Mobile robots obstacles avoidance using dynamic window approach
(2018-05)
In recent years autonomous mobile robots have been used widely in research and commercial environments. They can be found in industrial, military and security settings. Some robots require operation in environments that ...
Effect of Flexural NSM-FRP Bars on the Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams
(2019-05)
Strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members in flexure and shear, using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates and near surface mounted (NSM) bars has been developed over the last few decades. Conventionally, FRP ...
Experimental Study of Punching Shear Resistance of Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete Interior Slabs
(2016-09)
This study experimentally explores the suitability of Synthetic Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SNFRC) as a feasible method for improving the punching shear strength of two-way slabs. The investigation involved interior flat ...
Durability Study on the Bond Strength of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Bars
(2014-02)
In the last few decades, Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) bars have emerged as alternatives to conventional steel reinforcing bars to overcome the corrosion problem found in reinforced concrete structures. Numerous studies ...
Liposomal drug release using ultrasound and modeling release dynamics for model predictive controller design
(2015-06)
Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients such as fatigue, weight loss, pain, hair fall and nausea. Those side effects are due to the fact that most of the ...
Meta-Heuristic Procedures for the Multi-Resource Leveling Problem with Activity Splitting
(2011-04)
The proper utilization of resources is important to achieve project success. In project management, there are two types of resource scheduling problems. The first is resource allocation in which activities are scheduled ...
Face Flow: Constrained Optical Flow Framework for Faces
(2020-05)
In computer vision, models and methods for facial expression recognition are continually in development. Several models aim to describe the highly complex structure of different faces, which in turn allows researchers to ...
Buckling of Pretwisted Steel Columns
(2015-01)
Buckling is a mode of failure that is mainly observed in compression members due to structural instability. Inducing a natural pretwist along the length of a column section makes the column have a different resistance at ...
Assessment of Inventory and Transportation Collaboration in a Logistics Marketplace
(2020-03)
The globalization of businesses and the consequent competition introduce significant pressures on logistics systems. One such key demand on the role of logistics within organizations is the increased emphasis on time-based ...
Polyaniline Based Composite Membranes for PEM Fuel Cells: Experiments and Factorial Design
(2020-12)
Higher temperature operation (higher than 100 ºC) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is preferred and has several advantages including enhanced fuel cell kinetics, improved catalysts tolerance for contaminants ...
