Performance of CI Engine Operating with Hydrogen Supplement Cocombustion with Jojoba Methyl Ester
(Elsevier, 2016-06-29)
The present work experimentally investigates the performance of compression ignition (CI) engine which operates on hydrogen and Jojoba methyl ester (JME). The hydrogen is introduced by enriching air-intake manifold with ...
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 ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Buildings in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
(2013-06)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is generally known to be a region of low seismicity despite being in close proximity to active seismic zones. However, recent moderate earthquakes that occurred within the UAE highlighted the ...
BIM for Energy Modelling of Green Buildings
(2018-11)
Energy conservation has become a priority for many governments and sustainable building standards such as LEEDS and Estidama. This is largely due to the high energy demand of buildings and the rising concerns over the ...
Residential Area Energy Consumption Big Data Analytics and Visualization
(2018-06)
As Internet of Things (IoT) technology and open source file distributed system applications are evolving, home appliances can be monitored and controlled via an IoT-based home gateway. These gateways collect energy consumption ...
The Effects of Local Aggregates on the Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC)
(2013-06)
Engineered Cementitous Composites (ECC) are a class of ultra-ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composites characterized by a strain hardening behavior and a high strain capacity when subjected to tensile loading. ECC ...
Investigating and Modeling the Acoustic Release of Doxorubicin from Folate Targeted Micelles
(2012-06)
To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasound. This thesis reports ...
Transformer Condition Assessment Using Artificial Intelligence
(2010-05)
As a result of the deregulations in the power system networks, utilities have been competing to optimize their operational costs and enhance the reliability of their electrical infrastructure. So, the importance of ...
Analysis of an Airfoil with Rotating Cylinder for Improved Performance
(2019-04)
Among the multiple techniques used for boundary-layer control and flow separation delay, moving surface boundary-layer control is one of the promising approaches. Adding a rotating cylinder is one means of enhancing the ...
Investigating the inclusion of online discussions to enhance students' learning in general education undergraduate classes
(Asociación Europea para la Enseñanza de Idiomas Asistida por Ordenador = European Association for Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2010-03)
Discussion of class material has many educational benefits. In today's modern computerized society, these discussions no longer need to be confined to the classroom setting. This paper discusses students' reactions to the ...
