An LP model for optimizing a supply chain management system for steel company
(
Newswood Limited
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this research, we have developed a linear programming formulation to describe Qatar steel manufacturing supply chain from suppliers to consumers. The purpose of the model is to provide answers regarding the optimal ...
A framework for optimizing the supply chain performance of a steel producer
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is focused on developing, optimizing, and operating efficient supply chains. Efficient supply chains are characterized by cost effective decisions, lean flow and structure, high degree of ...
An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
Melt Processing and Properties of Polyamide 6/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composites
(
ICCCM
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the processing and characterization of Polyamide 6 (PA6) / graphite nanoplatelets
(GNPs) composites is reported. PA6/GNPs composites were prepared by melt-mixing using an
industrial, co-rotating, intermeshing, ...
Urban morphology and microclimate response - Overview and case study
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The aim of this study is to investigate the urban morphological factors that influence urban microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort in hot semi-arid climate. It explores the main features that influence the urban climate ...
A high efficiency and high reliability single-phase modified quasi Z-Source inverter for non-isolated grid-connected applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Quazi Z-Source inverter (qZSI) is a promising inverter topology that can buck or boost input voltage without a DC-DC converter and hence can be used in transformerless configuration. This is a high efficiency solution ...
Bayesian network and response surface methodology for prediction and improvement of bacterial metabolite production
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The optimization of antifungal activity production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in two steps. The first step involved the screening of cultural parameters affecting ...
A mixed space-time and wavenumber domain model for predicting ground vibration from railway tracks
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a mixed model for studying ground vibration generated from surface railway tracks is presented. A ballasted track with nonlinear resilient components is modelled in the time domain using the Finite Element ...
The PiP model and progress in ground vibration from railways
(
Australian Acoustical Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration in the ground causes problems. At large amplitude vibration causes damage, the most obvious example being earthquake damage. But the ground motion in a damaging earthquake is typically low-frequency (below 1Hz) ...
