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 GaN Doherty Power Amplifiers Using Memoryless Polar Domain Functions and Deep Neural Networks
(IEEE, 2020)In this paper, novel Doherty Power Amplifier (DPA) models are presented. The motivation behind the proposed models is to accurately predict static nonlinearities in the compression regions of the carrier and peaking ... -
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. ... -
A Benchmarking Approach to the Progress of Green Materials and systems’ use in the UAE construction industry
(Emerald, 2016)Over the past decade, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) introduced several green regulatory guidelines, federal decrees, and a considerable number of environmentally friendly initiatives. Hence, the purpose of this paper is ... -
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 ... -
Benchmarking Sustainable Construction Technology
(2011-10)The objective of this research was to measure the use of recognized technology that promotes and supports sustainable development in building construction projects. This research hinged on the use of the Sustainable ... -
Benthic development on large-scale engineered reefs: a comparison of communities among breakwaters of different age and natural reefs
(2011-02)Breakwaters represent large-scale engineered artificial reefs that can develop diverse and abundant communities and are likely to play an increasing role in marine ecosystems as human populations grow in coastal urban ... -
The Beverton–Holt model with periodic and conditional harvesting
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2009)In this theoretical study, we investigate the effect of different harvesting strategies on the discrete Beverton–Holt model in a deterministic environment. In particular, we make a comparison between the constant, periodic ... -

Bibles and Bathrooms: Intersex Variation Awareness Among College-Aged American Christians
(Sage, 2022)The extant literature concerning the existence and experience of the LGBTQIA+ community in the United States sometimes overshadows that of people with intersex variations (Jones, 2018). While many people with intersex ... -
Big Data Energy Management, Analytics and Visualization for Residential Areas
(IEEE, 2020)With the rapid development of IoT based home appliances, it has become a possibility that home owners share with Utilities in the management of home appliances energy consumption. Thus, the proposed work empowers home ... -
Big Data in the MENA Region: The Next Path Towards Socio-economic and Cultural Development
(American Anthropological Association, 2017)As elsewhere, big data is perceived as central to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) nations’ socio-economic and cultural development. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, by virtue of its advanced information ... -
BIM as a Pedagogical Tool for Teaching HVAC Systems to Architecture Students
(ASCE, 2019)Understanding the basics of Environmental Control Systems including HVAC systems is required in architectural curricula. One of the challenges of learning this subject is the nonfamiliarity of the students with the components ... -
BIM for Energy Modelling of Green Buildings
(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 ... -
