Amplitude modulation in infrared metamaterial absorbers based on electro-optically tunable conducting oxides
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
A class of electro-optically tunable metamaterial absorbers is designed and theoretically investigated in the infrared regime towards realizing free-space amplitude modulators. The spacer between a subwavelength metallic ...

Aim: The purposes of this meta-analysis were to quantify the effectiveness of physical training on quality of life (QoL), aerobic capacity, and cardiac functioning in older patients with heart failure (HF) and evaluate ...
Multi-Criteria Decision Making for PLM Maturity Analysis based on an Integrated Fuzzy AHP and VIKOR Methodology
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
A wide range of product lifecycle management (PLM) maturity models are proposed to assess the relative position of companies on their road to complete PLM implementation. However, it is a tough job for the company to ...
Impact of Pulsed Dielectrophoretic Supply on the Function of Microorganisms in Membrane Bioreactors
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
This study aims to investigate the effect of dielectrophoretic (DEP) force on microorganisms' viability in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The impact of different electrical potentials (5-150 V) and different exposure durations ...

Security and monitoring systems are increasingly demanding in terms of quality, reliability and flexibility especially those dedicated to video surveillance. The aim of this study is to identify some limiting factors in ...
Experimental setup to validate the effects of major environmental parameters on the performance of FSO communication link in Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Weather conditions and chemical composition of the atmosphere are the most uncontrollable challenges for free-space optical (FSO) communications. Environmental parameters contribute directly in the characterization of ...
Tribo-mechanical properties and corrosion behavior investigation of anodized Ti-V alloy
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
In the work presented in this manuscript, a self-organized TiO2 nanotube array film was produced by electrochemical anodization of a Ti-V alloy in an electrolyte containing NH4F/H3PO4 and then annealed at different ...
Thermal properties of TiO 2 NP/CNT/LDPE hybrid nanocomposite films
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work aims to investigate the effect of hybrid filler concentration on the thermal stability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrices. LDPE-based composite films were synthesized by melt mixing, followed by compression ...
Linearization of third-order ordinary differential equations u'''=f(x,u,u',u') via point transformations
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The linearization problem for scalar third-order ordinary differential equations via point transformations was solved partially in the works of Al-Dweik et al by the use of the Cartan equivalence method. In order to solve ...
