Comparative study on the behavior of square foundations resting on confined sand
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2009 , Article)
The behavior of shallow foundations resting on laterally and (or) vertically confined sand has been investigated using physical and numerical modeling. The models were designed to simulate the frequently constructed raft ...
Fuzzy blind-spot scanner for automobiles
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, an Intelligent Blind-Spot Sensing system is presented. This system exploits the power of sensor technology using multiple low-cost ultrasonic sensors to monitor the designated blind spots in a vehicle. In ...
Autonomous corrosion detection in gas pipelines: A hybrid-fuzzy classifier approach using ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation protocols
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, a customized classifier is presented for the industry-practiced nondestructive evaluation (NDE) protocols using a hybrid-fuzzy inference system (FIS) to classify the corrosion and distinguish it from the ...
Operational modeling of multistream heat exchangers with phase changes
(
Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company
, 2009 , Article)
Multistream heat exchangers (MSHE) enable the simultaneous exchange of heat among multiple streams, and are preferred in cryogenic processes such as air separation and LNG. Most MSHEs are complex; proprietary and involve ...
A Resolver Angle Estimator Based on Its Excitation Signal
(
IEEE
, 2009 , Article)
A resolver generates a pair of signals proportional to the sine and cosine of the angular position of its shaft. A new low-cost method for converting the amplitudes of these sine/cosine transducer signals into a measure ...
الايمان كدافع لتشجيع العمل التطوعي : الهلال الأحمر الاماراتي كنموذج
(
جامعة الأزهر - كلية أصول الدين و الدعوة بالزقازيق
, 2009 , Article)
تسهم الخدمات التطوعية بدور كبير في بناء كثير من الحضارات و المجتمعات على مر العصور. حيث انها لا تمثل مهنة وبصفتها عملاً خالياً من الربح يقوم به مجموعة من الأفراد من اجل الغير. وتأخذ أشكالا وانماطاً متعددة منها الذاتية ومنها ...
Attracting High Achieving Secondary Students through Early Admission Call-Up in an American Style College in Lebanon: A Comparison with American Colleges
(
National Association for College Admission Counseling
, 2009 , Article)
An early admission call-up was used to attract high-achieving students to a private university in Lebanon. The callup,
which is essentially an offer of admission before the student takes any formal steps, was administered ...
Complex-impedance response of an Ag/TeO2-V2O5/Ag structure
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
The ac conductivity of glass samples of composition 50 mol% TeO2 and 50 mol% V2O5 has been analyzed. The samples were prepared by the usual melt-quench method. The electrical conductance and capacitance were measured over ...
A simulated annealing technique for multi-objective simulation optimization
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, we present a simulated annealing algorithm for solving multi-objective simulation optimization problems. The algorithm is based on the idea of simulated annealing with constant temperature, and uses a rule ...
