Supercapacitor Characterization Using Universal Adaptive Stabilization and Optimization
(IEEE, 2020-07)
This paper presents a simplified supercapacitor model and a universal adaptive stabilization, optimization (UAS+O) based parameter identification technique. Analytic solutions for the description of supercapacitors current, ...
Environmental Footprint and Economics of a Full-Scale 3D-Printed House
(MDPI, 2021)
3D printing, is a newly adopted technique in the construction sector with the aim to improve the economics and alleviate environmental impacts. This study assesses the eco-efficiency of 3D printing compared to conventional ...
Monitoring Bone Density Using Microwave Tomography of Human Legs: A Numerical Feasibility Study
(MDPI, 2021-10-26)
A major cause of bone mass loss worldwide is osteoporosis. X-ray is considered to be the gold-standard technique to diagnose this disease. However, there is currently a need for an alternative modality due to the ionizing ...
Adsorption potentials of iron-based metal–organic framework for methyl orange removal: batch and fixed-bed column studies
(Springer, 2021-01)
In the present work, continuous fixed-bed column and batch studies were undertaken to investigate the efficiency of iron-based metal–organic framework (Fe-BTC) for the removal of methyl orange as a model contaminant from ...
Evaluation of FRP Bars under Compression and Their Performance in RC Columns
(MDPI, 2020)
The behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars under compression is not fully understood yet due to the limited research in this area. However, the long-term durability, weathering resistance, and exceptional mechanical ...
Design and Optimization of a Planar Cable Robot
(2020-07)
This thesis presents a new approach towards the design of Cable-Driven-Parallel Robots (CDPR). Typically, the design of such robots is not the main concern, whereas in this work, an optimization of the design is carried ...
Sliding Resistance of Serrated-Base Quay Walls
(2021-11)
Waterfront retaining structures, such as quay walls, play important roles in the safety and operation of ports and harbours. Designing waterfront structures under critical loads and conditions is one of the important topics ...
Towards a Performative Understanding of Deservingness: Merit, Gender and the BBC Pay Dispute
(Wiley Online Library, 2020)
Drawing largely on a high-profile case of unequal pay at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an illustrative example, this conceptual paper considers differences and interrelationships between merit and deservingness, ...
Efficiency of semi-implicit alternating direction implicit methods for solving cardiac monodomain model
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
It is well known that numerical simulations of the cardiac monodomain model require fine mesh resolution, which increases the computational resources required. In this paper, we construct three operator-splitting alternating ...
A Simulation Study of the Role of Mechanical Stretch in Arrhythmogenesis during Cardiac Alternans
(Biophysical Society, 2021-01)
The deformation of the heart tissue due to the contraction can modulate the excitation, a phenomenon referred to as mechanoelectrical feedback (MEF), via stretch-activated channels. The effects of MEF on the electrophysiology ...
