Battery Energy Management Techniques for Electric Vehicle Traction System
(2019-11)Dependency of the modern society on fossil fuels has created significant levels of environmental pollution. Therefore, the automotive industry is moving towards a cleaner transportation system in the form of battery electric ... -
Behavior of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) Under Different Loading Conditions
(2012-06)Concrete Filled Steel Tubes (CFSTs) were used in construction in the early 1900's. However, the research into CFSTs did not begin until the 1960s. From that time onwards, several studies were conducted on the CFSTs to fully ... -
Behavior of FRP-RC Columns Using BFRP Ties under Concentric Loading
(2019-12)Several studies have investigated the use of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) rebars in reinforced concrete (RC) flexural members. However, not enough depth of understanding is currently available with regards to their use ... -
Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with CFRP Laminates Under Fire - A Finite Element Simulation
(2011-03)For the last two decades, the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) material has been successfully employed in many civil engineering applications. FRP strengthening systems are mainly used to retrofit existing and deficient ... -
Behavioral Modeling of RF Power Amplifiers Using Reduced Sampling Rate
(2018-11)The increasing demands for high data rates on wireless communication systems necessitate the enhancement of those systems in terms of software and hardware requirements. This creates real complications in designing power ... -
Behaviour of Shear Deficient Reinforced Concrete Beams with Externally Bonded Aluminum Plates
(2012-06)Enhancing the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams was done using many different ways and materials. Steel and Fiber reinforced polymers are the most common materials used to strengthen RC beams in shear. ... -
Benchmarking Energy Management Systems in Metro Stations
(2015-05)Energy and environmental sustainability have become central objectives in mobility system design and mass transit schemes. In addition to environmental prudence, a new world economic order calls for more efficient use of ... -

(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 ... -
Bingham Fluid Flow in the Entrance Region of a Pipe
(2019-05)The isothermal laminar flow of a Bingham fluid in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been studied previously by many authors using different approaches. As current research stands, the momentum integral approach ... -
Biomarker Discovery Utilizing Big Data: The Case of Diabetes in United Arab Emirates
(2022-05)Diabetes Mellitus (DM) received substantial attention for exploring its mechanism as expected to be the seventh primary reason for death worldwide by 2030. The hallmark of DM leads to damaging effects on many organ systems, ... -
Biometric Identification Based on Eye Movement and Iris Features Using Task-Driven and Task-Independent Stimuli
(2013-06)This work investigates the feasibility of using the dynamic features of the eyes for biometric identification. Identifying individuals using eye movements is typically limited by a low accuracy, thus preventing this technique ... -
Bond Stress-Slip Models and Behavior of Aluminum Alloys-Concrete Interface
(2017-01)In the last few decades, different techniques have been used for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures to increase their strength and stiffness. One of these techniques involves the use of steel and fiber ... -
Bootstrap-based Aggregations and their Stability in Feature Selection
(2022-06)With the rapid development of technology and the Internet, datasets have grown increasingly larger in size and dimensionality. As a result, feature selection has become a critical reprocessing tool in machine learning ... -
Brain Source Localization in the Presence of Leadfield Perturbations
(2015-05)Brain source localization enables us to localize different areas of the brain that are activated during any mental activity. This thesis makes use of Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings which is an important noninvasive ... -
Breast Density Estimation in Mammograms Using Unsupervised Image Segmentation
(2023-11)Breast cancer, the most prevalent cancer in women as of 2020, poses significant health risks. Early detection is crucial for effective management, and mammography serves as a key screening method. Mammograms, produced ... -
