Examining engineering students' perceptions of learner agency enactment in problem- and project-based learning using Q methodology
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2022 , Article)
Background: Few studies have reported how students enact learner agency in a team setting or examined what elements of team settings students perceive as more supportive of their learning in problem- and project-based ...
Explainable machine learning model and reliability analysis for flexural capacity prediction of RC beams strengthened in flexure with FRCM
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This paper presents a data-driven approach to determine the load and flexural capacities of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites in flexure. A total of ...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of the forward osmosis process to predict membrane flux using a novel combination of neural network and response surface methodology techniques
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging technology that has been considered as an alternative to desalination due to its low energy consumption and less severe reversible fouling. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
Discrepancy in the Critical State Void Ratio of Poorly Graded Sand due to Shear Strain Localization
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2020 , Article)
The critical state (CS) concept is a theoretical framework that models the constitutive behavior of soils, including sand and other granular materials. It supports the notion of a unique postfailure state, where the soil ...
Optimum Design of Plane Trusses Using Mathematical and Metaheuristic Algorithms on a Spreadsheet
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Mathematical optimization refers to the process of finding the values of variables that maximize or minimize a function. Structural optimization is the process of designing a structure in such a way as to minimize its ...
Application of Metastructures for Targeted Low-Frequency Vibration Suppression in Plates
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Purpose
We present an approach that combines finite element analysis and genetic algorithms to find the optimal configuration of local resonators created in the host structure to suppress their vibration in a target ...
Queue Discharge at Freeway On-Ramps Using Coordinated Operation of a Ramp Meter and an Upstream Traffic Signal
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Ramp metering is an effective way of maintaining optimum traffic conditions and mitigating congestion on freeways. Several strategies for ramp metering exist in the literature. They are typically based on the freeway traffic ...
MXene (Ti3 C2 Tx )/Cellulose Acetate Mixed-Matrix Membrane Enhances Fouling Resistance and Rejection in the Crossflow Filtration Process
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Obstacles in the membrane-based separation field are mainly related to membrane fouling. This study involved the synthesis and utilization of covalently crosslinked MXene/cellulose acetate mixed matrix membranes with MXene ...
Poly (amido amine) dendrimer based membranes for wastewater treatment - A critical review
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Membrane based wastewater treatment technologies in which polymeric membranes are most commonly used have been extensively applied in water/wastewater treatment to help address the issue of water shortage through ...
Organic fouling in forward osmosis: A comprehensive review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Organic fouling in the forward osmosis process is complex and influenced by different parameters in the forward osmosis such as type of feed and draw solution, operating conditions, and type of membrane. In this article, ...
