Effect of Aggregate Type and Specimen Configuration on Concrete Compressive Strength
(2017-04)
Cement content, water-to-cement ratio (w/c), aggregate size and type, specimen size and shape, loading rate, and curing are some factors that affect the concrete compressive strength. This study focuses on the effect of ...
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 ...
Study of the Electromechanical Models for Cardiac Activity
(2017-05)
The mathematical modeling of the complex physical phenomena occurring in the heart is an area of increasing interest, as it facilitates the better understanding of relevant mechanisms driving the behavior of the system in ...
Semi-supervised Clustering of Facial Expressions
(2017-11)
Automated facial expressions recognition (FER) is an important area in computer vision and machine learning due to its eminent role in human-machine interaction. FER is key in building intelligent user interfaces, particularly ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
