The Effect of Change-Order Management Factors on Construction Project Success: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
(
American Society of Civil Engineers
, 2022 , Article)
Managing change order is a critical area of concern in the construction industry, owing to the resulting disputes, claims, productivity losses, delays, and cost repercussions. There have been various studies proposing both ...
Development of a Performance-Enhanced Hybrid Magnetorheological Elastomer-Fluid for Semi-Active Vibration Isolation: Static and Dynamic Experimental Characterization
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a class of emerging smart materials in which their mechanical and rheological properties can be immediately and reversibly altered upon the application of a magnetic field. The ...
Nonenzymatic electrochemical lactic acid sensor using CuO nanocomposite
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The detection of biochemical performance and health parameters using wearable sensors have gained more attention. Lactic acid (LA) sensor was developed using the simple facile method for electrochemical detection in ...

(
Korean Society of Civil Engineers
, 2022 , Article)
Clients frequently utilize tendering to select contractors in the building business. The goal of this research is to identify, assess, and rank the critical elements in evaluating contact bids for the best-value procurement ...
Vortex induced vibration energy harvesting using magnetically coupled broadband circular-array piezoelectric patch: Modelling, parametric study, and experiments
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Piezoelectric composites have become increasingly important in energy harvesting from vibration and, more recently, flow-induced vibration. The compatibility of piezoelectric devices has allowed tuning harvesters to the ...
Performance of artificial intelligence models in estimating blood glucose level among diabetic patients using non-invasive wearable device data
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is characterized by impaired ability to metabolize glucose for use in cells for energy, resulting in high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). DM impacted 463 million individuals worldwide in ...
Explainable deep learning model for automatic mulberry leaf disease classification
(
Frontiers Media SA
, 2023 , Article)
Mulberry leaves feed Bombyx mori silkworms to generate silk thread. Diseases that affect mulberry leaves have reduced crop and silk yields in sericulture, which produces 90% of the world’s raw silk. Manual leaf disease ...
Application of Tools of Quality Function Deployment and Modified Balanced Scorecard for Optimal Allocation of Pavement Management Resources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2020 , Article)
Pavement management is a set of tools used to evaluate and maintain pavements so that the pavements can be used safely and effectively over a certain period. Many traditional methods were and are still being used by entities ...
Optimal piezoelectric shunt dampers for non-deterministic substructure vibration control: estimation and parametric investigation
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Piezoelectric (PZT) shunt damping is an effective method to dissipate energy from a vibrating structure; however, most of the applications focus on targeting specific modes for structures vibrating at low-frequency range, ...
