Biodegradation Kinetics of Benzene and Naphthalene in the Vadose and Saturated Zones of a (Semi)-Arid Saline Coastal Soil Environment
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Biodegradation is a key process for the remediation of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), but this process is not well known for the (semi)-Arid coastal environments where saline conditions and continuous ...
The Way-Finding in Educational Modular Buildings: The Case of the Male Engineering Building at Qatar University
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Way-finding is the ability of people to perceive routes, flow patterns, or passageways inside and/or around a building. In other words, it is the capability of a person to know their whereabouts in a space. Modular buildings ...
Behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete using steel slag coarse aggregate produced in Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The state of Qatar suffers from the shortage of natural resources needed for concrete production. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the feasibility of using by-product recycled materials as aggregates to maintain ...
The P-ART framework for placement of virtual network services in a multi-cloud environment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Carriers network services are distributed, dynamic, and investment intensive. Deploying them as virtual network services (VNS) brings the promise of low-cost agile deployments, which reduce time to market new services. If ...
Immersive virtual reality to enforce teaching in engineering education
(
Springer
, 2019 , Article)
Prior studies on the use of digital prototyping and virtual reality (VR) in designing as well as evaluating new products have shown that VR reduces both development time and costs whilst augmenting student motivation and ...

(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Over a period spanning more than 30 years, several ramp metering algorithms have been developed to improve the operation of freeways. Many of these algorithms were deployed in several regions of the world, and field ...
High Gain Transformer-Less Double-Duty-Triple-Mode DC/DC Converter for DC Microgrid
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
High-gain DC/DC converters with high efficiency are needed in dc microgrid owed to the low voltage of power sources, e.g., photovoltaic-cell and fuel-cell. This paper proposed a new high-gain double-duty-triple-mode (DDTM) ...
