Application of Tools of Quality Function Deployment and Modified Balanced Scorecard for Optimal Allocation of Pavement Management Resources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2020 , Article)
Pavement management is a set of tools used to evaluate and maintain pavements so that the pavements can be used safely and effectively over a certain period. Many traditional methods were and are still being used by entities ...
Optimal piezoelectric shunt dampers for non-deterministic substructure vibration control: estimation and parametric investigation
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Piezoelectric (PZT) shunt damping is an effective method to dissipate energy from a vibrating structure; however, most of the applications focus on targeting specific modes for structures vibrating at low-frequency range, ...
Thermoeconomic and optimization analyses of direct oxy-combustion supercritical carbon dioxide power cycles with dry and wet cooling
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Oxy-combustion supercritical CO2 power cycles have the advantages of high-energy efficiency and near-zero pollutant emissions. Thus, these cycles are considered as an efficient way to reduce CO2 emissions while maintaining ...
Energy and exergy analyses of novel supercritical CO2 Brayton cycles driven by direct oxy-fuel combustor
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study addresses major research gaps related to supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power cycles including the shortcomings due to adding extra components, the high operating temperatures and the lack of studies on ...
Rupture of an industrial gfrp composite mitered elbow pipe
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
This paper examines the immature rupture of glass fiber reinforced plastic composite (GFRP) mitered elbow pipes. The GFRP composite mitered elbow pipe’s lifespan was twenty-five years; however, the pipes in question ...
The dynamics of negative stereotypes as revealed by tweeting behavior in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
We describe the evolution of a stereotype as it emerged in tweets about the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in Paris in early 2015. Our focus is on terms associated with the Muslim community and the Islamic world. The data ...
Investigating the impact of electronic health record on healthcare professionals
(
Growing Science
, 2021 , Article)
Although there is a significant influence of implementing the electronic health records (EHR) system in Qatar, there are very limited studies reviewed and analyzed the influence of implementing the EHR system on healthcare ...
Industrial waste utilization of carbon dust in sustainable cementitious composites production
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2020 , Article)
This paper experimentally investigates the effect of utilization of carbon dust generated as an industrial waste from aluminum factories in cementitious composites production. Carbon dust is collected, characterized, and ...
Review of innovative approaches of thermo-mechanical refrigeration systems using low grade heat
(
Hindawi
, 2020 , Article)
Cooling and refrigeration systems consume around 17% of the world-wide electricity. Enhancing the performance of these systems, using renewable energy resources and waste heat recovered from industrial processes, will lead ...
Synergetic effects of dodecylamine-functionalized graphene oxide nanoparticles on antifouling and antibacterial properties of polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The potential use of dodecylamine-functionalized graphene oxide (rGO-DDA) nanoparticles as an antifoulant and antibacterial nanofiller was investigated. GO and rGO-DDA were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM, ...
