Characterization of GRE pipes fatigue failure subjected to HTHP loading conditions
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
GRE composite pipes are a great substitute for Carbon steel, however, obstacles of introducing GRE composite pipes into oil and gas transmission lines have been primarily related to inadequate testing data to maintain ...
Minimizing wind erosion using microbial induced carbonate precipitation
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This research focuses on investigating the effectiveness of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to reduce the potential for wind erosion. This paper summarizes the results of preliminary wind tunnel experiments. ...
Students Perceptions in a Flipped Computer Programming Course
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Flipped classroom pedagogy have gained attention in recent years. This paper reports our study on the attitudes of students towards flipped classroom in introductory programming. Surveys were used to measure the perception ...
Comparing eurocode 2 prestress loss estimations to strains measured on a pretensioned bridge beam
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The implementation of Eurocode 2 (EC2) for the design of concrete structures in South Africa in the near future is pending and necessitates refined understanding of EC2’s prediction models; including prestress losses and ...
Multi-modal data semantic localization with relationship dependencies for efficient signal processing in EH CRNs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Due to spectrum scarcity and energy consumption caused by processing and transmitting multimodal data signals in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), locating key information in the signal for further energy management in EH ...
Intelligent glove for suppression of resting tremor in Parkinson’s disease
(
JVE International
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
One of the significant symptoms in Parkinson’s disease is resting tremor. Resting tremor occurs when the muscle is relaxed, causing the limb to shake. Rhythmic muscle movement of the patients commonly happens within the ...
A Methodology for daylight optimisation of high-rise buildings in the dense urban district using overhang length and glazing type variables with surrogate modelling
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Urbanization and population growth lead to the construction of higher buildings in the 21st century. This causes an increment on energy consumption as the amount of constructed floor areas is rising steadily. Integrating ...

Association for Computing Machinery
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
As a decentralized cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has been in market for around a decade. Bitcoin transactions are thought to be pseudoanonymous, however, there were many attempts to deanonymize these transactions making use of ...
Reusable garbled turing machines without FHE
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Since Yao introduced the garbled circuit concept in 1980s, it has been an open problem to design efficient reusable garbled Turing machines/circuits. Recently, Goldwasser et al. and Garg et al. answered this question ...
Database Facilitated Screening with NMR Spectroscopy Analysis for Drug Detection
(
IEEE
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
© 2019 IEEE. Drug detection plays the key role in the enforcement of drug regulations. Various detection methods for them are thus developed. However, in most investigations, the most time-consuming and tedious part is not ...
