A superconducting millimetre switch with multiple nano-bridges
(
International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we describe the design of a planar superconducting on/off switch comprising a high normal resistance nano-bridge deposited across a slotline transmission line. We present preliminary experimental results ...
THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT OF RECYCLE POLYPROPYLENE REINFORCED WITH WOOD AND GLASS FIBERS BY USING LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
(
Politecnico di Torino - Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Italy
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
In this paper investigates the environment impact for recycle polypropylene which reinforced
with natural wood fiber by extrusion. The purpose of this work was to reduce the
environmental impact for the new products by ...
Why Is That Relevant? Collecting Annotator Rationales for Relevance Judgments
(
AAAI Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
When collecting subjective human ratings of items, it can be difficult to measure and enforce data quality due to task subjectivity and lack of insight into how judges’ arrive at each rating decision. To address this, we ...
Comparative Study of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Modelling of Water-Gas Shift Reaction with Macro-or Micro-kinetics
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents critical studies on water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) kinetic models as well as the modelling approaches of the reactor, in which the reaction is conducted - the packed-bed tubular reactor (PBTR). There ...
Investigation of Weather Impacts on Pedestrian Volumes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This study investigates the impacts of temporal and weather characteristics on pedestrian volumes in a hot climate condition. A major neighborhood located in an urban area in Doha, Qatar was chosen as a case study site. ...
Optimizing multi-objective dynamic facility location decisions within green distribution network design
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Despite the surge of sustainable economic development which inspires corporations to optimize investment on environmental-friendly infrastructural facilities, limited pragmatic evidences are observed in product-service ...
Facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The ...
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Unsignalized marked crosswalks are problematic locations from pedestrians' safety perspective. Although the priority rule at such locations is clear; pedestrians have the absolute right of way over vehicles, driver often ...
Consideration of a Pedestrian Speed Change Model in the Pedestrian-Vehicle Safety Assessment of Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in the road network. Understanding the pedestrian maneuver is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that behaviors of pedestrians ...
Post fault operation of a dual matrix converter fed open-end load
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the fault tolerant control strategies for a three to five-phase dual matrix converter fed open-end load system. There are two three to five phase matrix converter at both the ends of the load. In ...
