Integration of Textural and Material Information into BIM Using Spectrometry and Infrared Sensing
(2015-05)
As-built data and drawings are essential documents that contain object dimensions, locations, materials, and other important information used by different parties during the processes of the building design, construction, ...
Cyclic Production Scheduling with Remanufacturing
(2015-06)
The cyclic production scheduling problem is concerned with the development of a least-cost cyclic production schedule for a set of tasks required to produce a set of products over a given production cycle and according to ...
English Language Testing on iPads: Advantages and Disadvantages
(2015-12)
Recently, tablet computers, such as iPads, have been incorporated into many school curricula, and studies have been conducted to explore the effectiveness of iPads as educational tools. This study goes one step further and ...
Fault Coverage and Diagnosis of Protocols and Systems Modeled As Extended Finite State Machines
(2015-01)
Automatic test derivation from formal specifications offers a rigorous discipline to functional conformance testing. In various application domains, such as communication protocols and other reactive systems, the specification ...
Parallel Algorithms for Distinguishing Nondeterministic Finite State Machines
(2015-02)
Many methods are used for the development of experiments and conformance tests based on the specification given in the form Finite State Machines (FSMs). In FSM-based testing, we have an FSM or a black-box Implementation ...
Textual Equivalence through Pragmatics and the Semiotics of Culture
(2015-05)
The science of translation is all about how to transfer the meaning from one language to the target language. This thesis discusses different approaches by some linguists on achieving textual equivalence through interpreting ...
Investigating the Fluorescence Quenching of Doxorubicin in Folic Acid Solutions and Its Relation to Ligand-Targeted Nanocarriers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
Folic acid (FA) is one of the most utilized moieties in active (ligand) drug delivery. The folate receptor is widely expressed on the surface of several cell lines and tumors; including ovarian, brain, kidney, breast, and ...
External strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete beams with flexural CFRP laminates
(International Workshop on Performance, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading (PROTECT 2015), 2015-06)
This paper presents an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded flexural carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to the soffit of the beam via ...
Glove-Based Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition in User-Dependent Mode
(IEEE, 2015)
In this paper we propose a glove-based Arabic sign language recognition system using a novel technique for sequential data classification. We compile a sensor-based dataset of 40 sentences using an 80-word lexicon. In the ...
