering antineoplastic agents and then releasing their contents at the desired location. The feasibility of using such carriers stems from their ...
A regression-based framework for estimating the objective quality of HEVC coding units and video frames
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
A no-reference objective quality estimation framework is proposed. The framework is suitable for any block-based video codec. In the proposed solution, features are extracted from coding units and summarized to form features ...
Novel Feature Extraction and Classification Technique for Sensor-Based Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition
(Springer, 2015)
This paper proposes a novel approach to continuous Arabic Sign Language recognition. We use a dataset which contains 40 sentences composed from 80 sign language words. The dataset is collected using sensor-based gloves. ...
