Multi-Criteria Decision Making for PLM Maturity Analysis based on an Integrated Fuzzy AHP and VIKOR Methodology
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
A wide range of product lifecycle management (PLM) maturity models are proposed to assess the relative position of companies on their road to complete PLM implementation. However, it is a tough job for the company to ...
Impact of Pulsed Dielectrophoretic Supply on the Function of Microorganisms in Membrane Bioreactors
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
This study aims to investigate the effect of dielectrophoretic (DEP) force on microorganisms' viability in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The impact of different electrical potentials (5-150 V) and different exposure durations ...
Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide in aqueous blends of N-methyldiethanolamine and L-arginine using the stopped-flow technique
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Reduction of carbon dioxide emission from natural and industrial flue gases is paramount to help mitigate its effect on global warming. Efforts are continuously deployed worldwide to develop efficient technologies for CO ...

Finite-Element Analysis of Cantilever Slab Deflections with ANSYS SOLID65 3D Reinforced-Concrete Element with Cracking and Crushing Capabilities
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This paper presents a finite-element (FE) study conducted to investigate the deflections of newly constructed cantilevered slabs built for a medical facility expansion. From the beginning of the construction stage, the ...
The effect of ICT adoption on labour demand: A cross-region comparison
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This paper assesses the information and communications technologies (ICT)-labour relationship from a macroeconomic perspective to clarify some ambiguity regarding the overall employment effect of ICT adoption in the short ...
ROM-based inference method built on deep learning for sleep stage classification
(
UIKTEN - Association for Information Communication Technology Education and Science
, 2019 , Article)
We used a classical deep feedforward neural network (DFFNN) for an automatic sleep stage scoring based on a single-channel EEG signal. We used an open-available dataset, randomly selecting one healthy young adult for both ...
Catalytic Degradation of 4-Ethylpyridine in Water by Heterogeneous Photo-Fenton Process
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, the degradation of 4-ethylpyridine (4EP) in water by a heterogeneous photo-Fenton process (H2O2/Fe3O4/ultraviolet irradiation (UV)) was investigated. More rapid and effective 4EP degradation was obtained with ...
Experimental setup to validate the effects of major environmental parameters on the performance of FSO communication link in Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Weather conditions and chemical composition of the atmosphere are the most uncontrollable challenges for free-space optical (FSO) communications. Environmental parameters contribute directly in the characterization of ...
