Dual fuel engines of the compression ignition type provide an alternative approach for I.C. engines to improve economy, reduce exhaust emissions and achieve a greater power. The present contribution is an experimental ...

In this paper, we propose a new ultra-wideband (UWB)-based simultaneous localization and wall-mapping (SLAM) system, which adopts two-way ranging optimization on UWB anchor and tag nodes to track the target's real-time ...

Waste cooking oil biodiesel is considered a common way to generate clean energy in all countries. It can be used efficiently, like fossil fuel quality. To overcome the problem of poor combustion, an increase in the NOx and ...

This paper addresses both the experimental and simulation studies on the application of overcurrent protective relay. The industrial overcurrent relays often have three individual settings. In this paper, the relay operating ...

Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures subjected to severe environments is a big challenge and requires huge repair and maintenance costs. Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement with its ...

Ground vibration and ground-borne noise from trains in tunnels are attracting increasing attention from researchers and engineers. They are important environmental issues related with the operation of underground networks ...

This project focuses on the retrofitting of concrete bridge piers. In the first phase of the project, a half-scale bridge bent was designed and experimentally tested in the Idaho State University (ISU) Structural Lab (SLAB) ...

Two imidazopyridine derivatives 6-chloro-2-(4-chlorophenyl) imidazo [1,2-a]pyridine (IPCl1) and 6-chloro-2-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carbal-dehyde (IPCl2) were investigated as corrosion inhibitors of mild ...

Expert systems mimic the problem-solving activity of human experts in specialized domains by capturing and representing expert knowledge. Expert systems include a knowledge base, an inference engine that derives conclusions ...
