On the thermodynamic treatment of diffusion-like economic commodity flows

Nuwayhid, Rida Y.; Jaber, Mohamad Y.; Rosen, Marc A.; Sassine, Georges P. (InterScience Online, 2005-12-05)

The flow of a commodity is modelled as a quasi-thermodynamic irreversible process. The flow is treated not as a mass quantity, but more like a transient energy quantity. A commodity is thus considered an artefact that ...
Mobility and availability of copper in agricultural soils irrigated from water treated with copper sulfate algaecide

Salam; El-Fadel, M (Springer, 2008)

In this paper, downward movement and availability of copper in soils irrigated with CuSO4 algaecide treated water were examined using column leaching experiments. Two simulations considering 1 and 10 years irrigation period ...

A process study on the pyrolysis of waste polyethylene

Zeaiter, Joseph (Elsevier Ltd, 2014)

The thermo-catalytic cracking of waste polyethylene bottles was thoroughly examined to determine the possibility of operating the process in continuous mode. Two types of zeolite catalysts renowned for their strong catalytic ...
Distribution voltage control considering the impact of PV generation on tap changers and autonomous regulators

Agalgaonkar, Yashodhan P.; Bikash C. Pal, Bikash Chandra; Jabr, Rabih A. (2014)

The uptake of variable megawatts from photovoltaics (PV) challenges distribution system operation. The primary problem is significant voltage rise in the feeder that forces existing voltage control devices such as on-load ...
Experimental design and batch experiments for optimization of Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions by hydrous cerium oxide nanoparticles

Albadarin, Ahmad B.; Yang, Zheyu; Mangwandi, Chirangano; Glocheux, Yoann; Walker, Gavin Michael; Ahmad, Mohammad N. (Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2014)

Hydrous cerium oxide (HCO) was synthesized by intercalation of solutions of cerium(III) nitrate and sodium hydroxide and evaluated as an adsorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions. Simple batch ...
Predicting segmental and overall ventilation of ensembles using an integrated bioheat and clothed cylinder ventilation models

Ismail, Nagham Bilal; Ghaddar, Nesreen K.; Ghali, Kamel Abou (2014)

The purpose of this work is to implement an integrated ventilation and heat transport model of a clothed human subject to external wind. Each segment of the human body is modeled as a vertical cylinder with an air annulus ...
Comparison of tobacco-containing and tobacco-free waterpipe products: Effects on human alveolar cells

Shihadeh, Alan Louis; Eissenberg, Thomas E.; Rammah, Mayyasa; Salman, Rola; Jaroudi, Ezzat; El-Sabban, Marwan E. (Oxford University Press, 2014)

Introduction: In recent years, a class of products marketed as tobacco-free alternatives for the health conscious user has become widely available for waterpipe (hookah, narghile, or shisha) smoking. Their adoption may be ...
Improved accuracy of anticoagulant dose prediction using a pharmacogenetic and artificial neural network-based method

Isma’eel, Hussain A.; Sakr, George E.; Habib, Robert H.; Almedawar, Mohamad Musbah; Khoueiry-Zgheib, Nathalie; Elhajj, Imad H. (2014)

Background: The unpredictability of acenocoumarol dose needed to achieve target blood thinning level remains a challenge. We aimed to apply and compare a pharmacogenetic least-squares model (LSM) and artificial neural ...
Economic feasibility of a solar still desalination system with enhanced productivity

Ayoub, Georges M.; Malaeb, Lilian N. (2014)

Solar still desalination systems offer sustainable tools for fresh water production. However, their widespread application is often hindered by their relatively low production rates compared to other desalination methods. ...
Newsvendor pricing and assortment under Poisson decomposition

Maddah, Bacel S.; Bish, Ebru K.; Tarhini, Hussein (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2014)

This article studies the structure of and the interdependence among the critical decisions on pricing, inventory, and assortment of a retailers product line. It considers substitutable retail products that are horizontally ...
Augmenting analytic SFM filters with frame-to-frame features

Fakih, Adel H.; Asmar, Daniel C.; Zelek, John S. (Academic Press Inc., 2014)

In Structure From Motion (SFM), image features are matched in either an extended number of frames or only in pairs of consecutive frames. Traditionally, SFM filters have been applied using only one of the two matching ...
On the ultra-high-strain rate shock deformation in copper single crystals: Multiscale dislocation dynamics simulations

Kattoura, Micheal; Shehadeh, Mutasem A. (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014)

Multiscale dislocation dynamics plasticity (MDDP) calculations are carried out to simulate the mechanical response of copper single crystals that have undergone shock loading at high strain rates ranging from 1 × 10 6 to ...
GIS-based assessment for the development of a groundwater quality index towards sustainable aquifer management

El-Fadel, Mutasem E.; Tomaszkiewicz, Marlene A.; Adra, Y.; Sadek, Salah M.; Abou Najm, Majdi R. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2014)
