Effects of immediacy on the perception of interactive art
(Europia Productions, 2016)
This study examined how the observed immediacy of an interactive artwork affects the perception of the art, and how participants' engagement impacts the personal perception of time. A new projected artwork was created by ...
Fabrication of SiC/Magnesium Alloy Composite via Friction Stir Processing
(2016-01)
One of the most interesting improvements in the history of materials is composites manufacturing. Because of their ability to improve different mechanical properties of some metals, nanoparticles have been given much ...
Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Side-Bonded CFRP Laminates
(2016-04)
Carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) composite sheets and plates are widely used nowadays in civil engineering applications to externally strengthen structural concrete elements against deficiencies in flexure and ...
Design and performance of sustainable/green concrete
(2016-01)
Concrete is the most used construction material in the world. However, the production of one ton of cement, which is the main ingredient of concrete, releases about one ton of carbon dioxide, and consumes natural resources, ...
Structural Behavior of Strand Reinforced Concrete Members without Prestressing
(2016-12)
One way to reduce the large amount of steel present in reinforced concrete members that are subjected to high loads is to use high strength materials. In this study, use of high strength steel, seven-wire strands with ...
Thermo-economic Optimization of Hybrid Combined Power Cycles Using Heliostat Field Collector
(2016-01)
Electricity has an essential role in our daily life. However, with the ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and natural gas, power generation with higher efficiency and lower capital cost is in high demand. Nowadays, global ...
Analysis of Innovative Vapor Compression and Thermal Energy Storage Systems Using Alternative Refrigerants
(2016-12)
This research presents detailed analyses of innovative single and two stages vapor compression refrigeration cycles (VCRCs) as well as a cold thermal energy system (CTES) for residential and commercial cooling applications. ...
Effect of Diverse Seismic Hazard Estimates on Performance and Overall Cost of RC Shear Wall Buildings in Dubai, UAE
(2016-01)
During the last two decades or so, many iconic buildings have been built in Dubai as a result of the rapid economic growth. Unfortunately, several probabilistic seismic hazard studies are reporting substantially diverse ...
