How sustainable is electric mobility? A comprehensive sustainability assessment approach for the case of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Electric mobility is a trending topic around the world, and many countries are supporting electric vehicle technologies to reduce environmental impacts from transportation such as greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution ...
Towards achieving nanofinish on silicon (Si) wafer by ?-wire electro-discharge machining
(
Springer London
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the use of nanopowder-mixed dielectric oil and temporary metallic coating on highly doped Si sample to achieve nanometric surface roughness using ?-WEDM operation. To achieve this, two different ...
A validated design methodology for a closed-loop subsonic wind tunnel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
A systematic investigation into the design and simulation of flow parameters in a closed-loop wind tunnel was carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The analytical model for estimating pressure losses were ...
Effect of temperature and erosion on pitting corrosion of X100 steel in aqueous silica slurries containing bicarbonate and chloride content
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The effect of temperature on erosion-enhance pitting corrosion behavior of X100 steel has been investigated. Tests were performed at two temperatures with the help of open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization ...
Multi-objective optimisation of facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
Increasing interest to the environmental, social and economic aspects of the supply chains has motivated supply chain managers to optimise location-allocation decisions within closed-loop logistics networks. This paper ...
Vibration of rotating functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams with nonlinear thermal distribution
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
The vibration analysis of rotating, functionally graded Timoshenko nano-beams under an in-plane nonlinear thermal loading is studied for the first time. The formulation is based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. ...
A new forecasting scheme for evaluating long-term prediction performances in supply chain management
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Supply chain management (SCM) practitioners in inventory sites are often required to predict the future sales of products in order to meet customer demands and reduce inventory costs simultaneously. Although a variety of ...
Resonator based switching technique between ultra wide band (Uwb) and single/dual continuously tunable-notch behaviors in uwb radar for wireless vital signs monitoring
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This paper presents a novel resonator that can switch and create three important behaviors within the same antenna using miniaturized capacitors. The resonator was integrated into conventional Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) antenna ...
Risk of Traffic Incident Delay in Routing and Scheduling of Hazardous Materials
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Unlike normal traffic incidents, incidents involving hazardous material are associated with significant traffic delays. The model of the hazardous material routing and scheduling problem presented in this paper considers ...
Electrospun polyvinyl alcohol membranes incorporated with green synthesized silver nanoparticles for wound dressing applications.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Electrospun membranes have the potential to act as an effective barrier for wounds from the external environment to prevent pathogens. In addition, materials with good antibacterial properties can effectively fight off the ...
