Customer participation in online co-creation experience: the role of e-service quality
(
Emerald Group Holdings Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Purpose - This exploratory paper aims to extend the research on customer co-creation behavior into an emerging market. To this end, it empirically examines the influence of e-service quality dimensions on customers' ...
An analytic network process condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
Civil-Comp Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer pipelines age, the need for their upgrading, maintaining, and repairing arises. Simultaneously, inadequate sewer pipelines might lead to catastrophic failures. Thus, decision makers must have a detailed knowledge ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
Enhancement of multi-media filter performance using talc as a new filter aid material: Mechanistic study
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The potential of using a new filter aid, namely, talc to enhance the removal of particles in a multi-media filter was investigated. In the case of the nano-scale particles the running time was enhanced by 300. min at a ...
A fouling suppression system in submerged membrane bioreactors using dielectrophoretic forces
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A novel method was developed to suppress membrane fouling in submerged membrane bioreactors. The method is based on the dielectrophoretic (DEP) motion of particles in an inhomogeneous electrical field. Using a real sample ...
Melt Processing and Properties of Polyamide 6/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composites
(
ICCCM
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the processing and characterization of Polyamide 6 (PA6) / graphite nanoplatelets
(GNPs) composites is reported. PA6/GNPs composites were prepared by melt-mixing using an
industrial, co-rotating, intermeshing, ...
A high efficiency and high reliability single-phase modified quasi Z-Source inverter for non-isolated grid-connected applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Quazi Z-Source inverter (qZSI) is a promising inverter topology that can buck or boost input voltage without a DC-DC converter and hence can be used in transformerless configuration. This is a high efficiency solution ...
Melt processing and characterisation of polyamide 6/graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Graphene, due to its outstanding properties, has become the topic of much research activity in recent years. Much of that work has been on a laboratory scale however, if we are to introduce graphene into real product ...
Processing and characterization of polyethylene-based composites
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
Thermoplastic matrix polymer composites have gained commercial success in the semistructural and structural applications. Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most versatile and widely used thermoplastics in the world because ...
Bayesian network and response surface methodology for prediction and improvement of bacterial metabolite production
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The optimization of antifungal activity production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in two steps. The first step involved the screening of cultural parameters affecting ...
