(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
This research aims at to assess the impact of natural hazards on the human activities and development planning held along the eastern coastal stretch of the Gulf of Suez. Change detection technique was used in combined ...
Analysis of particulate behavior in porous media
(
Shanghai University Press
, 2008 , Article)
In this work, we analyze the behavior of the particle phase in the flow of a particle-laden mixture through a porous medium. An attempt is made to model the diffusion and dispersion processes, and to quantify the deviation ...
Voltage stability evaluation of real power transmission system using singular value decomposition technique
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
Voltage stability is an important factor that needs to be taken into consideration during the planning and operation of power systems in order to avoid voltage collapse and subsequently partial or full system blackout. ...

Purpose - This research in this paper aims to investigate and extend the trust-relationship commitment model to an internet banking setting by adding attraction as a new factor. Design/methodology/approach - The paper shows ...
Fuzzy system applications for identification of weak buses in power systems
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
, 2002 , Article)
In this paper a simple new algorit hm for identifying the weak buses in a power system for voltage stability study is presented. The proposed algorithm is based on fuzzy set theory. Two membership functions, one for voltage ...
Iterative learning control for variable frequency drives
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) are subject to various types of disturbances especially cyclical ones. These periodic disturbances are difficult to compensate by conventional controllers. Repetitive control can only ...
Incidence, severity and preventability of medication-related visits to the emergency department: A prospective study
(
Canadian Medical Association
, 2008 , Article)
Background: Medication-related visits to the emergency department are an important but poorly understood phenomenon. We sought to evaluate the frequency, severity and preventability of drug-related visits to the emergency ...
Modeling of mass transport of aqueous solutions of multi-solute organics through reverse osmosis membranes in case of solute–membrane affinity: Part 1. Model development and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
A two-dimensional mathematical model is developed for transport of multi-solute liquid (aqueous) solutions through reverse osmosis membranes in which strong affinity may exist between the membrane polymer and the solutes. ...
