A Frontier Based Eco-Efficiency Assessment of Electric Vehicles: The Case of European Union Countries Using Mixed and Renewable Sources of Energy
( IEOM Society , 2021 , Conference Paper)Electric vehicles (EVs) are seen as a promising solution for creating more efficient and sustainable transportation systems. European Union (EU) members show a strong interest in implementing EVs, and the governments support ... -
A General Framework for Building Resilient Global Supply Chains
( IEEE , 2023 , Conference Paper)With the rapid globalization and expansion of supply chains, the risk of disruptions has increased, leading to severe financial losses and operational shutdowns. The pursuit of global integration and efficiency has further ... -
A global multiregional life cycle sustainability assessment of national energy production scenarios until 2050
( IEOM Society , 2017 , Conference Paper)The global increasing energy demand have made governments more environmental conscious, yet there are also impacts on society and the environment. The triple-bottom-line sustainability assessment and Autoregressive Integrated ... -
A MEASUREMENT CAMPAIGN TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF USING SOFT RAILPADS ON GROUND-BORNE VIBRATIONS FROM UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS
( Society of Acoustics , 2023 , Conference Paper)Railway networks may run through or beneath populated regions and significant landmarks. Hence, the ground-borne vibration caused by the trains might affect nearby buildings, residents, and the sensitive equipment within ... -
A memetic algorithm for the bi-objective quadratic assignment problem
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Conference Paper)Recently, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been extensively used to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) since they have the ability to approximate a set of non-dominated solutions in ... -
A Methodology for daylight optimisation of high-rise buildings in the dense urban district using overhang length and glazing type variables with surrogate modelling
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2019 , Conference Paper)Urbanization and population growth lead to the construction of higher buildings in the 21st century. This causes an increment on energy consumption as the amount of constructed floor areas is rising steadily. Integrating ... -
A Multi-echelon Network Distribution Model For Emergency Resource Planning
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference Paper)Resource planning in emergency management is a challenging task as it involves disaster situations where the demands are rapidly increasing and the resources are scarce. Conventional planning involves a centralized network ... -
A need for functionally graded stiffness femoral stem for reduction in stress shielding and promoting bone growth: Computational analysis
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2017 , Conference Paper)Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an orthopaedic procedure that is available to reduce pain and restore the functionality of hip joints. THA has been successfully implemented for the last 40 years. However, after more than ... -
