Portfolio Value Optimization Model for Sustainable Construction Projects
(2021-05)The continuous growth and development threaten the world’s natural resources and lead to several adverse effects. The construction industry is widely blamed for its negative impact on the environment. Yet, developers/clients ... -
Computational Fluid Dynamics of Energy Separation in Vortex Tube
(2021-05)Devil’s Tube is the name that some researchers chose for Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube because of the ambiguity of its working mechanism. In an attempt to unveil the principle of energy separations in this tube, this study ... -
Collaborative Caching for D2D Content Sharing in 5G
(2021-05)Due to a huge number of mobile devices expected to be connected to 5G wireless networks and their expected demand for high data-rate multimedia services, the core network and backhaul links are expected to carry enormous ... -
Vigilance Assessment Using EEG and Eye Tracking Data Fusion
(2021-04)Vigilance describes the ability to maintain alertness while performing a task for a prolonged time. Maintaining vigilance is one of the requirements in many workplaces, especially those that rely on monitoring, such as: ... -
Modeling, design, and implementation of a bio-inspired propulsion mechanism for underwater vehicles
(2021-04)Recent advances in bio-robotics research and smart materials have boosted the development of bio-inspired autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to replace their conventional counterparts driven by rotary propellers. These ... -
Nonlinear Bending and Snapthrough Response of Doubly Curved Laminated Shells
(2021-04)Shell structures made up of conventional fiber reinforced composite (FRC) laminates find many applications in engineering fields. In contrary to plate structures, shells exhibit two stable equilibrium configurations. Due ... -
Enhanced Water Network Leak Detection Methods
(2021-04)Water is an essential element and source of life. It is considered a scarce element that goes through several procedures for it be consumable. Once the water is treated and is deemed potable or clean, it is then distributed ... -
Implementation of a Smart Storage System for Fruit Quality Preservation
(2021-02)Food packaging has evolved throughout the decades from being a simple container to hold food, to being an active agent in the role of preserving the product’s shelf life. However, according to the Food and Agriculture ... -
