Natural fault tolerance in the context of a goal oriented software design
(2013 , Conference Paper)
A particular goal oriented software design is proposed in this paper: by checking the preservation of critical information, an original proposed program structure has the important property to naturally recover transient ...
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 ...
Finite element modelling of shear strengthened reinforced concrete beams
(
International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This research aims at creating precise finite element models for FRP shear strengthened concrete beams. It is inspired by the fact that the determination of the structural behaviour of the shear strengthened beams requires ...
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 ...
Cloud-based mobile system for biometrics authentication
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper introduces a new framework to perform handwritten password authentication as an Internet service based on the cloud computing technology. Using the proposed cloud-based authentication platform, we would be able ...
