Design of thin wall structures for energy absorption applications: Enhancement of crashworthiness due to axial and oblique impact forces
(2013 , Article)
This paper describes a computationally aided design process of a thin wall structure subject to dynamic compression in both axial and oblique directions. Several different cross sectional shapes of thin walled structures ...
Corrosion of inhibitor treated mild steel immersed in distilled water and a simulated salt solution
(2013 , Article)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the performances of three inhibitors in controlling corrosion of local mild steel products in distilled water and a simulated salt solution. Corrosion inhibition of mild steel ...
Effects of environmental and climatic conditions on PV efficiency in qatar
(
European Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ)
, 2013 , Article)
The sensitivity of various solar photovoltaic technologies towards dust, temperature and relative humidity is investigated for Qatar’s environment. Results obtained show that dust accumulation has the great effect on ...
High pressure CO2 absorption studies on imidazolium-based ionic liquids: Experimental and simulation approaches
(2013 , Article)
A combined experimental-computational study on the CO2 absorption on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluophosphate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[trifluoromethylsulfonyl]imide, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ...
Highly stable nanoporous sulfur-bridged covalent organic polymers for carbon dioxide removal
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Carbon dioxide capture and separation requires robust solids that can stand harsh environments where a hot mixture of gases is often found. Herein, the first and comprehensive syntheses of porous sulfur-bridged covalent ...
Limitations and high pressure behavior of MOF-5 for CO2 capture
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2013 , Article)
Porous network structures (e.g. metal–organic frameworks, MOFs) show considerable potential in dethroning monoethanol amine (MEA) from being the dominant scrubber for CO2 at the fossil-fuel-burning power generators. In ...
A combined computational and experimental study of high pressure and supercritical CO2 adsorption on Basolite MOFs
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Metal organic frameworks (such as commercial Basolite®) display significant promise for CO2 capture and storage. Here, in order to monitor CO2 capture of Basolite®, we combined high pressure CO2 adsorption with high-pressure ...
Decentralized multiuser diversity with opportunistic packet transmission in MIMO wireless sensor networks
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
In this study, we consider a single-hop wireless sensor network where both the sensor nodes and the controller node have multiple antennas. We focus on single beam opportunistic communication and propose a threshold-based ...
I/Q imbalance in multiple beamforming {OFDM} transceivers: SINR analysis and digital baseband compensation
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
In this paper, we start by investigating the impact of joint transmit-receive I/Q imbalance on the performance of direct-conversion beamforming OFDM transceivers. We derive a new analytical expression for the average ...
An integrated approach for airline flight selection and timing, fleet assignment, and aircraft routing
(
INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences
, 2013 , Article)
Airline profits critically depend on the nature and efficiency of service they provide and accrue from a complex planning process involving schedule design fleet assignment aircraft routing and crew scheduling which are ...
