Statistical Modelling and Correlation of Membrane Distillation Data
(2014-07)Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is a temperature gradient rather than conventional gradients based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, or freezing ... -
Statistical Year Book
(Sharjah. Department of Statistics and Community Development, 2012)Contains statistics about: climate, population & vital statistics, agriculture, industry, electricity & water, construction, transportation & communication, education, health, tourism & hotels, culture & information, ... -
Stochastic Geometry-Based Model for Dynamic Allocation of Metering Equipment in Spatio-Temporal Expanding Power Grids
(IEEE, 2019)With smart grids replacing conventional power grids and rapidly expanding in both space and time, ensuring an acceptable system observability becomes a challenge in spatio-temporal expanding power grids. In addition, system ... -
Stop-Go Monetary Policy
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)We propose and estimate several discrete choice models of monetary policy decision-making that feature time-varying inertia. The models permit us to account for three stylized facts characterizing monetary policy making ... -
Storage Solutions for Power Quality Problems in Cyprus Electricity Distribution Network
(2014-01)In this work, a prediction of the effects of introducing energy storage systems on the network stability of the distribution network of Cyprus and a comparison in terms of cost with a traditional solution is carried out. ... -
Strain rate effect on twip/trip high entropy alloy
(2021-07)High Entropy Alloys (HEA) present opportunities to develop new materials with outstanding mechanical properties. Through the careful selection of constituent elements along with optimized thermal processing for proper ... -
A Strategic Framework for a Smart Campus: American University of Sharjah Case Study
(2019-09)As the term smart campus attracts the professionals and academics from multiple disciplines, and the technology keeps intervening in every aspect of life; it becomes inevitable for the smart campus to take place and ... -
Strategic Human Resource Management of International Assignments
(Elsevier, 2007)Throughout this chapter, we have studied five topics related to international HRM. First, we have examined the four major approaches to staffing foreign operations: ethnocentric, polycentric, geocentric, and regiocentric. ... -
Strategies and Limitations in Advertising Translation from English into Arabic
(2008-01)This thesis examines the importance of advertising translation in today's global world. Its overall aim is to investigate strategies and limitations affecting advertising translation from English into Arabic, and concludes ... -
Strength and Ductility of Axially Loaded RC Short Columns Confined with CFRP and GFRP Wraps
(2013-01)With the evolution of technology, construction industry has witnessed enormous advancement in the production of concrete and construction materials. Such materials have helped the community to produce structures that consume ... -
Strength and Durability Evaluation of Recycled Aggregate Concrete
(2015-06)This paper discusses the suitability of producing concrete with 100 % recycled aggregate to meet durability and strength requirements for different applications. Aggregate strength, gradation, absorption, specific gravity, ... -
Strengthening of High Strength Reinforced Concrete Slabs with CFRP Laminates
(2016-05)During the last few decades, engineers and researchers used high-strength concrete to cast reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Accordingly, the dead weight of buildings and structures were reduced significantly, which ... -
Strengthening of reinforced concrete beams in flexure with side bonded CFRP laminates
(Conference on Durability of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites for Construction and Rehabilitation of Structures (CDCC 2017), 2017-07)Carbon fiber reinforcement polymer CFRP laminates are widely used nowadays in civil engineering applications to externally strengthen structural concrete elements against deficiencies in flexure and shear. These deficiencies ... -
Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Composite of Near Surface Mounted CFRP Strips and Fabric
(2016-01)In this study, the efficiency of using near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips with CFRP confinement for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) columns was investigated. The columns were ... -
Strengthening of Shear Deficient Beams with CFRP Laminates with Different Types of Anchorage Systems
