Big Data Energy Management, Analytics and Visualization for Residential Areas
(IEEE, 2020)
With the rapid development of IoT based home appliances, it has become a possibility that home owners share with Utilities in the management of home appliances energy consumption. Thus, the proposed work empowers home ...
Green Nanotechnology—A Road Map to Safer Nanomaterials
(Woodhead Publishing, 2018)
Nanotechnology has remained at the forefront of scientific research for the past few decades due to its outstanding properties and associated applications. The unlimited potential of nanomaterials have already influenced ...
Option convergence rate with geometric random walks approximations
(Taylor & Frances Online, 2016)
We describe a broad setting under which, for European options, if the underlying asset form a geometric random walk then, the error with respect to the Black–Scholes model converges to zero at a speed of 1/𝑛 for continuous ...
Novel insights into the potential role of ion transport in sensory perception in Acanthamoeba
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Background: Acanthamoeba is well known to produce a blinding keratitis and serious brain infection known as encephalitis. Effective treatment is problematic, and can continue up to a year, and even then, recurrence can ...
Performance of CI Engine Operating with Hydrogen Supplement Cocombustion with Jojoba Methyl Ester
(Elsevier, 2016-06-29)
The present work experimentally investigates the performance of compression ignition (CI) engine which operates on hydrogen and Jojoba methyl ester (JME). The hydrogen is introduced by enriching air-intake manifold with ...
Dynamics of Chemotherapeutic Drug Release from Liposomes Using Low-Frequency Ultrasound
(2015-01)
This thesis focuses on the study of liposomes; nanoparticles that can act as anticancer drug carriers, in combination with ultrasound applied as a drug trigger, with the objective of reducing the side effects caused by ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Buildings in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(2013-06)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is generally known to be a region of low seismicity despite being in close proximity to active seismic zones. However, recent moderate earthquakes that occurred within the UAE highlighted the ...
BIM for Energy Modelling of Green Buildings
(2018-11)
Energy conservation has become a priority for many governments and sustainable building standards such as LEEDS and Estidama. This is largely due to the high energy demand of buildings and the rising concerns over the ...
Residential Area Energy Consumption Big Data Analytics and Visualization
(2018-06)
As Internet of Things (IoT) technology and open source file distributed system applications are evolving, home appliances can be monitored and controlled via an IoT-based home gateway. These gateways collect energy consumption ...
The Effects of Local Aggregates on the Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC)
(2013-06)
Engineered Cementitous Composites (ECC) are a class of ultra-ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composites characterized by a strain hardening behavior and a high strain capacity when subjected to tensile loading. ECC ...
