A microbial fuel cell configured for the remediation of recalcitrant pollutants in soil environment
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2019 , Article)A pristine soil environment supports a healthy soil biodiversity, which is often polluted with recalcitrant compounds. The bioelectrochemical remediation of the contaminated soils using bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) ... -
A microfluidic pore model to study the migration of fine particles in single-phase and multi-phase flows in porous media
( Springer Verlag , 2018 , Article)Fine particles within porous media may migrate with the flowing fluid and cause bridging or clogging in the pore space. Bridging and clogging reduce the flow permeability of porous media, which has a significant influence ... -
A model for predicting failure of oil pipelines
( Taylor & Francis , 2014 , Article)Oil and gas pipelines transport millions of dollars of goods everyday worldwide. Even though they are the safest way to transport petroleum products, pipelines do still fail generating hazardous consequences and irreparable ... -
A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach for Selection of Wave Energy Converter Optimal Site
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Ocean wave energy is an essential source of renewable power for coastal communities. Choosing the optimal site for the wave energy converter (WEC) deployment depends on a number of criteria. The characteristics of the WEC ... -
A multi-objective genetic algorithm model for time-cost trade-off analysis of construction projects
( Civil-Comp Press , 2006 , Conference Paper)Time-cost trade-off analysis is one of the most important aspects of construction project planning and control. There are trade-offs between time and cost to complete the activities of a project. Existing methods for ... -
A New Benchmark Problem for Structural Damage Detection: Bolt Loosening Tests on a Large-Scale Laboratory Structure
( Springer , 2022 , Conference Paper)Monitoring the structural performance of engineering structures has always been pertinent for maintaining structural health and assessing the life cycle of structures. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Structural ... -
A New Framework for Addressing High-level Decisions Related to Sustainable Transportation Development
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Stakeholders in the transportation industry have been concerned with sustainability. However, transportation decision makers have had difficulty in incorporating sustainability into transportation infrastructure decisions ... -
A new indirect tensile testing setup to determine stiffness properties of lightly stabilised granular materials
( Australian Geomechanics Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)This paper presents a new indirect diametral tensile (IDT) testing setup for determining the stiffness modulus and Poisson's ratio for the characterisation of lightly stabilized granular base materials required for pavement ... -
A new thermal integrity method for pile anomaly detection
( DEStech Publications Inc. , 2019 , Conference Paper)Anomaly detection is a hot topic in pile construction which is a complex one due to the intrinsic nature of underground structures, such as limited accessibility, large depth and complex soil profile. Several traditional ... -
A novel cylindrical electrode configuration for inducing dielectrophoretic forces during electrocoagulation
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)The removal of total phosphorous (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from a secondary treated wastewater (STW) using a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration was evaluated. Three different electrode modules were ... -
A novel electrocoagulation electrode configuration for the removal of total organic carbon from primary treated municipal wastewater
( Springer , 2020 , Article)In this paper, the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from a primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induces a ... -
A novel empirical method for predicting concentration polarization in forward osmosis for single and multicomponent draw solutions
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Concentration polarization is one of the inherent problems in forward osmosis membrane process. A quantitative evaluation of concentration polarization is therefore vital to understand its impact on the performance of the ... -
