Engaging Engineering Students in Active Learning and Critical Thinking through Class Debates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Within the program of engineering, typically there are courses that are heavily dependent on mathematics and derivations of fundamental concepts. A lot of active learning can be done in these classes by using the engineering ...
Self-organized TiO2 nanotube layer on Ti–6Al–7Nb for biomedical application
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a self-organized nanotube TiO2 layer on Ti–6Al–7Nb was fabricated. The influence of acidic electrolytes including glycerol (G) and ethylene glycol (EG) on the anodization, microstructural features and ...
Constitutive analysis for the quantification of hardness decay in a superlattice CrN/NbN hard-coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a constitutive analysis of the evolution of the mechanical response of a CrN/NbN superlattice coating exposed to high temperature has been performed. Parametric approaches were used to obtain a single ...
Axial crushing behavior and energy absorption efficiency of corrugated tubes
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Technical Report)
This paper presents the effect of corrugations on the crushing behavior, energy absorption, and failure mode of circular aluminum tubes. Experimental investigations were carried out on five geometrical types of corrugated ...
Large eddy simulation of surge inception and active surge control in a high speed centrifugal compressor with a vaned diffuser
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, we present a numerical investigation of active surge control and performance improvement for an aero engine centrifugal compressor (NASA CC3) using self-recirculating bleed slots with different bleeding ...
Time-domain simulation of second-order irregular wave diffraction based on a hybrid water wave radiation condition
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A time-domain second-order method is presented to simulate three-dimensional wave–body interaction. In the approach, Taylor series expansions are applied to the free surface boundary conditions, and a Stokes perturbation ...
Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ...
A comprehensive review on the anti-cancer properties and mechanisms of action of sesamin, a lignan in sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum).
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Sesamin is the major active ingredient is Sesamum indicum seeds. Several studies revealed that sesamin possesses potent anti-cancer properties. The anti-cancer effects of sesamin have been mainly attributed to its ...
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 ...
Canavan disease: an Arab scenario.
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
The autosomal recessive Canavan disease (CD) is a neurological disorder that begins in infancy. CD is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the ASPA enzyme. It has been reported with high frequency in patients with ...
