A model and optimization-based heuristic for the operational aircraft maintenance routing problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper investigates the Operational Aircraft Maintenance Routing Problem (OAMRP). Given a set of flights for a specific homogeneous fleet type, this short-term planning problem requires building feasible aircraft routes ...
Assessment of the taxi service in Doha
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This research focuses on passengers' satisfaction of the taxi service in Doha, Qatar. Qatar is a rich developing country where taxis are widely considered as a public transportation service due to the limited use of the ...
A practical solution approach for the green vehicle routing problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Green vehicle routing (GVRP) is an active research area that is concerned with the development and analysis of distribution activities with eco-friendly vehicles. We propose a practical solution approach for the GVRP that ...
Elastic properties of chiral, anti-chiral, and hierarchical honeycombs: A simple energy-based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of two geometric refinement strategies widespread in natural structures, chirality and self-similar hierarchy, on the in-plane elastic response of two-dimensional honeycombs were studied systematically. Simple ...
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis for fouling suppression in submerged membranes bioreactors: Impact of insulators shape and dimensions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The application of insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) has the potential to enhance membrane fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors without extra energy consumption. In this study, the effect of the ...
Robust estimation of highly-varying nonlinear instantaneous frequency of monocomponent signals using a lower-order complex-time distribution
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2013 , Article)
This paper proposes an approach for robust estimation of highly-varying nonlinear instantaneous frequency (IF) in monocomponent nonstationary signals. The proposed method is based on a lower order complex-time distribution ...
Single- and multi-source battery-less power management circuits for piezoelectric energy harvesting systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents a battery-less power management unit for piezoelectric energy harvesting which exploits a diode-based rectifier, a storage capacitor, and a custom trigger circuit to extract energy from a piezoelectric ...
Large-scale simulations and performance evaluation of connected cars - A V2V communication perspective
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Performance evaluation is integral to the vast majority of research on Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) technology enabled connected cars. To validate ideas and concepts, researchers have been continuously striving towards the ...
Non-standard characteristic of overcurrent relay for minimum operating time and maximum protection level
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Industrial overcurrent relays such as MiCOM P123 (overcurrent and earth fault protection relay) often offer three individual options for separate settings. These settings can be separately tuned and such ability can be ...
Effect of humidity on the electrical properties of the silver polyaniline/polyvinyl alcohol nanocomposites
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Polymer-metal nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical, optical, electrical, dielectric, and antimicrobial properties are currently in high demand for many industrial applications. Here, we study and present the effect of ...
