Potential of geothermal energy for electricity generation in Qatar
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
There is general acceptance that climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, improving the performance of our existing energy ...
ANN Model for Energy Demand and Supply Forecasting in a Hybrid Energy Supply System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents short term demand and supply forecasting model for a microgrid supply system used to secure the electricity demands of a commercial building, using one year demand data collected in hourly base. One-year ...
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 ...
Simulation based particle swarm optimization of cross-training policies in spare parts supply systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
We study a single location supply system for repairable spare parts. The system consists of a multi-server repair shop and inventory with ready-to-use spare parts. When a failed part is received, a new (or as-good-as-new) ...
Gear Tooth Crack Detection Using Modal Analysis
(
IEEE
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
This paper aims to propose an experimental method to detect and quantify the existence of cracks in spur gear teeth using modal analysis. Frequency Response Functions FRFs obtained analytically in previous work are considered ...
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
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 ...
Drill string nonlinear vibrations: Experimental studies and finite-element analysis
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present work, nonlinear vibrations of drill strings are studied. A laboratory scale arrangement consisting of a flexible rod with rotor-stator system is used to study the system dynamics. A finite-element model has ...
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 ...
Anti-spoofing device for biometric fingerprint scanners
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Biometrics is a promising technology for safeguarding the personal identity and digital information of every individual. This paper describes an easy-to-integrate and inexpensive method to improve the security of fingerprint ...
