Multiple Plants Capacitated Lot Sizing and Scheduling with Sequence-Dependent Setup Costs
(2016-11)Production planning is a crucial activity for companies to satisfy customers demand while minimizing cost. The objective of this research is to optimize the production planning and scheduling decisions of companies in ... -
Multiple Proposals for Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition
(Springer, 2019)The deaf community relies on sign language as the primary means of communication. For the millions of people around the world who suffer from hearing loss, interaction with hearing people is quite difficult. The main ... -
A Multistage Passive Islanding Detection Method for Synchronous-Based Distributed Generation
(IEEE, 2021-03)A multistage approach to passive islanding detection is proposed that utilizes a decision tree (DT) like classification algorithm. The novelty of the proposed method is centered on the way in which features are passed to ... -
Music Aptitude and Phonemic Processing
(2022-11)Music aptitude and second language (L2) phonemic processing are said to be connected via the processing of sounds, which also known as acoustic processing. Previous literature on this topic discusses how vowels are associated ... -
Muslim Women's Evolving Leadership Roles: A Case Study of Women Leaders in an Immigrant Muslim Community in Post-9/11 America
(Sage, 2017)Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork in a multi-ethnic immigrant Muslim congregation in a Midwestern city in the United States, this paper scrutinizes the intricate process through which women uses traditional ... -
Mxene-Based Implantable and Flexible Electrodes for Neuromuscular Monitoring
(2023-06)Biocompatible and long lasting bioelectrodes have advanced neural sensing and muscle stimulation research in recent years. Previously, bioelectrodes constructed from metals suffered from mechanical and immunological ... -
n-Hexadecane Fuel for a Phosphoric Acid Direct Hydrocarbon Fuel Cell
(Hindawi, 2015-01)The objective of this work was to examine fuel cells as a possible alternative to the diesel fuel engines currently used in railway locomotives, thereby decreasing air emissions from the railway transportation sector. We ... -
The n-zero-divisor graph of a commutative semigroup
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-04-16)Let S be a (multiplicative) commutative semigroup with 0, Z(S) the set of zero-divisors of S, and n a positive integer. The zero-divisor graph of S is the (simple) graph Γ(S) with vertices Z(S) ∗ = Z(S) \ {0}, and distinct ... -
Nanoparticle-based materials in anticancer drug delivery: Current and future prospects
(Elsevier, 2023)The past decade has witnessed a breakthrough in novel strategies to treat cancer. One of the most common cancer treatment modalities is chemotherapy which involves administering anti-cancer drugs to the body. However, these ... -
Nanosensors in the Construction Industry
(2015-02-01)Nanosensors aid in the detection of cracks and defects in concrete, the detection of moisture and temperature variations of structures, and the reduction of physical labor. -
Nanotechnology for Cancer Treatment
(2015-02-01)Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells segregate without control and are able to attack other normal tissues. -
A Navigation and Control System for a Robot in Indoor/Outdoor Environments
(2016-05)This thesis presents an approach to solving the global navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots in indoor and outdoor environments. The presented solutions are based on probabilistic approaches. In outdoor environment, ... -
A Navigation System for Indoor/Outdoor Environments with an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)
(2015-05)This thesis presents an approach for solving the global navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots. The presented solution for outdoor navigation uses Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the robot location based on ... -
Near-Field FMCW Radar for Mapping of Multilayer Structures
(2010-05)Near-field microwave non-destructive evaluation and inspection (NDE&I) of structures and materials is widely used in many applications. Single frequency measurements were found to be effective in detecting defects and ... -
