This thesis will develop an optimal design methodology for fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV) based on ordinal optimization (OO) technique and dynamic programming; the optimal design aims to determine the appropriate ...
The common prawn, Palaemon elegans, is an intertidal crustacean widely found along the Lebanese coast. It is often subjected to various pollutants and other stressful conditions. The effects of fuel oil on this shrimp ...
I am a theatrical performer and an architect. I am involved in both disciplines yet for the past four years in Architecture, I did not find ways to completely immerse myself in either as my engagement with one lead to ...
This thesis extends the work of Moukalled et al. [1] for predicting the performance of a roof-top air conditioning unit using CFD codes. Recently, Moukalled et al. [1] studied numerically the thermal and hydrodynamic ...
Implantable, bioresorbable, and flexible bioelectronics are leading the evolution towards non-invasive, high fidelity next-generation implanted devices, especially for recording acute/chronic neurophysiological signals ...
In this thesis we present a new fully coupled algorithm for fluid flow at all sp eeds. This algorithm has been developed and implemented within a finite volume m ethod in which the momentum equations and the continuity ...
This thesis undertakes the analysis of the function of art in Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle (1976) and Cat's Eye (1988), tracing the evolution of this writer's views on art from one novel to another. While art in Lady ...
Malaria is one of the most devastating vector-borne diseases in the world. It is caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium that are transmitted to humans by the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Studies in the major ...
Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes are the main vectors of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in sub-Saharan Africa. The innate immune system of mosquitoes is a major determinant of their vectorial capacity. Catalytic ...
Mosquito vectors of diseases are not passive hosts for the pathogens they transmit,
rather they employ a robust innate cellular and humoral immune responses against the
various microbes they encounter. In Drosophila and ...
Malaria is one of the most shattering tropical diseases. Transmission of malaria to human hosts requires its successful development within its Anopheles mosquito vector. During the last decade, pioneering functional genetic ...
Exercise is beneficial to psychological health. The mechanisms underlying these improvements in mental health are still unknown. Dietrich (2003 2006) proposed the transient hypofrontality theory (THT) as a new mechanistic ...
