Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism on cuni catalysts for hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism was investigated over catalysts containing Cu and Ni metals prepared by solution combustion synthesis. In situ DRIFTS studies were conducted on individual metals (Cu and Ni) as well as on ...
Hydrogen Production via Ethanol Decomposition over Bimetallic Catalyst
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Bimetallic catalyst shows distinct physical and chemical properties differ from its monometallic catalyst due to the high synergy between the monometals. Bimetals of transition metals shows different applications in the ...
Flight Scheduling in the Airspace
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper addresses an important problem in the aircraft traffic management caused by the rapid growth of air traffic. The air route traffic control center has to deal with different plans of airlines in which they specify ...
Culture as a driver for the design of social robots for Autism spectrum disorder interventions in the Middle East
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we discuss the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the Gulf region. We examine the importance of providing state-of-the-art ASD interventions, and highlight social robots as therapeutic tools ...
Robust Resource Investment Problem with Time-Dependent Resource Cost and Tardiness Penalty
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the classical Resource Investment Problem (RIP) is extended to consider time-depended resource cost instead of time-independent resource cost. The problem is named as the Resource Investment Problem with ...
Experimental investigation of the laminar flame speeds of GTL fuel blends
(
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work investigates the laminar flame speed of GTL fuel and its 50%-50% blend with conventional diesel, in a cylindrical bomb capable of measuring laminar flame speed, SN, at different initial temperatures and equivalence ...
Distribution-Free Adaptive Step-Down Procedure for Fault Identification
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Identifying the faulty variables of the out-of-control signal in high-dimensional process is an important problem for quality control areas. Even though there have been several procedures for fault variable identifications, ...
Which replacement is better before or after a specified time for minimal repair models
(
International Society of Science and Applied Technologies
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper compares the models of replacement first, replacement interval, replacement last and replacement overtime to decide which policy would be better before or after a specified time T in the viewpoint of cost saving. ...
The role of intermetallic compounds and composite-like structure development during dissimilar friction stir welding of aluminum to brass on metallurgical and flexural characteristics
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this study, the effects of developed Intermetallic Compounds (IMCs) and composite-like structure on metallurgical and flexural characteristics of the Friction Stir Welded (FSWed) joints were scrutinized and explored ...
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 ...
