Towards Gas Hydrate-Free Pipelines: A Comprehensive Review of Gas Hydrate Inhibition Techniques
( MDPI , 2022 , Article Review)Gas hydrate blockage is a major issue that the production and transportation processes in the oil/gas industry faces. The formation of gas hydrates in pipelines results in significant financial losses and serious safety ... -
Towards Information Theoretic Interpretation of Practical Ciphers
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Conference Paper)In spite of the wide spread of practical crypto- systems and ciphers nowadays, they still lack a unique metric to measure the secrecy level they provide. Their strength is measured in an ad-hoc way by exposing them to ... -
Towards model-based management of database fragmentation
( USENIX Association , 2013 , Conference Paper)The performance of a database can significantly deteriorate due to the fragmentation of data/index files. Manual database defragmentation and performance optimization remain time consuming and even infeasible as it requires ... -
Towards next generation cannulation simulators
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2020 , Article)Background: Cannulation, in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), is the act of inserting a cannula through the body1. For femoral veins, femoral arteries, and the jugular vein, the cannula stops at the inferior vena ... -
Towards next generation Savonius wind turbine: Artificial intelligence in blade design trends and framework
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article Review)Currently, the Savonius wind turbine (SWT) has established itself as a reliable wind turbine solution, particularly for small-scale wind farms. It is a reliable form of power generation owing to its self-starting capability, ... -
Towards NLP-based Semi-automatic Preparation of Content for Language Learning using LingoSnacks m-Learning Platform
( Institute of information System and Research Center (IISRC) , 2013 , Article)Vocabulary growth is an important element for language learning but it requires repeated and varied exposure to the new words and their usage in different context. However preparing suitable learning content for effective ... -
Towards pedagogy-driven learning design: A case study of problem-based learning design
( Springer Verlag , 2014 , Conference Paper)Existing learning design languages are pedagogy-neutral. They provide insufficient support to explicitly represent pedagogy-specific approaches such as problem-based learning (PBL). As the first step towards pedagogy-driven ... -
Towards Privacy Preserving Consensus Control in Multi-Agent Cyber-Physical Systems Subject to Cyber Attacks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Conference Paper)Multi-agent systems (MAS) require sharing their information with their neighboring agents to reach a consensus in a distributed manner. In this paper, a transformation-based consensus control methodology is developed and ... -
Towards Proactive Fault Management of Enterprise Systems
