Dynamics of a four-bar mechanism with clearance and springs - Modeling and experimental analysis
(Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers and Springer, 2017)This paper presents a study of the dynamic behavior of a planar four-bar mechanism with clearance. A spring is added to improve the dynamic response of the mechanism with clearance. Simulations and experimental tests are ... -
Dynamics of Chemotherapeutic Drug Release from Liposomes Using Low-Frequency Ultrasound
(2015-01)This thesis focuses on the study of liposomes; nanoparticles that can act as anticancer drug carriers, in combination with ultrasound applied as a drug trigger, with the objective of reducing the side effects caused by ... -
The dynamics of some discrete models with delay under the effect of constant yield harvesting
(Elsevier, 2013)In this paper, we study the dynamics of population models of the form xn+1 = xnf(xn−1) under the effect of constant yield harvesting. Results concerning stability, boundedness, persistence and oscillations of solutions are ... -
Early detection of struvite formation in wastewater treatment plants
(2015-04)Wastewater treatment plants operating anaerobic digestion of their sludge often have to encounter phosphate-based formations that clog piping, valves and pumps that reduce the efficiency of the treatment plant. In addition ... -
Earthquake Resistant Building
(2014-01-19)Thousands of innocent lives have been taken away due to seismic crashes and earthquakes. Besides human losses, a lot of money is spent on restructuring what has been collapsed and destroyed. Unfortunately, since most ... -
Eastern Germany's Transportation System: Can it Compete in Europe 1992?
(Physica-Verlag, Heidelberg, 1991)The eastern German rail system is operating with one half the line network of western Germany, but approximately the same numer of employees and amount of freight carriage. The two rail systems are proportionately about ... -
eBook strategies for building collections and framework models
(2013-11-07)As adoption of ebooks continues to grow, libraries are being presented with a growing range of access and pricing models, including (but not limited to) single-user purchase, multi-user purchase, subscription, collections ... -
Eco-Friendly Green Factory
(2014-01-19)The main objective of this report is to come up with Eco-Friendly Green Factories using different solutions as the waste produced by factories is harming the environment in numerous ways; noise pollution, air pollution, ... -
Economic Allocation of Reliability Growth Testing Using Weibull Distributions
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Reliability growth testing (RGT) has been widely used for assessing the reliability of complex systems in many industries such as automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas industry. The traditional common and practiced approach ... -
Economics of hydrogen production and liquefaction by geothermal energy
(2012-01)Seven models are considered for the production and liquefaction of hydrogen by geothermal energy. In these models, we use electrolysis and high-temperature steam electrolysis processes for hydrogen production, a binary ... -
Educators' and Parents' Attitudes Towards Code Switching By Arab Bilinguals: Pedagogical Implications
(2006-05)This study explores educators' and parents' attitudes towards the phenomenon of Arabic-English code switching (CS) in the culturally and linguistically diverse context of the UAE. Arabic-English language mixing is a ... -
EEG-Based Semantic Vigilance Level Classification Using Directed Connectivity Patterns and Graph Theory Analysis
(IEEE, 2020)This paper proposes two novel methods to classify semantic vigilance levels by utilizing EEG directed connectivity patterns with their corresponding graphical network measures. We estimate the directed connectivity using ... -
Effect of Aggregate Type and Specimen Configuration on Concrete Compressive Strength
(2017-04)Cement content, water-to-cement ratio (w/c), aggregate size and type, specimen size and shape, loading rate, and curing are some factors that affect the concrete compressive strength. This study focuses on the effect of ... -
Effect of Aggregate Type and Specimen Configuration on Concrete Compressive Strength
(MDPI, 2020)In this paper, concrete mixes utilizing two sizes of natural aggregate and two sources of lightweight and recycled aggregates were used to investigate the effect of aggregate type and specimen size and shape on the compressive ... -
Effect of Basalt Fibers on The Flexural Behavior of Beams Reinforced With BFRP Bars
(2018-05)Over the last few decades, construction materials have gone through many developments aimed at improving their structural and operational properties. The implementation of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars as a replacement ... -
Effect of Basalt Microfiber on the Shear Response of RC Short Beams
(2019-12)Basalt composites are known for their high strength, lightweight and corrosion-resistance features. Basalt microfibers in fiber reinforced concrete mixes (FRC) can enhance the tensile strength, toughness and ductility as ... -
Effect of Concrete Type on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with HSS Bars
(2016-03)High-Strength Steel (HSS) bars can be a promising alternative to commonly used mild steel since they have the potential of making more efficient use of highperformance concrete and reducing the required number and size of ... -
