Autism in the Gulf States: Why social robotics is the way forward
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we assess the current situation in the Gulf States with respect to autism awareness and diagnostic facilities, and emphasize the need for epidemiology studies in light of prevalence statistics available for ...
A PSO approach for robust aircraft routing
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
To mitigate the impact of unpredictable disruptions, airlines are seeking to proactively design schedules that incorporate some robustness features. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation-optimization approach using ...
Preventive replacement policies with aging failure and third-part damage
(
SciTePress
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In general, corrosions, degrading the mechanical strength of pipelines gradually with its age in a stochastic way, is the predominant cause of pipeline leaks. In addition, the third-part damage is the leading cause of ...
Review on Finite Element Material Modelling of Brain Tissue for Surgical Simulation
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Surgical simulation is a growing field of interest as it serves as a good training for the medical practitioners as well as planning and preparing for surgery. For a reliable and a good outcome from the simulation, the ...

Synthesis and characterization of nickel-cobalt oxide for ethanol decomposition
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this work we use combustion synthesis method to prepare cobalt catalysts which have been reported to be active for ethanol-hydrogen production. This work focuses primarily on understanding the reaction mechanism leading ...
Characterisation of major fault detection features and techniques for the condition-based monitoring of high-speed centrifugal blowers
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates and characterises the major fault detection signal features and techniques for the diagnostics of rotating element bearings and air leakage faults in high-speed centrifugal blowers. The investigation ...
Usability evaluation of blood glucose meters for elderly diabetic patients
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In the context of this study the usability of the first blood glucose meter that is connectable to a smartphone has been investigated by the use through diabetic patients of different ages and with different technical ...
Cyclic loading effects on soil-energy pile interaction
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
To reduce greenhouse gas emission from space heating and cooling, energy piles have been used in buildings as an alternative renewable energy source for approximate by two decades. However, the effects of cyclic thermal ...
Investigating the corrosion under insulation (CUI) on steel pipe exposed to Arabian Gulf sea water drops
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper is an endeavor to investigate an insulated mild steel pipe that exposed to three sea water drops rate (10, 30, and 50 drops/minute) at room temperature. Various experimental strategies were employed including ...
