The effect of electro spinning parameters on polystyrene nano fiber morphology: Oil-water separation
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
This manuscript reports optimized conditions necessary to prepare electro-spun nano fibers and microfibers using two different forms of polystyrene (PS) in dimethylformamide (DMF). We conducted a systematic and methodical ...
Drill string nonlinear vibrations: Experimental studies and finite-element analysis
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present work, nonlinear vibrations of drill strings are studied. A laboratory scale arrangement consisting of a flexible rod with rotor-stator system is used to study the system dynamics. A finite-element model has ...
A boundary integral method for the general conjugation problem in multiply connected circle domains
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
We present a boundary integral method for solving a certain class of Riemann-Hilbert problems known as the general conjugation problem. The method is based on a uniquely solvable boundary integral equation with the generalized ...
Thresholds optimization for one-bit feedback multi-user scheduling
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
We propose a new one-bit feedback scheme with scheduling decision based on the maximum expected weighted rate. We show the concavity of the 2-user case and provide the optimal solution which achieves the maximum weighted ...
A systematic investigation of the bio-toxicity of core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres using zebrafish model
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract In this work, shearing interface coassembly in biliquid phase systems is employed to synthesize biocompatible core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres with uniform size of about 600 nm, perpendicular ...
Leveraging “Green” Human Resource Practices to Enable Environmental and Organizational Performance: Evidence from the Qatari Oil and Gas Industry
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Despite the theoretically important role of green human resource management (HRM), relatively little research has been discovered so far about this role particularly in the Oil and Gas industry. We contribute to fill this ...
Energy allocation optimization for AF multi-hop in a cognitive radio system
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, novel optimal energy allocation schemes for the secondary users in an amplify-and-forward multi-hop underlay cognitive network are proposed. The optimization problem is formulated as a maximization of the ...
Embedded Platform for Gas Applications Using Hardware/Software Co-Design and RFID
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper presents the development of a wireless low power reconfigurable self-calibrated multi-sensing platform for gas sensing applications. The proposed electronic nose (EN) system monitors gas temperatures, concentrations, ...
Impact of missense mutations in survival motor neuron protein (SMN1) leading to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA): A computational approach.
(
Springer US
, 2018 , Article)
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by the mutations in survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1). The molecular pathology of missense mutations in SMN1 is not thoroughly investigated so far. Therefore, ...
Adsorption equilibrium studies of CO2, CH4 and N2 on various modified zeolites at high pressures up to 200 bars
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Power generation industries are mostly built on integrated gasification combine cycle (IGCC) which uses high pressure system to turn fossil fuels into pressurized gas i.e. synthesis gas (syngas) which in turn produce energy ...
