Evaluation of the bending properties of profiled skin structure
(2016-01)
This research is focused on developing a representative testing method for structural skin panels. The profiled panels are widely used in many applications used in warehouses and factories. They are mainly used as roof or ...
Thermodynamic Analysis of Integrated Renewable Energy Systems for Sustainable Building Operation
(2015-02)
Increasing demands for energy, depleting hydrocarbon reserves, and accelerated climate change drive the need to look for alternative sources of energy. The residential housing sector is one of the main consumers of electrical ...
An Experimental Investigation of R134a Clathrates with Liquid Additives
(2016-09)
Thermal energy storage (TES) using phase change materials is one of the most effective solutions for energy conservation. The selection of a phase changing material (PCM) with different liquid additives could improve the ...
The Subtitles of H. Dabbour: A Translational Dilemma
(2012-05)
Nowadays, with the presence of the Internet and evolution of the mass media, the world has become a global village, which has made the role of translation vital and indispensable in bridging gaps in communication. Films ...
Lateral Earth Pressure on Non-Yielding Walls Supporting Over-Consolidated Sand
(2013-07)
The most important problem associated with retaining wall structures is the additional compaction-induced lateral earth pressure. Currently, none of the available design methods used to calculate the lateral earth force ...
MANET Cluster Optimization Using ILP/SAT Techniques
(2012-01)
In recent years, there have been several improvements in the performance of Integer Linear Programming (ILP) and Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) solvers. These improvements have encouraged the modeling of complex engineering ...
Performance of Forward Osmosis Using Various Membranes
(2013-01)
As a result of water scarcity, increasing demand for freshwater, and energy intensive nature of the conventional desalination processes, advancing the science of desalination is crucial in the development of sustainable ...
Culture and the Translation of Self-Help Discourse
(2012-12)
The discourse of self-help books has gained popularity during the last decade or so. Cross-culturally, however, this discourse incorporates different cultural beliefs that might cause problems for the "other" and for ...
Equilibrium and Diffusion in Molecular Sieves
(2011-06)
Two topics in equilibrium and one in diffusion in zeolites are examined. The sorption of CO2 in 5A and 13X zeolites is detailed. Thirteen studies from the literature and one unreported study are examined for saturation ...
Sorbate Density in 13x Zeolite
(2011-06)
The objective of this study on sorbate densities on 13X or NaX zeolite is to deduce a model equation to predict the intrinsic isotherm saturation loadings. The input information for the model equation is the crystallographic ...
