Membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment: A review
(Elsevier, 2021)
Due to the growth in the human population globally, it is noted that various industries have also grown. The need for an excess supply of water and the generation of high effluent quality upon proper treatment technologies ...
Cognitive Vigilance Enhancement using Audio Stimulation of Pure Tone at 250 Hz
(IEEE Access, 2021)
In this paper, we propose a novel vigilance enhancement method based on audio stimulation of pure tone at 250 Hz. We induced two different levels of vigilance state; vigilance decrement (VD) and vigilance enhancement (VE). ...
Attitudes towards climate change and energy sources in oil exporters
(Elsevier, 2021)
Switching to energy mixes that use more non-fossil fuels is critical to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate change. Climate change poses a major challenge to oil exporting Gulf countries, like the rest of the ...
A Comparative Study of Energy Performance in Educational Buildings in the UAE
(UTS ePRESS, 2021)
Sustainability has gained popularity and importance around the globe due to the ever-increasing effects of climate change and global warming on Earth. As of the 21st century, human endeavour has caused an enormous amount ...
The Impact of Technology on Regional Price Dispersion in the US
(VGTU, 2021)
We analyze the behavior of inflation in the era of fast pace information thanks to technological advances, especially internet. Owing to readily available information, prices/inflation should quickly converge under perfect ...
Characterization of heavy vehicle headways in oversaturated interrupted conditions: Towards development of passenger car equivalency factors
(Elsevier, 2021)
Passenger car equivalency (PCE) of heavy trucks is often studied using filed observation and microscopic simulation models, especially for signalized intersections. While the Highway Capacity Manual recommends a single ...
FE modeling of concrete beams and columns reinforced with FRP composites
(Elsevier, 2021)
Compression and flexure members such as columns and beams are critical in a structure as its failure could lead to the collapse of the structure. In the present work, numerical analysis of square and circle short columns, ...
Evaluating velocity and temperature fields for Ranque Hilsch vortex tube using numerical simulation
(Elsevier, 2021)
In this study, a three-dimensional numerical investigation is carried out to study the flow field inside a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (RHVT) model. Flow parameters such as velocity, temperature, and pressure are plotted at ...
Maximum-Service Channel Assignment in Vehicular Radar-Communication
(IEEE Access, 2021)
Spectrum sharing between different technologies has become a necessity as the RF spectrum has become more congested than ever due to the increasing number of connected devices and applications all wishing to access the ...
A Holistic Intersection Rating System (HIRS)—A Novel Methodology to Measure the Holistic Operational Performance of Signalized Urban Intersections
(MDPI, 2021)
Signalized urban intersections are key components of urban transportation networks. They are traditionally viewed and designed as primarily motorized traffic facilities, and thus their physical and operational designs have ...
