A framework for prioritizing arterial-freeway interchange types using multi-criteria analysis -

Jamal Eddin, Karim Ahmad, (2015)

An interchange is a road junction that typically uses grade separation to accommodate different volumes of traffic safely and efficiently through interconnecting roads. There are many types of interchanges, each of which ...
A frequency agile transmitter design for cognitive radio applications in the TV band -

Abou Shahine, Mohamad Youssef, (2015)

With the growth of mobile data applications and the development of communication systems, the spectrum is becoming very scarce. To ease congestion and boost speeds, cognitive radio (CR) is currently seen as a major solution. ...
A GIS-based framework for managing construction and demolition waste : the case of Syria -

Madi, Nour Jamaleddine, (2016)

The substantial amount of concrete waste generated from regular (non-emergency) construction and demolition works as well as emergency states such as wars and natural disasters poses a great threat to the environment in ...
A holistic participatory approach to water and sanitation improvement in disadvantaged urban slums -

Maroun, Rania Antoine, (2015)

Safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene practices constitute preconditions for health improvement and livelihood enhancement in disadvantaged urban areas and contribute to poverty alleviation. The ...
A journey in self discovery

Harake, Farah, (2013)
A microfluidic transistor for analog micro-flows control -

Cheikh, Mohamad Ibrahim, (2015)

In this work, a microfluidic device for analog flow control is presented. The device consists of a microchannel with an elastic compliant wall where the fluid flow-rate is controlled by the combined effect of the pressure ...
A nonlinear adaptive framework for the estimation of causal interactions among multivariate data in brain signal recordings -

Eid, Ursula Charbel, (2016)

Modeling of dynamical systems is a challenging task in numerous fields, such as neuroscience, control, and econometrics. For instance, the noisy and complex nature of many biological signals, such as the electroencephalogram ...
A queueing model of traffic to balance costs and emissions -

Gemayel, Johnny Elie, (2017)

In this thesis, a highway system is analyzed based on established queueing theory models of traffic systems. Various model parameters are estimated from studies that utilize real data. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), ...
A reduced-order electrical model for airflow and gas transport in pulmonary airways -

Yehia, Ali Taher, (2017)

In this thesis, a reduced-order electrical model for the advection-diffusion equation is presented. It is derived from the cable theory with some modifications. The model is used as a part of a bigger lung model to simulate ...
A robust stochastic approach for optimal sequencing of appraisal wells -

El Souki, Omar Adel, (2016)

The life of a hydrocarbon field can be distinguished by five main stages: exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment. During the exploration phase, the prospect is located and identified as a commercially ...
A smart resource allocation algorithm for D2D communications in cellular networks -

Sulahian, Hrant Roupen, (2015)

In LTE Rel-12, 3GPP proposed device-to-device (D2D) communications as a promising solution to the tremendous increase in the number of mobile users and bandwidth requirements, which has put strict limitations on the already ...
A study of skewed continuous multilane concrete slab bridges -

Hmedeh, Fatima Ghassan, (2015)

According to the USA Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) National Bridge Inventory data, a considerable number of these bridges are being recommended are being recommended for weight limiting posting, rehabilitation, ...
A study on liquid state machine for pattern recognition -

Al Zoubi, Obada Mohammad Yasser, (2016)

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a new promising approach for machine learning because they increase the ratio of biological realism, and thus the ability to capture complex data patterns. SNNs belong to the third ...
A transmission network expansion game -

Jaber, Mira Samer, (2016)

The transmission network plays a critical role in the electricity market. Nowadays, making decisions concerning network investments has become harder due to the new patterns of electricity consumption and the competition ...
Adaptive controller design of MRI compatible pneumatic teleoperation system -

Baayoun, Mohamad Anwar, (2015)

This work presents an adaptive control design of a pneumatic teleoperation system that could be useful for applications like MRI-guided surgery. The system under study is unique because of its reduced number of components ...
Adaptive design of a 3-2 directional control valve -

Sleiman, Mohamad Khoder, (2017)

Design process represents an important major in Engineering. It involves creating solutions for confronted engineering problem through rational and scientific method. A design process is applied to make a 3-2 directional ...
Al Mahatta : stitching trails

Kayyal, Farah, (2013)
Alternative uses for boards manufactured from recycled plastic bags in construction -

Salami, Alamjad Hussain, (2015)

This thesis studies the uses of ECO-BOARD, a recycled plastic product. These uses are in the construction industry, where we consider the option of replacing several materials in the industry with ECO-BOARD. This is done ...
Amalgamation proclamation

Makarem, Jalal F., (2013)
Amicable settlement as an effective stage in the resolution of construction disputes -

Jaber, Siba Majed, (2015)

Conflicts, disputes, and claims may be considered an inevitable consequence of the construction process. If construction conflicts are not effectively addressed and managed, they can result in claims that, in turn, might ...
