Reconstruction of Road Defects from Dynamic Vehicle Accelerations by Using the Artificial Neural Networks
( Springer Science and Business Media B.V. , 2023 , Conference Paper)Monitoring of roads is considered the first step in establishing a successful road maintenance program, which includes scheduling adequate maintenance to a certain road section at the right time. Road monitoring assesses ... -
Recovery behavior of artificial skin materials after object contact
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Conference Paper)As social robots and lifelike prosthetics get into closer contact with humans, understanding the mechanical behavior of the embedding skin materials for prosthetic and social robotic fingertips is of great importance. The ... -
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
( Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum , 2013 , Conference Paper)Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ... -
Reduced graphene oxide filled poly(dimethyl siloxane) based transparent stretchable, and touch-responsive sensors
( American Institute of Physics Inc. , 2016 , Article)The ongoing revolution in touch panel technology and electronics demands the need for thin films, which are flexible, stretchable, conductive, and highly touch responsive. In this regard, conductive elastomer nanocomposites ... -
Reduced graphene oxide impregnated gelma hydrogel promotes angiogenic activity in chick embryo model
( Society for Biomaterials , 2019 , Conference Paper)Statement of Purpose: Non-healing or slow healing of chronic wounds is among the serious complications of diabetes. Decrease in blood supply along with oxygen, nutrients and growth factors leads to reduced proliferation ... -
Reducing material convergence in disaster environments: The potential of trusted change agents
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The research in this paper seeks to advance the effective management of one of the most intractable aspects of disaster response phenomena: material convergence-the sudden and mostly uncoordinated arrival of physical ... -
Reflex System for Intelligent Robotics
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Background and Purpose: Great advances have occurred in the field of robotics in the past few years. The integration of robotics in our daily life became not only limited to manufacturing or industrial usage, but also in ... -
Regional Well-to-Wheel Carbon, Energy, and Water Footprint Analysis of Electric Vehicles
( Atlantis Press , 2018 , Conference Paper)Adoption of alternative vehicle technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have the potential of reducing some of the environmental impacts ... -
Regression models for performance prediction of counter flow dew point evaporative cooling systems
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Practitioners take more interest in the output conditions of cooling systems than the details of the processes. In this study, regression models are developed that relate input parameters, including operational and geometrical ... -
Reliability estimation of load sharing capacity-c-out-of-n pairs:G Balanced system
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)In many cases, systems are required to provide a specified capacity such as the case of power distribution system. A system fails when its capacity does not meet the required minimum capacity. In this paper, we investigate ... -
Reliability-based topology optimization using inverse optimum safety factor approaches
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)The Deterministic Topology Optimization (DTO) model generates a single solution for a given design space, while the Reliability-Based Topology Optimization (RBTO) model provides several reliability-based topology layouts ... -
REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF MICROCOMPUTER RAISED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS

Replacement policies for a parallel system with shortage and excess costs
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)It has been assumed in most maintenance models that (i) the number of units for a parallel system can be predefined precisely, (ii) maintenance cost after failure should be avoided, and (iii) age replacement can always be ... -
Replacement policies for age and working numbers with random life cycle
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)It has been modeled for several replacement policies in literatures that the whole life cycle or operating interval of an operating unit should be finite rather than infinite as is done with the traditional method. However, ... -
Replacement Policies for Periodic Damage Models
( World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd , 2017 , Article)A new periodic damage model is proposed in this paper, where the damage produced by shocks is only measured at periodic times, without considering the stochastic shocks and the cumulative process of damage in discrete ... -
Replacement policies for periodic damage models
( International Society of Science and Applied Technologies , 2016 , Conference Paper)A new periodic damage model for preventive replacement policies is proposed in this paper, where the damage produced by shocks is only measured at periodic times, without considering the mathematical models of the stochastic ... -
Research frontiers in sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems in a time of climate crisis
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Sustainable energy conversion and management processes increasingly require an integrated approach, especially in the context of addressing the climate crisis. This editorial puts forth related research frontiers based on ... -
Resistive room temperature LPG sensor based on a graphene/CdO nanocomposite
( Springer-Verlag Wien , 2019 , Article)The authors decribe an ultra-sensitive, room temperature, flexible transparent LPG sensor based on the use of a CdO/graphene nanocomposite. The graphene prevents the accumulation of CdO, enhances the surface area, and acts ... -
