Thermo-Economic Analysis of Gas Turbine Power Plants Hybridization Using PTSC Technology
(2020-07)
The effects of environmental change due to ozone depleting waste products are amongst the critical issues facing humanity. Therefore, searching for feasible and naturally well-disposed methods for producing electricity is ...
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 ...
Finite Element-Based Parametric Analysis of Mat Foundations
(2016-04)
Raft or mat foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab covering the entire contact area of the structure and supporting heavy loads from superstructure to a large area of soil. This type of foundation is employed in ...
Designing a Flexible and Reconfigurable Manufacturing System Considering a Circular Shaped Layout
(2018-05)
Production demands are constantly changing at a fast pace. The demand for a shorter life cycle and customized products makes it more difficult for factories to adapt. To stay competitive, factories need to be flexible in ...
Evaluating the Structural Performance and Durability of CNT and Polyethylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(2016-11)
Concrete, despite being one of the most produced materials in the world, still has weaknesses and drawbacks. The major concern of cementitious materials in structural applications is their quasi-brittle behavior, which ...
Power Characteristics of Selective Buried Oxide MOSFET
(2016-01)
Power dissipation is an important factor in electronic circuit design due to the decreasing feature size of microelectronic devices, high clock frequencies, and large die size, as well as the growing number of mobile, ...
Data Communication through Distribution Network for Smart Grid Applications
(2014-05)
This work investigates a novel solution for overcoming excessive signal attenuation in distribution transformers for power line communication (PLC) applications in smart grids. The proposed solution avoids classical hardware ...
Mechanical perturbation control of cardiac alternans
(American Physical Society, 2018)
Cardiac alternans is a disturbance in heart rhythm that is linked to the onset of lethal cardiac arrhythmias. Mechanical perturbation control has been recently used to suppress alternans in cardiac tissue of relevant size. ...
Antiamoebic activity of plant‑based natural products and their conjugated silver nanoparticles against Acanthamoeba castellanii (ATCC 50492)
(Springer, 2020)
Acanthamoeba spp. are the causative agent of Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). The current options to treat Acanthamoeba infections have limited success. Silver nanoparticles show ...
