TESTING SYMMETRY USING A TRIMMED LONGEST RUN STATISTIC
(
Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.
, 2007 , Article)
A distribution-free test is proposed for the symmetry of a continuous distribution about a specified median. The test is based on a longest run statistic on the upper portion of the sequence of ordered �centred� observations ...
A novel algorithm for molecular synthesis using enhanced property operators
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
Traditionally process design and molecular design have been treated as two separate problems, with little or no feedback between the two approaches. Introduction of the property integration framework has allowed for ...
A simplified method for calculating saturated liquid densities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
A simplification for the Nasrifar–Moshfeghian (NM) liquid density correlation has been developed. A replacement for the Mathias and Copeman temperature-dependent term with the original Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state ...
A systematic visual approach to molecular design via property clusters and group contribution methods
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
In this work, a new simple yet effective, systematic method to synthesize and design molecules is presented. Visualization of the problem is achieved by employing an annex to the recently developed property clustering ...
A NEW DEPOSITIONAL MODEL AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION FOR THE UPPER JURASSIC ARAB "D" RESERVOIR IN QATAR
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2001 , Article)
Deposition of the Arab Formation on the Arabian Plate followed a eustatic sea-level high during the Oxfordian that deposited the open-marine shelfal carbonates of the Hanifa and Jubaila Formations. Oolite/peloidal shoals ...
Gamma irradiation effects on polymethyl methacrylate
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2007 , Article)
The effect of gamma-irradiation on the structure of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been investigated. In this study, the PMMA specimens were gamma-irradiated at doses in the range of 0-1000 kGy and measured by means ...
Bench-scale and packed bed sorption of methylene blue using treated olive pomace and charcoal
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2006 , Article)
A combination of olive pomace after solvent extraction and charcoal produced from the solid waste of olive oil press industry was used as an adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. Batch ...
Simulation of large capacity MSF brine circulation plants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2006 , Article)
New multistage flashing desalination units (MSF) are being constructed with large capacity that may vary from 50,000 to 75,000 m3/d. This is almost 2–3 times the conventional unit capacity of 27,000–32,000 m3/d, which were ...
A Magnetic Transport Middle Eastern Positron Beam
(
Elsevier
, 2008 , Article)
A magnetically guided slow positron beam is being constructed at Qatar University and is currently being optimised for regular operation. This is the first positron beam in the Middle East, as well as being the first Arabic ...
Cost optimization of composite beams using genetic algorithms
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
This paper presents a genetic algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite beams based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications of the AISC. The model formulation includes the cost of concrete, ...
