Before 1850 Herman Melville was a fairly typical American male, in that he was rebellious and needed to earn money to live. He had left school early, and by the time he began work on Moby-Dick; or, The Whale he had been a ...
Driving behaviour and sustainable mobility-policies and approaches revisited
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Climate change is receiving increasing attention in recent years. The transportation sector contributes substantially to increased fuel consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and poor air quality, which imposes a ...
Robotic probe positioning system for structural health monitoring
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Structural health Monitoring (SHM) is a very critical component for sustainable civil and mechanical structures in modern urban settings. The sky-scrappers and huge bridges in modern metropolis today are essential aspects ...

ليس من المبالغةِ في شيء القولُ بتعذّر وجود مفهوم إنساني نال من الحظوة ما ناله مفهوم العولمة في شتى أصقاع العالم، ولاسيما في العقود الثلاثة الأخيرة؛ بآية الكمّ المتدفّق من الكتب والأبحاث التي صدرت عنه _ولا تزال_ بلغات العالم ...
Erosion behavior of API X120 steel: Effect of particle speed and impact angle
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The dry erosion behavior of API-X120 pipeline steel was investigated, under the erosive interaction of aluminum oxide particulates, in a range of speed (43-167 m·s-1) and impact angle (30°-90°). Erosion behavior is ...
Bootstrap-Based Quality Metric for Scarce Sensing Systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper considers Mobile Crowd-Sensing (MCS) systems that suffer from scarce participant availability due to small sample sizes in each sensing cycle. With such small sample sizes, a sample in error would dramatically ...
Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) Imaging of Cerebral Ischemia: Combined Analysis of Rat Brain Thin Cuts Toward Improved Tissue Classification
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Microspectroscopic techniques are widely used to complement histological studies. Due to recent developments in the field of chemical imaging, combined chemical analysis has become attractive. This technique facilitates a ...
Investigation on the effect of γ-irradiation on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of stretchable PVDF/Fe–ZnO nanocomposites for self-powering devices
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Stretchable films of PVDF nanocomposites containing iron doped ZnO (Fe-ZnO) nanoflowers are fabricated following simple solution mixing and ?-irradiation treatment. An increase in ?-phase crystallinity is noticed for the ...
A Real Case-Based Study Exploring Influence of Human Age and Gender on Drivers’ Behavior and Traffic Safety
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The demand for understanding the functional relationship between changes in traffic safety level and human-related factors has increased remarkably due to a steady increase in population and traffic volume. Motor vehicle ...
Towards sustainable society: Design of food waste recycling machine
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of per capita food waste; which ranges from 584 to 657 kilograms per year. The combination of high food consumption rate and very low food waste recycle rate, ...
