Chromium doped ceria for solar thermochemical fuel production
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the thermal reduction and CO2splitting ability of Ce0.9Cr0.102-δare investigated by performing multiple thermochemical cycles using a thermogravimetric analyzer. The Ce0.9Cr0.102-δmaterial is successfully ...
A new approach for predicting the shear capacity of FRCM strengthened RC beams in shear
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In spite of the availability of different models proposed to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear using fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) system, accurately predicting ...
Effect of Pavement Surface Aging on Tire-Pavement Noise: A Case Study in the State of Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The acoustical performance of asphalt pavements changes with time due to combined effects of environmental conditions and various distresses induced by repeated and heavy traffic. This study examined the changes in the ...
Effectiveness of frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear using hybrid nse/eb technique
(
ISEC Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid "near surface embedded/ externally bonded" NSE/EB fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Seven medium scale RC beams, deficient ...
New inverting modified CUK converter configurations with switched inductor (MCCSI) for high-voltage/low-current renewable applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Inverting Modified CUK Converter with Switched Inductor (MCCSI) configurations are articulated in the paper for high-voltage and low-current renewable energy applications. Based on the Switched Inductor (SI) position in ...
The need for a global response against cybercrime: Qatar as a case study
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Cybersecurity is one of the most significant concerns of life in the 21st century and safeguarding information systems is an arduous task for governments and companies across the globe. The tremendous growth in wireless ...
A Simple Approach for Securing IoT Data Transmitted over Multi-RATs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In an mHealth remote patient monitoring scenario, usually control units/data aggregators receive data from the body area network (BAN) sensors then send it to the network or 'cloud'. The control unit would have to transmit ...
Pareto-front analysis of a monotonie PI control law for slip suppression in a robotic manipulator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel slip-suppression controller for a two-fingered robotic manipulator, where the goal is to minimize the slip distance without using excessive force. To do this, we consider monotonic PI (MPI) ...
Cost-efficient Multi-tasking in Coverage-aware Mobile Crowd Sensing
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS), task assignment and user selection to minimize the total incentive cost is a crucial issue that has received a lot of attention recently. Previous works studied incentive techniques for ...
Play, learn and eat healthy food: A mobile game for children to fight obesity
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Obesity amongst children and youth is one of the major health issue in the state of Qatar. The percentage of obese and overweight people exceeds 40 percent. Many children are going to school without taking their breakfast. ...
