Flexural Performance of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Ultra High Strength Concrete
(2022-04)
This research investigated the flexural performance of beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and cast using Ultra High Strength Concrete (UHSC) with a nominal compressive strength of 140 MPa. A total ...
Design and Analysis of Gas Diffusion Layers in a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
(MDPI, 2022)
A proton exchange membrane fuel cell is an energy convertor that produces environmentally friendly electrical energy by oxidation of hydrogen, with water and heat being byproducts. This study investigates the gas diffusion ...
Comparative Evaluation of Membrane Filtration on the Tertiary Treatment of Synthetic Secondary Effluent
(MDPI, 2022-02)
Wastewater reuse is essential for sustainable water management. However, it requires tertiary treatment within the plant to ensure suitable water quality. This project aims to investigate the comparative performance of ...
A Dynamic Optimal Battery Swapping Mechanism for Electric Vehicles using an LSTM-based Rolling Horizon Approach
(IEEE, 2022-01)
This paper proposes a new approach for optimal operation of an Electric Vehicle (EV) battery-swapping station (BSS) based on Rolling-Horizon optimization (RHO). The BSS has several swapping bays such that each can accommodate ...
Optimal Operation of Virtual Charging Systems for Plug-In Electric Vehicles
(IEEE, 2022-01)
This paper proposes a novel concept, denoted as Virtual Charging System (VCS), for electric vehicles’ (EVs). In a conventional charging system (CCS) with a competitive environment, the competition between charging stations ...
A projection scheme for phase change problems with convection
(Elseiver, 2022-01)
Numerical modeling of phase change problems with convection is known to be computationally expensive. The main challenge comes from the coupling between Navier–Stokes and heat energy equations. In this paper, we develop a ...
Efficiency of parallel anisotropic mesh adaptation for the solution of the bidomain model in cardiac tissue
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Electrocardiology models are nonlinear reaction–diffusion type systems, where the numerical simulation requires extremely fine meshes to accurately compute the heart’s electrical activity. Anisotropic mesh adaptation methods ...
Redox-Responsive Drug Delivery Systems: A Chemical Perspective
(MDPI, 2022)
With the widespread global impact of cancer on humans and the extensive side effects associated with current cancer treatments, a novel, effective, and safe treatment is needed. Redoxresponsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) ...
