Characteristics and mitigation strategies for cell phone use while driving among young drivers in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
There is no doubt that cell phone use while driving can lead to a higher probability of driver error, which increases the likelihood of more crashes. In Qatar, the high rate of cell phone use while driving among young ...
Insulator-based dielectrophoresis for fouling suppression in submerged membranes bioreactors: Impact of insulators shape and dimensions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The application of insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) has the potential to enhance membrane fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors without extra energy consumption. In this study, the effect of the ...
A hybrid forward osmosis/reverse osmosis process for the supply of fertilizing solution from treated wastewater
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This work investigates the application of a hybrid system that combines forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) processes for the supply of a fertilizing solution that could be used directly for irrigation purposes. ...
Reveal the hidden layer via entity embedding in traffic prediction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The neural network-based models have been widely used in traffic prediction. They have improved accuracy and efficiency in traffic flow, speed, passenger flow, and delay. Many variables are considered to predict traffic ...
Using pavements to generate electricity
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
As part of developing a safe, efficient, and sustainable transportation infrastructure, health monitoring of pavements and bridges, as well as the monitoring of real-time roadway conditions for safety, have become increasingly ...
Macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing soil-solid interface friction under low effective normal stresses
(
ASTM International
, 2014 , Article)
The paper describes a new macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing the largedisplacement soil/solid interface drained shear strength at low effective normal stresses. The testing method arises from a need to ...
Shear strength of geosynthetic composite systems for design of landfill liner and cover slopes
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Torsional ring shear tests were performed on composite specimens that simulate the field alignment of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill liner and cover system components. Simultaneous shearing was provided to each test ...
Numerical study on settlement of piled foundations on homogenous rock
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Settlement behavior of piled foundations on homogenous rock was investigated using an extensive three-dimensional finite element analysis of different piled-foundation models. Effects of pile slenderness ratio, pile spacing, ...
Settlement of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in rock - analytical and experimental study
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Finite element analysis was performed to study the settlement behaviour of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in nonhomogenous rock. The elastic modulus of the rock mass was taken to increase linearly along the pile ...
Two- and three-dimensional analyses of translational slides in soils with nonlinear failure envelopes
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2010 , Article)
This paper aims to assess the effect of nonlinearity of the soil shear strength envelope on the sliding mass con-figurations and the minimum two- and three-dimensional factors of safety for slopes susceptible to translational ...
