A simulation-optimization approach for robust aircraft routing
(
Universite de Lorraine
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
To mitigate the impact of unpredictable disruptions, airlines are seeking to pro-actively design schedules that incorporate some robustness features. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation-optimization approach using ...
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 ...
Numerical study on the damping characteristics of a shock absorber valve utilizing different velocities through CFD analysis
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Shock absorbers or hydraulic dampers are power dissipating devices. The fluid flow inside the damper is governed by predefined passages. The damping effect is accomplished by the resistance of oil to flow through the ...
Energy harvesting from railway vibrations - A numerical study based on beam-on-elastic-foundation under quasi-static loading
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
The objective of this paper is to investigate energy harvesting of train-induced rail
vibrations and to provide a comparison between various feasible harvesting locations based on
the expected electrical power output. ...
Assessment of Aesthetic Control in Qatar’s Urban Design
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Aesthetic control is concerned with the visual appearance of the built environment, specifically in the urban setting. The built environment aesthetics can directly influence place identity, property values and the business ...
Intelligent Transportation System: Application of Telematics Data for Road Safety
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Road safety is a growing concern as the number of vehicles on road increase yearly. Road related accidents is within the top ten cause of death globally and number one cause of death for youth between the ages of 19-29 ...
Computational Simulation Of Organic Rankine Cycle Retrofitted To Petroleum Well
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal refers to existing heat energy in deep rock and sedimentary basins. Unlike other types of renewable energy resources, geothermal energy provides a stable source of energy as it can be exploited regardless of ...
Children Perceived Perception of a Mini-Humanoid Social Robot Based on a Psychometric Scale: A Pilot Study in Greece
(
springer link
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
There is a growing interest in the integration of social robots in different applications in our daily lives. However, it can be challenging to design a social robot that is perceived positively among the target end-users. ...
A Framework for Assistive Social Robots for Detecting Aggression in Children
(
springer link
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
Children during their early years might exhibit different forms of aggression against others. Aggression can be physical or relational. Physical aggression can take on different forms such as hitting, pushing, and kicking. ...
Anthropomorphism and Its Negative Attitudes, Sociability, Animacy, Agency, and Disturbance Requirements for Social Robots: A Pilot Study
(
springer link
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
A social robot that meets the acceptability requirements of the target end-users presents a significant challenge to robot designers. The design process is often iterative and requires continuous improvements and optimization ...
