Finite-Element Analysis of Cantilever Slab Deflections with ANSYS SOLID65 3D Reinforced-Concrete Element with Cracking and Crushing Capabilities
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This paper presents a finite-element (FE) study conducted to investigate the deflections of newly constructed cantilevered slabs built for a medical facility expansion. From the beginning of the construction stage, the ...
The effect of ICT adoption on labour demand: A cross-region comparison
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This paper assesses the information and communications technologies (ICT)-labour relationship from a macroeconomic perspective to clarify some ambiguity regarding the overall employment effect of ICT adoption in the short ...
ROM-based inference method built on deep learning for sleep stage classification
(
UIKTEN - Association for Information Communication Technology Education and Science
, 2019 , Article)
We used a classical deep feedforward neural network (DFFNN) for an automatic sleep stage scoring based on a single-channel EEG signal. We used an open-available dataset, randomly selecting one healthy young adult for both ...
Catalytic Degradation of 4-Ethylpyridine in Water by Heterogeneous Photo-Fenton Process
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, the degradation of 4-ethylpyridine (4EP) in water by a heterogeneous photo-Fenton process (H2O2/Fe3O4/ultraviolet irradiation (UV)) was investigated. More rapid and effective 4EP degradation was obtained with ...
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 ...
Toward a contagion-based model of mobile banking adoption
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to address the following question: Can a bank capitalize on its well-established self-service technologies (SSTs) in order to entice customers to adopt a newly introduced SST, namely, ...
Mycoplasma bovis-induced inhibition of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation is ameliorated after blocking the immune-inhibitory programmed death 1 receptor
(
American Society for Microbiology
, 2018 , Article)
Mycoplasma bovis-induced immune suppression is a major obstacle faced by the host for controlling infections. M. bovis impairment of antigen-specific T-cell responses is achieved through inhibiting the proliferation of ...
