Use of Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands as Shear Reinforcement in Concrete Beams
(2017-12)
A new method of lateral shear reinforcement is investigated in which a reinforced concrete (RC) beam is transversely reinforced by Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands (ISSSBs), instead of conventional stirrups. The steel ...
A combined resource allocation framework for PEVs charging stations, renewable energy resources and distributed energy storage systems
(Elsevier, 2017)
The massive deployment of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), renewable energy resources (RES), and distributed energy storage systems (DESS) has gained significant interest under the smart grid vision. However, their special ...
Video Transmission over LTE-Unlicensed
(2017-11)
The witnessed proliferation in the demand on wireless spectrum over the past years is anticipated to lead to a bandwidth scarcity problem. The situation is further aggravated by the combined increase in the demand on the ...
Tunable CPW Ring Resonator-Based Bandpass Filters Utilizing RF MEMS Varactors
(2017-01)
Radio Frequency (RF) Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) switches are mostly used in many applications such as: tunable filters, phase shifters and oscillators because they offer wide bandwidth, low insertion loss, ...
Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal Activity of Xanthones Obtained via Semi-Synthetic Modification of α-Mangostin from Garcinia mangostana
(MDPI, 2017)
The microbial contamination in food packaging has been a major concern that has paved the way to search for novel, natural anti-microbial agents, such as modified α-mangostin. In the present study, twelve synthetic analogs ...
An auditing framework for knowledge-enabled supply chain management: Implications for sustainability
(MDPI, 2017)
Knowledge management (KM) plays a key role in the success of several enterprise systems, such as supply chain management (SCM). This paper discusses knowledge-enabled supply chain management (K-SCM) as it enhances the ...
Centralized Control Scheme for Energy Management in Smart Microgrids
(2017-04)
The development in smart grid technologies will authorize consumers to participate in the decision making of their electricity consumption. This participation in decision making is the called demand side management (DSM). ...
Subsonic Flow over a Thin Airfoil in Ground Effect: a Functional Analytic Approach
(2017-05)
In this work, the problem of subsonic compressible flow over a thin airfoil located near the ground is studied. A singular integral equation, also known as the Possio integral equation [29], that relates the pressure jump ...
Fault-Tolerant Network Topologies for Datacenters
(2017-05)
Data centers are an integral part of cloud computing infrastructure to support various cloud-based services such as web search, email, social networking, distributed file systems and scientific computing. Data centers ...
