Drained residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low to medium effective normal stresses: Analyses and Applications
(Civil Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
A laboratory research program was undertaken to study the large-strain shear strength characteristics of fine-grained soils under low effective normal stresses (~3 to 6 kPa). Soils that cover a wide range of plasticity and ...
AN EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON OF PERFORMANCE BETWEEN FLAT SHEET AND HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE MODULES IN DIRECT CONTACT MEMBRANE DISTILLATION SYSTEM FOR DESALINATION OF SEAWATER
(Environmental Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Membrane distillation desalination is an emerging technology with a promise to considerably reduce environmental impacts associated with traditional desalination technologies such as thermal and reverse osmosis. Various ...
Sustainable solutions for domestic solid waste management in Qatar
(Engineering Management, 2016 , Professional Masters Project)
Due to the fact that Qatar has increased its investments and projects worldwide, Qatar has become one of the world’s fastest growing economy and highest paid GDP. As a result, the population has increased in the last few ...
MINIMIZING NUMBER OF SENSORS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR STRUCTURE HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS
(Computing, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are considered an essential candidate to apply structural health monitoring (SHM). An important problem in this area is sensor placement optimization. In many research works, ...
A COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK FOR DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF M-LEARNING APPLICATIONS
(Computing, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Human-computer interaction (HCI) communities and Mobile Learning Communities (MLCs) are well aware of the challenges that mobile devices impose when it comes to conducting proper usability and user experience evaluations ...
DESIGN OF PMU BASED REAL TIME FUZZY LOGIC SVC DAMPING CONTROLLER TO ENHANCE INTER- AREA OSCILLATION DAMPING
(Electrical Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Inter-area oscillation has been identified as a significant problem in the utility systems due to the damages that it may cause as well as the limitation introduced to power transfer capability. A contemporary solution to ...
Analyzing the reliability and effectiveness of public school evaluation system in Qatar
(Engineering Management, 2016 , Professional Masters Project)
In 2004, Qatar government launched a huge education reform, Education for New Era (EFNE) which introduced changes to the K-12 educational system. The reform model suggested by Research and Development Cooperation (RAND) ...
ON THE DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF THE RELAY X-CHANNEL
(Electrical Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Interference is a principal source of capacity limitations in today's multi-access multi-user wireless systems. Despite the fact that the capacity of interference channels is still an unsolved problem, the research community ...
A NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODOLOGY FOR LEAK DETECTION IN WATER NETWORKS USING INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY (IR) AND GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)
(Civil Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Two noninvasive and nondestructive methodologies for detecting leaks in water pipes were proposed and tested. The first method combines the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for accurate determination of pipe location, ...
ROBUST RESOURCE INVESTMENT PROBLEM WITH TIME-DEPENDENT RESOURCE COST AND TARDINESS PENALTY
(Engineering Management, 2016 , Master Thesis)
The Resource Investment Problem (RIP) is a variant of the well-known Resource Constraint Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) that requires finding the optimal resource allocation, given a preset completion date, with the ...
