Brain Connectivity Analysis Under Semantic Vigilance and Enhanced Mental States
(MDPI, 2019)In this paper, we present a method to quantify the coupling between brain regions under vigilance and enhanced mental states by utilizing partial directed coherence (PDC) and graph theory analysis (GTA). The vigilance state ... -
Build it Green
(2014-01-19)In our research we have identified three main problems in conventional buildings which could be addressed by green buildings. The three problems are: CO2 Emissions, Temperature Increase and Pure Water Shortage. These factors ... -
Building Artificial Mountains to Increase Precipitation in the UAE
(2016-11)In the recent years temperature has been rising noticeably in the UAE. The raise of temperature has been causing a raise of humidity level. Artificial mountains can be built to decrease the humidity level and promote ... -
Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Systems
(2015-02-01)Would transparent photovoltaic cells contribute in producing at least part of the energy consumed when applied on high rise towers. -
Carbon Capture and Sequestration
(2015-02-01)Global warming is continuous problem facing our world today. Carbon sequestration could be the solution to resolving this problem. -
Centralizing EMRs Using a Cloud Platform in the UAE
(2014-07-22)EMRs is the coming of age tech that revolutionized data storage and access to make it more efficient and less costly. Current ways of storing EMRs is by setting up servers that can handle vast amounts of information. The ... -
Charging On the Move
(2014-07-22)Nowadays, most electronic devices are equipped with sub-standard batteries that are not long lasting. According to statistics, a battery for a mobile lasts for around 17 hours with lower than average use. This is very ... -
Clean Coal Power Plants
(2014-01-19)It talks about diversifying sources of energy in the Gulf region rather than depending on one or two sources (gas and fuel). We are planning to implement clean coal technology as another source of energy. This power plant ... -
Concentrated Energy Towers
(2016-11)Renewable energy is a key aspect in providing a safe source of energy for future generations. One of the main sources of renewable energy is solar energy. Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed ... -
Concentrated Solar Power Towers
(2016-11)As technology increases in variety and complexity, power consumption and the demand for electricity are on the rise. Coupled with the hazardous environmental effects that fossil fuels create and their limited supply, ... -
Connecting the GCC Countries with the Maglev Train
(2014-07-22)The GCC tourism rate is growing rapidly every year however; the region is limited to air and vehicle travel making transportation costly. With Dubai winning the Expo 2020 bid and Qatar winning the World Cup 2022 bid, there ... -
Construction with Contour Crafting
(2016-11)The emirate’s population is growing 7% year-on-year, meaning that at least 75,000 new properties are needed each year to keep up with demand. The number of properties for sale in Dubai is beginning to fall below the level ... -
Contactless Power Transfer (CPT) System in Electric Vehicles (EV’s)
(2016-11)The usage of Electric Vehicles (EV’s) is increasing in European countries because of the low tax rates for low-emission vehicles in these nations. However, the inconvenient charging procedures associated with EV’s have ... -
Converting Low Level Nuclear Waste to Fuel
(2016-11)In modern times, the use of nuclear energy has increased due to the depletion of petroleum and fossil fuels. However, the nuclear power plants produce hazardous nuclear waste that adversely affects the environment.These ... -
DEFC and Panicum Virgatum to Power the Future
(2014-01-19)Many rely on fossil fuels as a primary source of energy to satisfy everyday needs of transportation and electricity. Within 45 years we will be facing a shortage of current fossil fuels thus research is being carried out ... -
Desalination Using Deionization
(2014-07-22)The largest source of the water in the world is the ocean. In 2025, 40% of the world will be living in water scarce regions. There is an obvious demand for water at all times. The dominating desalinization process are ... -
Desalination Using Solar Ponds
(2014-07-22)The growing demand of freshwater is placing huge pressure on existing supplies. Seawater is a vast source to satisfy this demand. However, seawater cannot be directly consumed and therefore, desalination of seawater is a ... -
Design and Construction of a Cross-Laminated Timber Skyscraper
(2016-11)Concrete and steel are currently the building materials in most skyscraper construction. Due to their negative impact on the environment, timber has been proposed as an alternative material. -
Design of Airfoils for Wind Turbine Rotors
(2014-07-22)The turbine is a machine which converts rotational energy into usable work or usable energy. This change is initiated through mechanical gearing or because of electromagnetic induction, which results in electricity. There ... -
Detecting and Fixing Pipeline Faults in a Non-Invasive Manner
(2016-11)Pipes are usually fixed invasively, or even replaced completely which costs a lot of resources. Inspection of the pipelines and their repair can be automated with the help of autonomous robots and other machinery that aids ...
