A Comparative Study of Energy Performance in Educational Buildings in the UAE
(UTS ePRESS, 2021)
Sustainability has gained popularity and importance around the globe due to the ever-increasing effects of climate change and global warming on Earth. As of the 21st century, human endeavour has caused an enormous amount ...
Characterization of heavy vehicle headways in oversaturated interrupted conditions: Towards development of passenger car equivalency factors
(Elsevier, 2021)
Passenger car equivalency (PCE) of heavy trucks is often studied using filed observation and microscopic simulation models, especially for signalized intersections. While the Highway Capacity Manual recommends a single ...
FE modeling of concrete beams and columns reinforced with FRP composites
(Elsevier, 2021)
Compression and flexure members such as columns and beams are critical in a structure as its failure could lead to the collapse of the structure. In the present work, numerical analysis of square and circle short columns, ...
Evaluating velocity and temperature fields for Ranque Hilsch vortex tube using numerical simulation
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this study, a three-dimensional numerical investigation is carried out to study the flow field inside a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (RHVT) model. Flow parameters such as velocity, temperature, and pressure are plotted at ...
Maximum-Service Channel Assignment in Vehicular Radar-Communication
(IEEE Access, 2021)
Spectrum sharing between different technologies has become a necessity as the RF spectrum has become more congested than ever due to the increasing number of connected devices and applications all wishing to access the ...
A Holistic Intersection Rating System (HIRS)—A Novel Methodology to Measure the Holistic Operational Performance of Signalized Urban Intersections
(MDPI, 2021)
Signalized urban intersections are key components of urban transportation networks. They are traditionally viewed and designed as primarily motorized traffic facilities, and thus their physical and operational designs have ...
A review of post-consumption food waste management and its potentials for biofuel production
(Elsevier, 2021)
The global world production of food waste is expected to increase by 33% within the next decade. The current annual food waste stands at around 1.6 billion tonnes, which is worth around $ 1.2 trillion loss. Out of this, ...
Recent progress and challenges on adsorptive membranes for the removal of pollutants from wastewater. Part I: Fundamentals and classification of membranes
(Elsevier, 2021)
The development of novel wastewater reuse technologies appears to be a thriving area of research. Adsorptive membranes are considered among the promising technologies that exhibited efficiency and competence in water reuse. ...
Damage modeling of ballistic penetration and impact behavior of concrete panel under low and high velocities
(China Ordnance Society, 2021)
This work presents a numerical simulation of ballistic penetration and high velocity impact behavior of plain and reinforced concrete panels. This paper is divided into two parts. The first part consists of numerical ...
Polarimetric SAR Image Filtering by Infinite Number of Looks Prediction Technique
(IEEE, 2021)
Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) images is indispensable before the extraction of the useful information. The minimum mean square error estimate of the filtered pixels ...
