Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Composite of Near Surface Mounted CFRP Strips and Fabric
(2016-01)
In this study, the efficiency of using near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips with CFRP confinement for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) columns was investigated. The columns were ...
Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams Made with Recycled Coarse Aggregate
(2016-07)
The Bee'ah's Waste Management Complex in the Emirate of Sharjah, UAE, has been producing aggregate from construction and demolition wastes for quite some time. However, such a product has not been utilized in structural ...
Recent advances on the anti-cancer properties of Nigella sativa, a widely used food additive
(Elsevier, 2016)
The use of naturally-occurring agents to regulate tumorigenesis is on the rise. Several herbal extracts, pure plant-derived active constituents, and food additives have been reported to possess potent anti-cancer properties ...
Preparation and characterization of gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes supplemented with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose polymers for wound dressing
(PKP, 2016)
Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes, supplemented with glycerol (a plasticizer), glutaraldehyde (a cross-linking agent), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ...
Efficient and simple protocol employing borohydride systems to design a selective osthol-zirconium (OST-Zr) library from potential natural products
(PKP, 2016)
“Drug likeness” of a molecule is the prime criterion for a molecule to exhibit the desired pharmaceutical activity. A pharmacophore, which describes molecular features that are necessary for molecular recognition of a ...
On the Causal Link between Financial Development and Economic Growth: Case of Jordan
(Virtus Interpress, 2016)
This paper empirically examines the causal relation between financial development and economic growth in the case of Jordan for the period 1965 to 2004. That is, the paper attempts to provide answers to the following ...
Thermo-mechanical Behavior of C45 Steel over a Range of Temperatures and Loading Rates
(2016-01)
This research aims to describe the behavior of C45 structural steel that is increasingly used in the oil and gas industry in environments where high temperatures and strain rates are applied. The primary goal is to introduce ...
Load Partitioning for Matrix-Matrix Multiplication on a Cluster of CPUGPU Nodes Using the Divisible Load Paradigm
(2016-11)
Matrix-matrix multiplication is a component of many numerical algorithms; however, it is a time consuming operation. Sometimes, when the matrix size is huge, the processing of the matrix-matrix multiplication on a single ...
Inertial Navigation system of In-pipe Inspection Robot
(2016-05)
The main goal of this study is to design and implement a robust inertial navigation system (INS) for in-pipe inspection robot. To achieve this goal, different mechanization approaches, that are derived in different frames ...
Graphene Use in Wave Powered Desalination
(2016-11)
As the world’s population is predicted to increase, consumption of drinking water will increase. However, the freshwater withdrawals have tripled over the last 50 years and this is predicted to increase even more in the ...
