Molecular and Structural Changes in Induced-Brain Stroke Tissue Using FTIR Imaging Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Microscopy
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
1. Background: Stroke, i.e. loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain, is the main cause of adult disability (e.g. paralysis) in the world, leaving more than half of the patients dependent ...
Analysis of Partial Electrocoalescence by Level-Set and Finite Element Methods
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The coalescence of a water drop in a dieletric oil phase at a water layer interface in the presence of an electric field is simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes and charge conservation equations with the finite element ...
A New Class of Electrocatalyst Materials for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Applications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) has been attracting lots of attention as a power source for transportation, stationary and portable electronic devices due to the high energy density of methanol and ease of handling compared ...
The Assessment of Pedestrian-Vehicle Conflicts at Crosswalks Considering Sudden Pedestrian Speed Change Events
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Introduction: Pedestrians are vulnerable road users. In Japan, more than one-third of the fatalities in traffic crashes are pedestrians and most accidents occur as the pedestrians cross a road. To evaluate alternative ...
