This thesis develops an optimization methodology based on Ordinal Optimization (OO) and DC Optimal Power Flow (DC-OPF) to determine the optimal sizing and placement of energy sources in a distribution network. The primary ...
Heavy metal contamination in soil is of great danger for the environment as well as
for the human health. This is owed to their hazardous toxicity alongside with their
ability to be easily captured by crops and plants. ...
Mechanisms have been the center of machines since the dawn of the industrial age . Due to their importance, much research and effort was invested in the developm ent of synthesis techniques of mechanisms. Optimization ...
In almost all real-life projects, activity durations are not known with certainty. Therefore, adopting a schedule that ensures the successful completion of a project on time with a high probability is critical. This often ...
In high data-rate communication systems, signal attenuation can severely affect performance. Usually, to combat this problem, coded repeaters are placed along t he transmission channel. However, for many systems like ...
In communications systems, increasing the data rate of transmission has become a vastly growing field of study. Multiple-Input Multiple-Output systems emerged as a promising approach in such a field. However, increasing ...
Response surface methodology was utilised to analyse the effects of methocel, egg-albumen and gum arabic on the sensory properties of gluten-free Arabic bread baked from a formula based on pregelatinised rice and corn ...
Security is an important issue in networks and distributed systems. In order to interact with an entity on a network, it is important to investigate the entity' s trustworthiness and reliability to ensure the correctness ...
Marginal lands constitute an important portion of the total area of Lebanon and the Near East- Marginal lands are defined to have severe limitations as to the choice of plants and require careful management Irsal, a large ...
Concurrent engineering (CE) is the process of completing tasks in parallel, in order to reduce project durations. This overlapping of traditionally sequential activities is becoming a requirement for fast-tracking complex ...
Tissue cultured banana plants perform better than sucker derived plants under field conditions in terms of earliness in harvesting (shorter cycle), uniformity of growth and increased production (Robinson, 1990 Espino et ...
Increased water demand in association with population growth, industrial development, and expansion of irrigated agricultural land have led to an escalating trend of uncontrolled tapping of water resources in Lebanon ...
Renewable energy is promising to become a major resource for future communities,
while water scarcity is becoming a major threat. The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) to power
reverse osmosis (RO) plants and produce water ...
With the increasing concern about the environment and attempts to reduce living costs many architects are trying to determine an optimal shape for their buildings in the preliminary stages of construction to minimize its ...
The performance of solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems utilizing flat-plate solar collectors is optimized for Beirut climate with respect to many design parameters. The Beirut hourly climatologicaf data is used to solve ...
Response surface methodology was utilized to analyze the effects of strained yoghurt (labneh), the time and temperature of fermentation on the acceptability and the HCl-extractability of calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper ...
AMC is a Lebanese manufacturing company established in 1994. The Company’s main products are toilet flushing systems, water tank float valves and chrome plated floor drain covers. AMC recently received an inquiry to produce ...
