Hybrid Deep Learning-based Models for Crop Yield Prediction
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)Predicting crop yield is a complex task since it depends on multiple factors. Although many models have been developed so far in the literature, the performance of current models is not satisfactory, and hence, they must ... -
Impact of competitive conditions on supplier evaluation: a construction supply chain case study
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)This research proposes a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework and demonstrates the impact of competitive conditions on supplier evaluation process for construction supply chains. The paper focuses on the supply ... -
Impact on power quality due to large-scale adoption of compact fluorescent lamps-a review
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article Review)The demand of electrical energy has grown tremendously in the last couple of decades across the globe. The energy conservation and management has attracted the attention of stake holders for efficient utilisation of the ... -
Improved petroleum refinery wastewater treatment and seawater desalination performance by combining osmotic microbial fuel cell and up-flow microbial desalination cell
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The petroleum refinery wastewater which is a product of petroleum refinery has a high organic content. This study explores the utilization of petroleum refinery wastewater collected from petroleum refinery as a resource ... -
Integrated performance assessment model for water distribution networks
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)The American infrastructure report card in 2013 rated the US water system infrastructure with grade of ‘D’. The Canadian infrastructure report card in 2012 stated that around 15.4% of Canada’s water infrastructure has a ... -
Investigating the effect of using softer rail-pads on ground-borne vibration from underground railways
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2023 , Article)In this study, a series of vibration measurements were performed on a section of one of the lines of the Doha Metro to explore the effect of changing rail-pads from conventional higher stiffness under-rail pads to lower ... -
Investigation into ultraviolet radiations from modern electric light sources
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)Due to concerns of increasing electrical energy demand and government regulations, traditional incandescent lamps are being replaced by energy-efficient lamps, such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light emitting ... -
Irreversible thermal inactivation and conformational lock of alpha glucosidase
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2021 , Article)In the present work, we studied the structure-activity relationship and kinetics of thermal inactivation of �-glucosidase A (AglA) in a 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer at pH 6.8 using p-nitrophenyl �-d-glucopyranoside ... -
Linear and nonlinear viscoelastic and viscoplastic analysis of asphalt binders with warm mix asphalt additives
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a widely used product, which proved a contribution to the reduction in asphalt mixing and compaction temperatures. This reduction leads to lower fuel consumption and smoke emission in asphalt ... -
Magnetic separation of micron-sized particles: process study and regression modelling using moving least squares and multivariable power least squares method
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)The presence of fine particles has reduced the quality of water resources. Unfortunately, the fine particles normally take a longer time to be removed. Realizing this, the present study aims to employ a magnetic adsorbent ... -
Methods and Techniques Used in Significant Restoration Projects in Qatar
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)The large number of conservation and restoration works recently completed in Qatar show that there exists a need to enhance appreciation of the local architectural and building traditions, as a way of bringing to light the ... -
Minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine flowshop problem with time delays
