Harvesting Human Body Energy for Bioelectronic Applications: A Focus on Piezoelectric Nanogenerators
(
Qatar University Young Scientists Center - Qatar University
, 2024 , Conference Paper)
This research explores the potential of harnessing and converting untapped energy from the human body into electricity to power bioelectronic devices. Focusing on piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) and triboelectric ...
Evaluation of Transit Signal Priority Implementation for Bus Transit along a Major Arterial Using Microsimulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Transit Signal Priority (TSP) provides preferential treatment for public transit vehicles at signalized intersections when implemented. TSP is usually provided by interrupting the typical signal timings and extending the ...
Investigation of Weather Impacts on Pedestrian Volumes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This study investigates the impacts of temporal and weather characteristics on pedestrian volumes in a hot climate condition. A major neighborhood located in an urban area in Doha, Qatar was chosen as a case study site. ...
Optimizing multi-objective dynamic facility location decisions within green distribution network design
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Despite the surge of sustainable economic development which inspires corporations to optimize investment on environmental-friendly infrastructural facilities, limited pragmatic evidences are observed in product-service ...
Facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The ...

As the lightest constructional metal on earth, magnesium alloys offer excellent potential for weight reduction in the transportation industry and it was observed that some magnesium alloys exhibit superior ductility and ...
Ion beam modification of surface properties of polyethylene
(
Elsevier
, 2003 , Conference Paper)
Improvement of polymer tribological properties is an essential issue for their application when used as parts of machines or artificial human joints. Ion implantation is a very promising technique in this respect. This ...
Mechanical and thermal properties of gamma-ray irradiated polyethylene blends
(
Elsevier
, 2003 , Conference Paper)
In this work, the results obtained by gamma-ray irradiation of polyethylene (PE) blends are presented. The blends were produced by injection molding at 220°C with different compositional ratios, i.e. 100/0, 15/85, 25/75, ...
Compositional transformations in ion implanted polymers
(
Elsevier
, 2005 , Conference Paper)
Changes of surface layer composition produced by ion bombardment of polyethylene and polypropylene samples were studied. These materials are under consideration for load bearing surfaces in biological and technical ...
