Cost-benefit analysis of BIM-enabled design clash detection and resolution
(2020 , Article)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly deployed as part of the processes in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry projects. While the benefits of BIM have been extensively proclaimed, ...
Numerical computation of the capacity of generalized condensers
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
We present a boundary integral method for numerical computation of the capacity of generalized condensers. The presented method applies to a wide variety of generalized condenser geometry including the cases when the plates ...
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) analysis of a two-sided windcatcher integrated with anti-short-circuit device for lowwind conditions
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2020 , Article)
Windcatchers are considered as promising passive ventilation and cooling strategy, but the ventilation performance of this system is still of concern in areas with low speed and unpredictable winds. The air short circuiting ...

Introduction:Uncertainty remains regarding the impact of enteric-coated (EC) aspirin as it relates to the reduction of cardiovascular risk. We hypothesize that EC formulation based on a previous report may blunt aspirin ...
Condenser capacity and hyperbolic diameter
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Given a compact connected set E in the unit disk B2, we give a new upper bound for the conformal capacity of the condenser (B2,E) in terms of the hyperbolic diameter t of E. Moreover, for t>0, we construct a set of hyperbolic ...

, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Sustainable aviation practices have significantly reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions over the years. However, these practices have not shaped the aviation industry in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development ...
Physical functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes for enhanced dispersibility in aqueous medium
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Noncovalent functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by anionic surfactants (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate; SDBS and sodium cholate; SC) results in stable aqueous dispersions. SDBS showed better ...
