Spiderweb Honeycombs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Small and large deformation in-plane elastic response of a new class of hierarchical fractal-like honeycombs inspired by the topology of the “spiderweb” were investigated through analytical modeling, detailed numerical ...
An intelligent sensing system tor healthcare applications using real-time EMG and gaze fusion
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper propose and discuss a solution of an intelligent visualization/sensing system for people who suffer from spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) which is a disorder that gradually makes the person paralyzed. The solution ...
Can immersive type of Virtual Reality bring EMG pattern changes post facial palsy?
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The loss of facial expression via facial paralysis is a devastating condition, both functionally and aesthetically. However, given the life-long plasticity of the brain one could assume that recovery could be facilitated ...
Electroencephalography simulation hardware for realistic seizure, preseizure and normal mode signal generation
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Unlike the ECG and EKG simulators which are very commonly used for these applications, there is a big need for seizure related EEG simulator. Having a hardware system that can be used instead of a real patient to generate ...
A pictorial mobile application for improving communication skills in non-verbal autism
(
International Association of Online Engineering
, 2015 , Article)
It is estimated that as many as 25 percent of individuals living with autism spectrum disorders are nonverbal. That is, they cannot functionally communicate with others using their voice. Despite that substantial fraction, ...
Potential of ground source heat pump systems in cooling-dominated environments: Residential buildings
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
For countries in the Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning (A/C) systems account for 65% of the energy consumption, all of which comes from fossil fuel. Given the preparation for the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in ...
Analysis of the effect of global climate change on ground source heat pump systems in different climate categories
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems exhibit high thermal performance. Consequently, they are increasingly used to heat and cool buildings. The thermal performance of GSHP systems strongly depends on the operation ground ...
Profitability, reliability and condition based monitoring of LNG floating platforms: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The efficiency and profitability of Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading platform (FPSO) terminals depends on various factors such as LNG liquefaction process type, system reliability and maintenance approach. This ...
Autoignition of n-heptane in a turbulent co-flowing jet
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
N-heptane autoignition in turbulent co-flowing jets with preheated air is studied using the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. The simulations are designed to investigate the effects of molecular and turbulent transports ...
Proposed cooling wall system: A lesson from nature
(
ISEC Press
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The study commences with a comparative analysis between desert adapted cactus plants and traditional mud houses. Primary comparative results yielded three main similarities: 1) Effective utilization of self-shading surfaces; ...
