Influence of anionic surface modifiers on the thermal stability and mechanical properties of layered double hydroxide/polypropylene nanocomposites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Organo-layered double hydroxide/polypropylene (LDH/PP) nanocomposites were successfully synthesized via a solution blending method. As an attempt to improve the compatibility with hydrophobic PP, the LDH surface was modified ...
A high voltage pulse-generator based on DC-to-DC converters and capacitor-diode voltage multipliers for water treatment applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Pulsed electric field (PEF) can be used effectively in water treatment applications by passing infected water through two electrodes excited from a high voltage pulsed power supply which guarantees killing the harmful ...
Solving a large-scale crew pairing problem
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Airline companies seek to solve the problem of determining an assignment of crews to a pre-determined flight schedule with minimum total cost, called the Crew Pairing Problem (CPP). Most of the existing studies focus on ...
Cellulose assisted combustion synthesis of porous Cu-Ni nanopowders
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Porous nanopowders of Cu-Ni were synthesized using cellulose fibres as impregnation media at ambient pressure using combustion based techniques. The synthesized nanopowders were characterized using XRD, BET, SEM, TEM etc. ...
Multiple parts process planning in serial-parallel flexible flow lines: part I—process plan modeling framework
(
Springer London
, 2015 , Article)
In recent years, integrated process planning and scheduling models have been proposed as solutions that can bridge the gap between practical process planning and production scheduling. However, most structures of these ...
Secure and distributed data discovery and dissemination in wireless sensor networks
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2015 , Article)
A data discovery and dissemination protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is responsible for updating configuration parameters of, and distributing management commands to, the sensor nodes. All existing data discovery ...
Risk based life cycle assessment conceptual framework for energy supply systems in large buildings
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This paper proposes an environmental assessment framework that integrates the conventional life cycle assessment (LCA) with risk assessment for the purpose of evaluating energy conservation systems in buildings from ...
Impact of feature reduction and operating temperature on gas identification
(
Asian Research Publishing Network
, 2015 , Article)
Tin-oxide based gas sensor requires an operating temperature typically in the range of 200 °C to 400 °C and its performance dependents on this temperature. In this paper a deep examination has been made to analyze the best ...
Principles of time-frequency feature extraction for change detection in non-stationary signals: Applications to newborn EEG abnormality detection
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This paper considers the general problem of detecting change in non-stationary signals using features observed in the time-frequency (t,f) domain, obtained using a class of quadratic time-frequency distributions (QTFDs). ...
Synoptic analysis of direct contact membrane distillation performance in Qatar: A case study
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The aim of this study is to evaluate a bench scale direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) performance using flat sheet polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane at different inlet flow rates, temperatures, and salinity ...
