An Investigation of Parking Problems and Alternatives at the American University of Sharjah
(2007-05)
This paper investigates parking and transportation challenges at the American University of Sharjah in response to regional and campus growth. A parking inventory was conducted in early 2007, including characteristics of ...
Lateral Earth Pressure on Non-Yielding Walls Supporting Over-Consolidated Sand
(2013-07)
The most important problem associated with retaining wall structures is the additional compaction-induced lateral earth pressure. Currently, none of the available design methods used to calculate the lateral earth force ...
Optimal Routing Protocol in Multimedia Wireless Sensor Networks
(2011-01)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have attracted research interest in recent years due to the significance of the field of applications and the advances in sensor technology. In areas where catastrophic events occur such as ...
CFD Based Airfoil Shape Optimization for Aerodynamic Drag Reduction
(2012-05)
Commercial airplanes generally follow specific flight profiles consisting of take-off, climb, cruise, descend and landing. These flight profiles essentially change the freestream conditions in which the aircrafts operate. ...
A Framework for Predictive Modeling in Sustainable Projects
(2012-05)
Project management systems typically target the completion of a project within budget, on time, and fulfilling stakeholders' expectations and environmental needs from the project. The aim becomes harder to achieve when ...
