Modeling and optimization of poultry house passive cooling strategies in semiarid climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Meeting hygrothermal and air quality requirements in livestock dwellings is crucial for upholding production quality standards. However, ventilation and air-conditioning in such enclosures is very energy-intensive, especially ...
Energy savings resulting from using a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger for precooling in hot desert climates
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Given the substantial energy use for space cooling in buildings, integrating energy-efficient and sustainable cooling systems into buildings has become increasingly more important. Even though the cooling potential of a ...

(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article Review)
With an ever-increasing global population, the combustion of fossil fuels has risen immensely to meet the demand for electricity, resulting in significant increase in carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions. In recent years, CO2 ...
Augmented reality flavor: cross-modal mapping across gustation, olfaction, and vision
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
Gustatory display research is still in its infancy despite being one of the essential everyday senses that human practice while eating and drinking. Indeed, the most important and frequent tasks that our brain deals with ...
Structural equation modeling of public transport use with COVID-19 precautions: An extension of the norm activation model
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study aims to identify the travelers' attitudes and preferences towards the use of public transport during COVID-19 through the Norm-Activation Model (NAM). A questionnaire survey was designed to assess the traveler's ...
Point-Denoise: Unsupervised outlier detection for 3D point clouds enhancement
(
Springer Nature
, 2021 , Article)
3D point cloud denoising is an increasingly demanding field as such type of data structure is getting more attention in perceiving the 3D environment for diverse applications. Despite their novelty, recently proposed ...
Vibration of Periodic Drill-Strings with Local Sources of Resonance
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2021 , Article)
A new class of drill-strings is proposed for attenuating undesirable vibrations to ensure effective operation. The drill-string is provided with passive periodic inserts, which are integrated with sources of local resonance ...
