Mesoscale Statistics and Scaling Laws in Planar Elastic Checkerboards
(2014-05)
Miniaturization and the need for novel materials with unique properties have driven composite materials to the forefront of research in solid mechanics. The response of a composite microstructure is dependent on the ...
Magnetic Fe3O4 Nano-Structured Coatings for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel
(2014-07)
The use of coatings is a prime method in corrosion control of mild steel in the industry. Inorganic coatings have proven potency in corrosion control over organic ones; however, they have always been associated with a ...
Predicting Hypoglycemia in Diabetic Patients using Machine Learning Techniques
(2014-06)
Diabetes is a chronic disease that needs continuous blood glucose monitoring and self-management. The improper control of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients can lead to serious complications such as kidney and heart ...
And the Mountains Echoed: Translation and Commentary
(2014-07)
Many world-famous authors owe a significant portion of their fame to the unsung heroes of literary translation. This thesis explores issues related to literary translation by translating a literary text and providing a ...
Advances in periodic difference equations with open problems
(Springer, 2014)
In this paper, we review some recent results on the dynamics of semi-dynamical systems generated by the iteration of a periodic sequence of continuous maps. In particular, we state several open problems focused on the ...
Folding and unfolding in periodic difference equations
(Elseiver, 2014)
Given a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn mod p(xn), where each fj is a continuous interval map, j = 0, 1, . . . , p − 1, we discuss the notion of folding and unfolding related to this type of non-autonomous equations. ...
Investigating the Stability of eLiposomes at Elevated Temperatures
(Sage Publishing, 2014)
eLiposomes encapsulate a perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion droplet inside a liposome. Ultrasound is then used as a trigger mechanism to vaporize the perfluorocarbon, break the liposome, and release the desired drug to the tumor ...
A case study of a college-wide first-year undergraduate engineering course
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Introductory engineering courses are either programme specific or expose students to engineering as a broad discipline by including materials from various engineering programmes. A common introductory engineering course ...
Solar Powered Building with Dynamic Shading System
(2014-01-19)
The design and architecture of the International Royal Hotel (IRH) complies with the code of green building as the hotel does not depend solely on non-renewable energy sources. Moreover, the IRH's design is the most efficient ...
Light Emitting Concrete (LEC)
(2014-07-22)
Currently, the world recognizes concrete as just a dull, grey building material. However,
concrete has the potential to cater to different functions as well.
