Bridge Structural Health Monitoring Using Mobile Sensor Networks
(2022-12)Vehicles moving along a bridge will dynamically interact with the bridge's vibrations. An acceleration sensor on the vehicle can record these vibrations’ signals resulting from different sources of interaction, namely, the ... -
Buckling of Inhomogeneous and Functionally Graded Columns
(2014-07)Buckling is an instability encountered in a wide variety of problems, both in engineering and biology. Almost all engineering structures are designed with adequate safety factors to prevent failure due to buckling, yielding, ... -
Buckling of Pretwisted Steel Columns
(2015-01)Buckling is a mode of failure that is mainly observed in compression members due to structural instability. Inducing a natural pretwist along the length of a column section makes the column have a different resistance at ... -
Building A Passive Thermal Management System Using Phase Change Material Embedded In Porous Media
(2021-12)This work aims to investigate the heat transfer effectiveness of different phase change materials (PCMs) when infused in plate-based heatsinks with a fixed volume fraction of thermal conductivity enhancer (TCE). Moreover, ... -
The Building Blocks of Business Contracts’ Recitals: A Corpus-Induced Approach to Assessing Homogeneity
(2022-12)By following a bottom-up approach based on principles of induction, the current study aims to provide the most typical lexical units of the provisional element of recitals in business contracts. In doing so, a novel ... -
Business Process Re-engineering Strategies for United Arab Emirates’ Public Organizations
(2022-04)Organizations in general, and public in specific, are striving to achieve excellence in their performance and gain a competitive edge through process improvement. However, the need for process restructuring is inevitable ... -
Cargo Delivery Box System for modeling the Last mile of Business to Consumer Logistics
(2019-02)The current business trends suggest that the e-commerce business in the UAE is increasing rapidly, which means that the supply chain facilities must be improved to sustain efficiency and profitability. The last mile is ... -
CEFR in UAE Public Schools: Pedagogical Impacts
(2017-01)The Ministry of Education (MOE) in Dubai used the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) to develop the English Curriculum Framework (ECF) in 2011 - a framework that was piloted in 39 Madares Al Ghad (MAG) Schools ... -
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). ... -
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. ... -
CFD Modeling of Biomass Thermal Conversion in A Novel Solar-Thermal Reactor
(2020-05)The excessive utilization of fossil fuels during the past five decades resulted in a gradualdepletion of reserves and caused a serious negative impact on the environment, such as air pollution, climate change and acid rain. ... -
CFD Study of Particle Concentration and Stokes Number Effect on Erosion Profile.
(2017-04)A very common problem that continuously faces industrial applications involving fluid flow is solid particle erosion. This type of erosion is caused when solid particles carried by a fluid flow continuously impact a surface ... -
Characterization and Modeling of Damage in Steel at Different Strain Rates
(2011-01)The structural behavior of steel, as many structural materials, changes during deformation processes under complex mechanical loadings. The damage process may start at some point in the deformation process in the form of ... -
Characterizing the Acoustic Behavior of Hexagonal Periodic Cellular Cores
(2020-12)Cellular solid cores are used in composite sandwich structures due to their high stiffness to weight ratio. However, owing to their porosity, they are inherently weak and are susceptible to damage due to improper loadings. ... -
Cheating by Students in English Tests in Private Schools in the UAE: Cheating Techniques and Teacher/Administrator Responses
(2009-12)Cheating has recently become an increasingly discussed problem in the field of academia. It is a common behavior of some students at schools, which concerns ESL/EFL teachers in educational settings. Cheating has developed ... -
