Passive pre-cooling potential for reducing building air-conditioning loads in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
A major source of energy consumption in the building sector is the extensive use of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to meet the rising demands for indoor comfort. Advancements in reducing cooling ...
A multi-sensing reconfigurable platform for gas applications
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The production of hazardous gases due to different physicochemical reactions in gas industries have raised the need of autonomous sensor tag. However the adaptation of remotely controlled sensor tag is still suffering with ...
Simulation study of Schottky contact based single Si wire solar cell
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We model single silicon nanowire (SiNW) solar cells with dissimilar work function metal contacts. Both short circuit current (ISC) and open circuit voltage (VOC) have been investigated. Effects of nanowire dimension, ...
Performance analysis of general order selection in decentralized cognitive radio networks
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider an underlay secondary network comprising of K transmitter-receiver pairs sharing the spectrum of a primary network, which is divided into n non-overlapping frequency bands (subchannels). Each ...
Traffic engineering in cloud data centers: A column generation approach
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
While many have advocated for the use of Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) as a way to provide scalable traffic management, finding the optimal traffic split (mapping) among VLANs to achieve load balancing has turned out ...
Sub-channels selection schemes with interference management for underlay cognitive networks
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Cognitive Radio is a promising concept that offers solution to spectral crowding problem by introducing opportunistic usage of the unoccupied licensed frequency bands. Improving the network capacity and reliability of the ...
Fuzzy mapping of human heuristics for defect classification in gas pipelines using ultrasonic NDE
(
IEEE
, 2007 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a methodology for classifying the common defects in steel pipelines for transporting petroleum and gas. Usually, the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) experts in the industry judges the defect type by ...
ePBL: Design and implementation of a Problem-based Learning environment
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Problem-based Learning (PBL) has been utilized by educators for almost half a century as a powerful and engaging student-centered pedagogy. PBL has also been employed across a wide range of disciplines and areas in education ...
Bridging a gulf between environmental attitudes and behavior: Assessment of motivating factors for the youth in Qatar
(
HBKU Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
To this day, there is a dearth of published research on environmental awareness, attitudes and behaviour
in the Arabian Gulf, and there is no systematic data regarding the value people place on the environment.
Understanding ...
Comprehensive Studio, Architectural Accreditation, Cultural Diversity: Considering Conditions, Respecting Context and Pursuing Competence
(2016 , Conference Paper)
Architectural education is an increasingly complex endeavor, with the development of knowledge and building of skills aimed at global and local conditions in a state of constant flux. With architecture holding ...
