Engineered Biomaterials to Enhance Stem Cell-Based Cardiac Tissue Engineering and Therapy
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Since adult cardiac cells are limited in their proliferation, cardiac tissue with dead or damaged cardiac cells downstream of the occluded vessel does not ...
From Zirconium Nanograins to Zirconia Nanoneedles
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Combinations of three simple techniques were utilized to gradually form zirconia nanoneedles from zirconium nanograins. First, a physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering technique was used to deposit pure zirconium ...
A Hands-Free Interface for Controlling Virtual Electric-Powered Wheelchairs
(
SAGE publications
, 2016 , Article)
This paper focuses on how to provide mobility to people with motor impairments with the integration of robotics and wearable computing systems. The burden of learning to control powered mobility devices should not fall ...
Mathematical model for thin-walled corrugated tube under axial compression
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this research, theoretical investigation of corrugated aluminum tubes is performed to predicting the energy absorption characteristics. Aim to deform plastic tubes in predetermined intervals, corrugations are introduced ...
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 ...
The attributes of future 2030 engineers in Qatar for innovation and knowledge based economy
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. These studies continue to emphasize that technical content knowledge and competencies are essential for any engineer; however, ...
Heuristic and Exact Algorithms for the Two-Machine Just in Time Job Shop Scheduling Problem
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2016 , Article)
The problem addressed in this paper is the two-machine job shop scheduling problem when the objective is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness from a common due date (CDD) for a set of jobs when their weights equal ...
Rheological and mechanical behavior of silk fibroin reinforced waterborne polyurethane
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article)
Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) is a versatile and environment-friendly material with growing applications in both industry and academia. Silk fibroin (SF) is an attractive material known for its structural, biological and ...
Stochastic Capacity Acquisition and Allocation Model for Bandwidth Brokers under Fuzzy Volume Based Pricing Scheme
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, bandwidth acquisition and allocation problem of a telecommunications Bandwidth Broker (BB) is analyzed under uncertain end-user capacity requests and pay-per-byte (volume) based pricing policy. Furthermore, ...
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 ...
