Development and Mechanical Performance of Sustainable Geopolymer Concrete
(2016-05)
Concrete production has always been a main source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These emissions come mainly from Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), which releases an average of 0.83 tons of CO2 /t. Researchers have been ...
Preparation of albumin-targeted liposomes and the study of their release characteristics using ultrasound
(2016-01)
The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the enhancement of drug delivery using targeted liposomes triggered by ultrasound. In this thesis, a thorough literature review on cancer and drug delivery systems ...
Effect of Concrete Type on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with HSS Bars
(2016-03)
High-Strength Steel (HSS) bars can be a promising alternative to commonly used mild steel since they have the potential of making more efficient use of highperformance concrete and reducing the required number and size of ...
Total Damages Quantification Method for Float Allocation
(2016-07)
Construction projects involve several contracting parties such as clients, contractors, consultants and many others. These contracting parties tend to use the float of noncritical activities for their own benefits, such ...
Finite Element-Based Parametric Analysis of Mat Foundations
(2016-04)
Raft or mat foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab covering the entire contact area of the structure and supporting heavy loads from superstructure to a large area of soil. This type of foundation is employed in ...
Evaluating the Structural Performance and Durability of CNT and Polyethylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(2016-11)
Concrete, despite being one of the most produced materials in the world, still has weaknesses and drawbacks. The major concern of cementitious materials in structural applications is their quasi-brittle behavior, which ...
Power Characteristics of Selective Buried Oxide MOSFET
(2016-01)
Power dissipation is an important factor in electronic circuit design due to the decreasing feature size of microelectronic devices, high clock frequencies, and large die size, as well as the growing number of mobile, ...
Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Ultrasound.
(2016-05)
Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Although billions of dollars have been spent on cancer research to develop its treatments, cancer still remains a major illness for mankind, partly due to the ...
Estimating the Transformer Health Index Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques
(2016-06)
Transformer Asset Management (TAM) is concerned with the strategic activities that monitor and manage the transformer asset in the power system. The outcomes of TAM aim at setting proper monitoring methods and maintenance ...
Autonomous Demand-Side Management in the Future Smart Grid
(2016-11)
Group Autonomous Demand-Side Management (ADSM) programs provide practical mechanisms to coordinate energy consumption to achieve smart grid-wide objectives, such as reducing the energy cost, reducing the Peak-to-Average ...
