Deep Learning Framework for Liver Segmentation from T1-Weighted MRI Images
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
The human liver exhibits variable characteristics and anatomical information, which is often ambiguous in radiological images. Machine learning can be of great assistance in automatically segmenting the liver in radiological ...
Acoustic Performance Evaluation of Dense-Graded Asphalt Pavements in Qatar
(
Hindawi
, 2021 , Article)
There is pressing and growing demand from the public to design and construct roads with a low noise level. This paper investigated the acoustic performance of asphalt pavements in the State of Qatar to assist transport ...
MODAL CHARACTERIZATION AND ROAD ROUGHNESS RECONSTRUCTION USING DYNAMIC VEHICLE ACCELERATIONS AND ANNS
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Road networks are considered huge and critical infrastructures that support the development and growth of societies. These infrastructures deteriorate over time due to regular usage and/or external environmental factors. ...
Evaluation and calibration of dynamic modulus prediction models of asphalt mixtures for hot climates: Qatar as a case study
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The dynamic modulus (|E*|) of asphalt mixtures is one of the most important inputs in Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) pavement analysis and design. Several models have been developed to predict the dynamic modulus based on ...
Watermain Breaks in Hong Kong: Causes and Consequences
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Watermain failure is a complex problem associated with significant socio-economic and environmental impacts. The complexity of this problem originates from many factors of physical, operational, and environmental nature. ...
Public transport versus solo travel mode choices during the COVID-19 pandemic: Self-reported evidence from a developing country
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
A sharp decline in public transport use has been reported worldwide since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the virus spreads through close contacts, particularly in closed environments, public transport vehicles ...
Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Water Table Fluctuation and Soil Layering on the Distribution of BTEX on Soil and Groundwater Under Anaerobic Condition
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel spills pollute groundwater in many coastal areas. BTEX is a hydrocarbon of concern due to its high-water solubility, which allows it to spread widely in the subsurface environment. The ...
Aquaculture from inland fish cultivation to wastewater treatment: a review
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
The aquaculture industry is rapidly developing, generating a high amount of wastewater. Inland aquaculture effluents contain nutrients and other substances that can cause eutrophication and the emergence of resistive ...
Characterization of tbm muck for construction applications
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
This paper investigates the potential utilization of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) muck generated from Doha's Metro Gold Line in different construction applications. The properties of the raw TBM muck were studied, and ...
A Comparative Study on the Efficiency of Reliability Methods for the Probabilistic Analysis of Local Scour at a Bridge Pier in Clay-Sand-Mixed Sediments
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, the performance of reliability methods for the probabilistic analysis of local scour at a bridge pier is investigated. The reliability of bridge pier scour is one of the important issues for the risk assessment ...
