Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Shear Walls with Perforations
(2016-01)
The lateral load-resisting system of a building is an essential part of the structure and is critical for stability. Most reinforced concrete buildings around the world use reinforced concrete shear walls as their main ...
Evaluation of a Cold Thermal Energy Storage System Using Alternative Refrigerants
(2016-05)
This study provides a detailed comparison study between clathrate hydrate of R134a and R404a refrigerants in a direct contact thermal energy storage system. Numerous closed loop cycles using hydrate of each refrigerant ...
Efficient Dynamic Cost Scheduling Algorithm for Data Batch Processing
(2016-05)
Batch scheduling and processing play a critical role in many manufacturing and service industries. They are widely used in service industries such as banking to process data which makes them of great importance since data ...
Extended Behavioral Modeling of FET and Lattice-Mismatched HEMT Devices
(2016-01)
This study presents an improved large signal model that can be used for High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) and Field Effect Transistors (FETs) using measurement-based behavioral modeling techniques. The steps for ...
Integrated Power Amplifier Design with Built-in Analog Pre-Distortion
(2016-05)
The fifth generation of mobile communication (5G) is aiming for higher frequency bands, so it can be capable of delivering faster communication and higher data rate. One of the most challenging parts of power amplifier ...
Evaluating Reading Comprehension Testing in Kuwait
(2016-05)
In order to improve Kuwait eighth grade intermediate stage reading comprehension tests, it is important to obtain concrete information about the usefulness of these tests. This study is an evaluation of the current eighth ...
Added Mass Formulation For Fluid-Structure Interaction
(2016-05)
Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) occurs due to interaction of multiple continuum fields. In our daily life, FSI is a common phenomenon. Birds flying in the air, leaves falling off the tree and waving flags are examples ...
Optimization of Excess of Loss Reinsurance Structure
(2016-01)
In the current practice in the region, before purchasing a reinsurance contract, small to medium insurance companies rarely conduct internal analysis of their data and experiences in order to evaluate and achieve optimal ...
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 ...
Harvesting and stocking in discrete-time contest competition models with open problems and conjectures
(Palestine Polytechnic University, 2016)
In this survey, we present a class of first and second-order difference equations representing general form of discrete models arising from single-species with contest competition. Then, we consider various harvesting/stocking ...
