A predictive model for the assessment of the temperature polarization effect in direct contact membrane distillation desalination of high salinity feed
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Temperature polarization is one of the major sources responsible for flux drop in membrane distillation systems due to the reduction in the driving force across the membrane. The present study offers a predictive model ...
Artificial neural network-based kinematics Jacobian solution for serial manipulator passing through singular configurations
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
Singularities and uncertainties in arm configurations are the main problems in kinematics robot control resulting from applying robot model, a solution based on using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is proposed here. The ...
A survey and taxonomy on energy efficient resource allocation techniques for cloud computing systems
(
Springer
, 2014 , Article)
In a cloud computing paradigm, energy efficient allocation of different virtualized ICT resources (servers, storage disks, and networks, and the like) is a complex problem due to the presence of heterogeneous application ...
Classification tree analysis of factors affecting parking choices in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Qatar has experienced a significant population growth in the past decade. The growth has been accompanied by an increase in automobile ownership rates leading to parking problems especially in the capital city of Doha. The ...
A static three-phase to five-phase transformer based on Scott connection
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Multiphase machines have become challenging candidates for safety-critical applications that require wide fault tolerant capabilities and higher system reliability. However, this adds more complexity to the adopted power ...
Structural and morphological study of mechanochemically synthesized crystalline nanoneedles of Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanosize Zr-doped carbonated chlorapatite (n-ZCCA) was developed as a novel bioceramic by a ball milling process. Results showed that the microstructural characteristics of the product were affected significantly by the ...
Towards agile approach for better user satisfaction
(
Mundo Press
, 2014 , Article)
User satisfaction is a cornerstone indicator of any successful software project. Software projects are classified as successful only if the users are satisfied with the delivered software project result. Reducing the gap ...
Analysis of local time-frequency entropy features for nonstationary signal components time supports detection
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Identification of different specific signal components, produced by one or more sources, is a problem encountered in many signal processing applications. This can be done by applying the local time-frequency-based Rényi ...
Dynamic response of metal foam FG porous cylindrical micro-shells due to moving loads with strain gradient size-dependency
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
The dynamic characteristics of functionally graded (FG) metal foam cylindrical micro-scale shells in contact with a moving load will be analyzed thorough this paper accounting for strain-gradient size-dependency. In the ...
Multiple parts process planning in serial–parallel flexible flow lines: part II—solution method based on genetic algorithms with fixed- and variable-length chromosomes
(
Springer London
, 2015 , Article)
Multiple parts process planning (MPPP) is a hard optimization problem that requires the rigor and intensity of metaheuristic-based algorithms such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. In this paper, a solution ...
