Modeling Strategies of Finite Element Simulation of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP: A Review
(MDPI, 2021)Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites do not only possess superior mechanical properties, but can also be easy to tailor, install, and maintain. As such, FRPs offer novel and attractive solutions to facilitate strengthening ... -
Modeling the Effects of Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy on Tumor Growth
(American Scientific Publishers, 2021)Mathematical modeling has been used to simulate the interaction of chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs intervention with the dynamics of tumor cells growth. This work studies the interaction of cells in the immune system, ... -
Modeling the fire response of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP beams
(International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures, 2016)In the last two decades, researchers and engineers studied the possibility of reinforcing slabs and beams with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars instead of the conventionally used steel reinforcement. Such FRP bars have ... -
Monitoring Bone Density Using Microwave Tomography of Human Legs: A Numerical Feasibility Study
(MDPI, 2021-10-26)A major cause of bone mass loss worldwide is osteoporosis. X-ray is considered to be the gold-standard technique to diagnose this disease. However, there is currently a need for an alternative modality due to the ionizing ... -
Motion-Based Gait Recognition for Recognizing People in Traditional Gulf Clothing
(IEEE, 2019)Gait recognition is gaining popularity as it can recognize people in a non-intrusive and a non-contact manner. However, gait recognition is known for its susceptibility to clothing conditions. In this paper, we propose a ... -
MPEG-2 to HEVC Video Transcoding With Content-Based Modeling
(IEEE, 2013)This paper proposes an efficient MPEG-2 to HEVC video transcoder. The objective of the transcoder is to migrate the abundant MPEG-2 video content to the emerging HEVC video coding standard. The transcoder introduces a ... -
Multi-Model Investigation and Adaptive Estimation of the Acoustic Release of a Model Drug From Liposomes
(IEEE, 2019)This paper researches a suitable mathematical model that can reliably predict the release of a model drug (namely calcein) from biologically targeted liposomal nanocarriers triggered by ultrasound. Using mathematical models, ... -
A Multi-Objective Allocation Approach for Power Quality Monitoring Devices
(IEEE Xplore Digital Library, 2019)With the inception of smart grids and the increased integration of renewable resources, the continuous monitoring of power systems becomes increasingly important to monitor power quality (PQ) and speed up the localization ... -
A multi-objective planning approach for optimal DG allocation for droop based microgrids
(Elsevier, 2021-11)This paper proposes a multi-objective planning approach to determine the optimal DG locations for droop-based microgrids. A secondary control operating region is mathematically formulated and incor-porated in the multi-objective ... -
Multifunctional Nanovehicles for Combined 5-Fluorouracil and Gold Nanoparticles Based on the Nanoprecipitation Method
(American Scientific Publishers, 2011)To facilitate the administration of combined 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and gold nanoparticles (for photothermal treatment purposes), we developed 5-FU-gold-poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (5-FU-Au- PLGA) nanovehicles, via the ... -
Multilayer Transcoding with format portability for multicasting of single-layered video
(IEEE, 2005)This paper proposes a novel multilayer video transcoding approach for multicasting pre-encoded video to heterogeneous end-systems via diverse grouping of networks. Multilayer transcoding is first addressed by means of ... -
Multiple Proposals for Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition
(Springer, 2019)The deaf community relies on sign language as the primary means of communication. For the millions of people around the world who suffer from hearing loss, interaction with hearing people is quite difficult. The main ... -
A Multistage Passive Islanding Detection Method for Synchronous-Based Distributed Generation
(IEEE, 2021-03)A multistage approach to passive islanding detection is proposed that utilizes a decision tree (DT) like classification algorithm. The novelty of the proposed method is centered on the way in which features are passed to ... -
