Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the Presence of Activated Carbon
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014-10)
This report studies the performance of a Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) in the presence ofactivated carbon in both the cathode and anode chambers. The large surface area of the activatedcarbon provides surface for ...
Capacity of Fox's H-function Fading Channel with Adaptive Transmission
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016)
Novel closed-form exact expressions for the capacity of the recently-introduced Fox's H-function fading channel are derived. The expressions are obtained assuming different types of adaptive transmission strategies, namely, ...
Vigilance Decrement and Enhancement Techniques: A Review
(MDPI, 2019)
This paper presents the first comprehensive review on vigilance enhancement using both conventional and unconventional means, and further discusses the resulting contradictory findings. It highlights the key differences ...
Ultrasound-triggered Release from Micelles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
Spectrum Sensing Via Reconfigurable Antennas: Fundamental Limits and Potential Gains
(Springer, 2016-07)
We propose a novel spectrum sensing technique in cognitive radio networks that provides diversity and capacity benefits using a single antenna at the Secondary User (SU) receiver. The proposed scheme is based on a ...
Rapid Separation of Bacteria from Blood - Review and Outlook
(American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), 2016)
The high morbidity and mortality rate of bloodstream infections involving antibiotic‐resistant bacteria necessitate a rapid identification of the infectious organism and its resistance profile. Traditional methods based ...
Shear Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using CFRP Wraps
(Elsevier, 2019)
The need to retrofit existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures have increased over the decades due to corrosion of steel reinforcement inside the concrete, neglect and overuse, and increased loading. Experimental and ...
Design and simulation of a UOIT copper–chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(Wiley, 2012)
A design and simulation study of the four-step copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle using Aspen Plus software (Aspen Technology Inc., Cambridge, MA)is reported. The simulation consists of four main sections: hydrolysis, ...
Investigation of Energy Storage Batteries in Stability Enforcement of Low Inertia Active Distribution Network
(Springer Link, 2019)
The inherent intermittency of renewable power generation poses one of the great challenges to the future smart grid.With incentives and subsidies, the penetration level of small-scale renewable energy into power grids is ...
Functional fatigue of Ni50.3Ti25Hf24.7 - Heterogeneities and evolution of local transformation strains
(Elsevier, 2017)
Shape memory alloys achieve their unique and desirable property of large recoverable strains through phase transformation. The attained magnitudes of transformation strains is strongly affected by the level of deformation ...
