Electric vehicles have a great potential to decrease the adverse effects of transportation, especially in metropolitan cities. On the other hand, adoption of the electric vehicles requires supporting infrastructure such ...

In this study, a simulation model was used to evaluate the performance of forward osmosis process. A solution of low salinity was used as the feed solution in forward osmosis to dilute saline solution (i.e. draw solution) ...

Rapid development in Qatar in the recent years has led to numerous changes, particularly the increased prevalence of lifestyle related health risks, with almost 50% obesity rates amongst Qataris of all ages. We investigated ...

Logic programs with ordered disjunction (LPODs) (Brewka 2002) generalize normal logic programs by combining alternative and ranked options in the heads of rules. It has been showed that LPODs are useful in a number of areas ...

Polysulfone-Silica mixed matrix hybrid membranes have been prepared by incorporating silicon dioxide nanoparticles with average particle size of 136 nm. Two types of polysulfone-silica nanocomposite membranes were prepared ...

Rising obesity levels and physical inactivity are major concerns in the 21st century due to their association with several health risks including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Engaging sedentary and obese ...

Formation damage costs oil and gas industry $140 billion/year in lost productivity, this is a key challenge to Qatar, the world's largest LNG exporter. During production from a well, multiphase flow foster drag forces to ...

This paper presents an analytical study to verify the ACI 549-4R-16 code for experimentally tested Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams, which were strengthened to enhance the flexural capacity using Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious ...

A ballasted track is a popular type of railway track and its use is increasing all over the world. A ballasted track consists of different structural elements like rails, fasteners, sleepers, ballast layer, sub-ballast ...

This paper presents a beam structure of a new metamaterial-inspired dynamic vibration attenuation system. The proposed experimental research presents a designed cantilevered zigzag structure that can have natural frequency ...
