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 ...
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 ...
Head Impact Severity Measures for Small Social Robots Thrown During Meltdown in Autism
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Social robots have gained a lot of attention recently as they have been reported to be effective in supporting therapeutic services for children with autism. However, children with autism may exhibit a multitude of challenging ...
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) ...
Modeling of student academic achievement in engineering education using cognitive and non-cognitive factors
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The retention and success of engineering undergraduates are increasing concern for higher-education institutions. The study of success determinants are initial steps in any remedial initiative targeted to enhance student ...
Recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax/expanded graphite based heat absorbers for thermal energy storage: An artificial aging study
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
An artificial aging study of novel heat absorbers based on phase change materials (PCMs) prepared from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) was investigated. The optimal ...
Data on the impact of an object with different thicknesses of different soft materials at different impact velocities on a dummy head
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The purpose of this data is to investigate the effect of different thicknesses of different soft materials samples added to an object on the resultant head acceleration of a developed dummy head upon impact. The object was ...
The effect of track load correlation on ground-borne vibration from railways
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
In predictions of ground-borne vibration from railways, it is generally assumed that the unevenness profile of the wheel and rail is fully correlated between the two rails and the two wheels of an axle. This leads to ...
