Culture of PC12 neuronal cells in GelMA hydrogel for brain tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Restoration of brain functions following trauma or degenerative neural diseases is considered among the greatest challenges in neurology due to the fact that the central nervous system (CNS) does not regenerate on its own. ...
Optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems in buildings with low to high renewable energy ratio
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
We develop a simulation-based meta-heuristic approach that determines the optimal size of a hybrid renewable energy system for residential buildings. This multi-objective optimization problem requires the advancement of a ...
Constitutive analysis for the quantification of hardness decay in a superlattice CrN/NbN hard-coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a constitutive analysis of the evolution of the mechanical response of a CrN/NbN superlattice coating exposed to high temperature has been performed. Parametric approaches were used to obtain a single ...
A model for planning locations of temporary distribution facilities for emergency response
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We propose a network flow model for dynamic selection of temporary distribution facilities and allocation of resources for emergency response planning. The model analyzes the transfer of excess resources between temporary ...
Performance evaluation of gas-power strategies for building energy conservation
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The work provided herein involves a comparison of natural gas and hydrogen fuels for the purpose of energy conservation for buildings via alternative energy generation methodologies. A case study simulation was developed ...
Risk based life cycle assessment conceptual framework for energy supply systems in large buildings
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This paper proposes an environmental assessment framework that integrates the conventional life cycle assessment (LCA) with risk assessment for the purpose of evaluating energy conservation systems in buildings from ...
A framework for developing innovative problem-solving and creativity skills for engineering undergraduates
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Book chapter)
Background and Purpose Problem-solving and creativity skills are a set of skills that are highly looked for in today's engineers. Globalization and the rapid pace of technology growth, including awareness on sustainability, ...
Mechanical and physical behavior of newly developed functionally graded materials and composites of stainless steel 316L with calcium silicate and hydroxyapatite
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This study aimed to investigate the structural, physical and mechanical behavior of composites and functionally graded materials (FGMs) made of stainless steel (SS-316L)/hydroxyapatite (HA) and SS-316L/calcium silicate ...
Parametric study of radial functionally graded femoral prostheses with different geometries
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Due to complex loading and chemical conditions of the human body, the artificial replacements of the body organs demand materials with superior characteristics. Therefore, recently using composite materials have gained a ...
Modeling of Surface Roughness in Turning Operation Using Extreme Learning Machine
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Prediction model allows the machinist to determine the values of the cutting performance before machining. According to the literature, various modeling techniques have been investigated and applied to predict the cutting ...
