Clustered binary consensus in sensor motes
(
VDE VERLAG GMBH
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this work, we extend and adapt the binary consensus algorithm to operate using clusters in a wireless sensor network. Binary consensus is a decision making algorithm used to cause distributed entities to agree on the ...
Multi-objective sensor placement using the effective independence model (SPEM) for wireless sensor networks in structural health monitoring
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper studies the optimal placement problem in structural health monitoring (SHM) using wireless sensor networks (WSN). This problem is formulated as a refined multi-objective optimization problem with various constraints ...

(
Taylor and Francis - Balkema
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Asphalt mixtures have been designed in the past in the State of Qatar to safeguard against permanent deformation associated with high temperatures. These mixtures are typically designed to have low content of unmodified ...
Assessment of linear and nonlinear viscoelastic responses of warm-mix asphalt binders
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology is widely used in the paving industry due to its impact on reduction of asphalt mixing and compaction temperatures. Characterisation of WMA in the past had focused on evaluating the linear ...
Characterisation of air voids in w-fam samples using x-ray ct imaging
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This study documents the use of high-resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography to characterise air void distribution in Fine Aggregate Mixtures (FAM) prepared using Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives (W-FAM). Specimens were imaged ...
Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ...
