A comparative study of the treatment of ethylene plant spent caustic by neutralization and classical and advanced oxidation
(
Academic Press
, 2015 , Article)
The treatment of spent caustic produced from an ethylene plant was investigated. In the case of neutralization alone it was found that the maximum removal of sulfide was at pH values below 5.5. The higher percentage removal ...

, 2016 , Conference)
Ramp metering is the most effective and widely implemented strategy for improving traffic flow on freeways by restricting the number of vehicles entering a freeway using ramp meters. A ramp meter is a traffic signal ...
Gas Driven Fracture during Gas Production using HeleShaw Cell
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference)
Methane hydrate is considered a potential energy source, with worldwide reserves on the order of 500-10,000 Gt of carbon. The production of Methane from hydratebearing sediments requires hydrate dissociation for releasing ...
Structural damage detection in real time: Implementation of 1D convolutional neural networks for SHM applications
(
Springer
, 2017 , Conference)
Most of the classical structural damage detection systems involve two processes, feature extraction and feature classification. Usually, the feature extraction process requires large computational effort which prevent the ...
Vibration suppression in metastructures using zigzag inserts optimized by genetic algorithms
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Conference)
Metastructures are known to provide considerable vibration attenuation for mechanical systems. With the optimization of the internal geometry of metastructures, the suppression performance of the host structure increases. ...
