Natural fault tolerance in the context of a goal oriented software design
(2013 , Conference Paper)
A particular goal oriented software design is proposed in this paper: by checking the preservation of critical information, an original proposed program structure has the important property to naturally recover transient ...
Design of thin wall structures for energy absorption applications: Enhancement of crashworthiness due to axial and oblique impact forces
(2013 , Article)
This paper describes a computationally aided design process of a thin wall structure subject to dynamic compression in both axial and oblique directions. Several different cross sectional shapes of thin walled structures ...
Finite element modelling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This research aims at creating precise finite element models for FRP shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behaviour of the shear strengthened beams requires ...
Corrosion of inhibitor treated mild steel immersed in distilled water and a simulated salt solution
(2013 , Article)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the performances of three inhibitors in controlling corrosion of local mild steel products in distilled water and a simulated salt solution. Corrosion inhibition of mild steel ...
Effects of environmental and climatic conditions on PV efficiency in qatar
(
European Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ)
, 2013 , Article)
The sensitivity of various solar photovoltaic technologies towards dust, temperature and relative humidity is investigated for Qatar’s environment. Results obtained show that dust accumulation has the great effect on ...
Civic life and democratic citizenship in Qatar: Findings from the First Qatar World Values Survey
(
Brill Academic
, 2013 , Article)
The present study examines the Arab nation that has remained least affected by the regional upheaval that has gripped much of the Middle East and North Africa since the beginning of 2011: the Gulf state of Qatar. Using ...
A Portrait of Low-Income Migrants in Contemporary Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2013 , Article)
Though transnational labor migration in the Gulf States has increasingly been of
scholarly interest, that scholarship has to date relied largely on qualitative ethnographic
methodologies or small non-representative ...
High pressure CO2 absorption studies on imidazolium-based ionic liquids: Experimental and simulation approaches
(2013 , Article)
A combined experimental-computational study on the CO2 absorption on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluophosphate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]imide, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ...
Highly stable nanoporous sulfur-bridged covalent organic polymers for carbon dioxide removal
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Carbon dioxide capture and separation requires robust solids that can stand harsh environments where a hot mixture of gases is often found. Herein, the first and comprehensive syntheses of porous sulfur-bridged covalent ...
Limitations and high pressure behavior of MOF-5 for CO2 capture
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2013 , Article)
Porous network structures (e.g. metal–organic frameworks, MOFs) show considerable potential in dethroning monoethanol amine (MEA) from being the dominant scrubber for CO2 at the fossil-fuel-burning power generators. In ...
