(
WITPress
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Over the last decade, the term "sustainability" has figured prominently in city planning discussions aiming to create comfortable places to live, work, learn and relax. In an accelerated world, the need to set standards ...
Three Dimensional Computational Study for Spiral Dry Gas Seal with Constant Groove Depth and Different Tapered Grooves
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The three dimensional simulation for dry gas seal with constant depth spiral grooves and with different taper grooves is done using ANSYS FLUENT CFD code. Grid independence study and code validation are done with experimental ...
A superconducting millimetre switch with multiple nano-bridges
(
International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we describe the design of a planar superconducting on/off switch comprising a high normal resistance nano-bridge deposited across a slotline transmission line. We present preliminary experimental results ...
Why Is That Relevant? Collecting Annotator Rationales for Relevance Judgments
(
AAAI Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
When collecting subjective human ratings of items, it can be difficult to measure and enforce data quality due to task subjectivity and lack of insight into how judges’ arrive at each rating decision. To address this, we ...
Comparative Study of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Modelling of Water-Gas Shift Reaction with Macro-or Micro-kinetics
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents critical studies on water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) kinetic models as well as the modelling approaches of the reactor, in which the reaction is conducted - the packed-bed tubular reactor (PBTR). There ...
Evaluation of Transit Signal Priority Implementation for Bus Transit along a Major Arterial Using Microsimulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Transit Signal Priority (TSP) provides preferential treatment for public transit vehicles at signalized intersections when implemented. TSP is usually provided by interrupting the typical signal timings and extending the ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This study investigates the impacts of temporal and weather characteristics on pedestrian volumes in a hot climate condition. A major neighborhood located in an urban area in Doha, Qatar was chosen as a case study site. ...
Optimizing multi-objective dynamic facility location decisions within green distribution network design
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Despite the surge of sustainable economic development which inspires corporations to optimize investment on environmental-friendly infrastructural facilities, limited pragmatic evidences are observed in product-service ...
Facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The ...
Post fault operation of a dual matrix converter fed open-end load
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the fault tolerant control strategies for a three to five-phase dual matrix converter fed open-end load system. There are two three to five phase matrix converter at both the ends of the load. In ...
