Improved flexible, controlled dielectric constant material from recycled LDPE polymer composites
( Springer Nature , 2016 , Article)In this study, recycled low density polyethylene (RLDPE) is developed with the addition of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) to have new polymer composites. The following wt% were used of the filler (1, 4 and 6 wt%). Tensile properties, ... -
Biotechnological production process and life cycle assessment of graphene
( Hindawi , 2017 , Article)The aim of this study is to compare the graphene produced using a biotechnological method (Escherichia coli) with the graphene produced by Hummers' method (a chemical method) and to study the effect on the energy consumption ... -
Transit‐Oriented Development and Livability: The Case of the Najma and Al Mansoura Neighborhoods in Doha, Qatar
( Cogitatio Press , 2022 , Article)Since the 1970s, Qatar’s rapid urban growth has resulted in a segregated and poorly connected urban form, particularly in the country’s capital, Doha. Although the recent opening of the Doha Metro has begun to mitigate ... -
Sustainable Status Assessment of the Transit-Oriented Development in Doha’s Education City
( MDPI , 2023 , Article)Doha, the capital of the State of Qatar, has seen rapid growth in recent years, resulting in challenges that can be addressed through sustainable urban design strategies. Such approaches, including Transit-Oriented ... -
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)Composites of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) were processed using a twin screw extruder under different extrusion conditions. The effects of screw speed, feeder speed and GNP ... -
An Improved Control Chart for Monitoring Linear Profiles and its Application in Thermal Conductivity
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Article)In most of the manufacturing processes, we encounter different quality characteristics of a product and process. These characteristics can be categorized into two kinds; study variables (variable of interest) and the ... -
Multivariate Mixed EWMA-CUSUM Control Chart for Monitoring the Process Variance-Covariance Matrix
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Article)The dispersion control charts monitor the variability of a process that may increase or decrease. An increase in dispersion parameter implies deterioration in the process for an assignable cause, while a decrease in ... -
A new hwma dispersion control chart with an application to wind farm data
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)Recently, a homogeneously weighted moving average (HWMA) chart has been suggested for the efficient detection of small shifts in the process mean. In this study, we have proposed a new one-sided HWMA chart to effectively ... -
One-Sided and Two One-Sided Multivariate Homogeneously Weighted Moving Charts for Monitoring Process Mean
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)Multivariate memory-type control charts that use information from both the current and previous process observations have been proposed. They are designed to detect shifts in both upper and downward directions with equal ... -
Enhanced remediation of Cr6+ in bacterial-assisted floating wetlands
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2020 , Article)Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) is reported to have negative effects on fauna and flora. The present study establishes plant-bacterial synergism in floating wetlands (FWs) for the maximum removal of Cr6+ from the contaminated ... -
Efficient control charts for monitoring process CV using auxiliary information
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Article)Coefficient of variation (CV) control charts are a suitable choice for the monitoring of variation in cases when the process standard deviation is proportional to the process mean. This study is aimed at enhancing the ... -
Run Rules-Based EWMA Charts for Efficient Monitoring of Profile Parameters
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)In usual quality control methods, the quality of a process or product is evaluated by monitoring one or more quality characteristics using their corresponding distributions. However, when the quality characteristic is ... -
Green synthesis of MNO nanoparticles using abutilon indicum leaf extract for biological, photocatalytic, and adsorption activities
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)We report the synthesis of MnO nanoparticles (AI-MnO NAPs) using biological molecules of Abutilon indicum leaf extract. Further, they were evaluated for antibacterial and cytotoxicity activity against different pathogenic ... -
Improved Nonparametric Control Chart Based on Ranked Set Sampling with Application of Chemical Data Modelling
( Hindawi Limited , 2022 , Article)e statistical performance of parametric control charts is questionable when the underlying process does not follow any speci ed probability distribution. Nonparametric control charts are the best substitute for this ... -
On Phase-I monitoring of process location parameter with auxiliary information-based median control charts
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)A control chart is often used to monitor the industrial or services processes to improve the quality of the products. Mostly, the monitoring of location parameters, both in Phase I and Phase II, is done using a mean control ... -
Novel Mixed EWMA Dual-Crosier CUSUM Mean Charts without and with Auxiliary Information
( Hindawi Limited , 2022 , Article)The classical cumulative SUM (CUSUM) chart is commonly used to monitor a particular size of the mean shift. In many real processes, it is assumed that the shift level varies within a range, and the exact level of the shift ... -
Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Operational Parameters to Remove Ciprofloxacin from Contaminated Water in the Presence of a Bacterial Consortium
( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)Ciprofloxacin (CFX) is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is widely used to treat bacterial infections in humans and other animals. However, its unwanted occurrence in any (eco)system can affect nontarget ... -
