A cross-scale view of N and P limitation using a Bayesian hierarchical model

Cha, Yoonkyung; Alameddine, Ibrahim M.; Qian, Song S.; Stow, Craig A. (Wiley Blackwell, 2016)

We propose a bivariate Bayesian hierarchical model (BBHM), which adds a perspective on a century-long subject of research, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) dynamics in freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems. The BBHM is ...
A field based methodology for estimating waste generation rates at various stages of construction projects

Bakchan, Amal; Srour, Issam M.; Chehab, Ghassan R.; El-Fadel, Mutasem E. (Elsevier, 2015)

The growth in construction activities over the past two decades has resulted in a parallel increase in the amount of generated construction waste. This growth, coupled with shortages in landfill space particularly in urban ...
A Framework for Prioritizing Urban Arterial/Freeway Interchange Types using Multi-Criteria Analysis

Jamaleddin, Karim; Kaysi, Isam A. (SAGE Publications Ltd, 2018)

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 genetic algorithm based framework to model the relationship between building renovation decisions and occupants’ satisfaction with indoor environmental quality

Awada, Mohamad A.; Srour, Issam M. (Elsevier Ltd, 2018)

Providing comfortable indoor environmental conditions that please the majority of building occupants is an essential goal of facility management. The relationship between occupants’ level of satisfaction with indoor ...
A modular approach for steel reinforcing of 3D printed concrete-preliminary study

Assaad, Joseph Jean; Yassin, Abdallah Allah Abou; Alsakka, Fatima; Hamzeh, Farook R. (MDPI, 2020)

3D concrete printing technology has considerably progressed in terms of material proportioning and properties; however, it still suffers from the difficulty of incorporating steel reinforcement for structural applications. ...
A new evaluation and decision making framework investigating the elimination-by-aspects model in the context of transportation projects' investment choices

Khraibani, R.; de Palma, André; Picard, Nathalie; Kaysi, Isam A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2016)

The Transportation Elimination-by-Aspects (TEBA) framework, a new evaluation and decision making framework (and methodology) for large transportation projects, is proposed to elicit, structure and quantify the preferences ...
A Nonlinear Recession Model for Horizontal Aquifers

Basha, Habib A. (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023)

Recession analysis is a powerful tool for determining the hydraulic characteristics of a riparian aquifer. The basis of the method relies on two analytical solutions of the nonlinear Boussinesq equation: one applies to a ...
A novel anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactor system: Improving process performance and fouling control

Issa, Lea; Kik, O. El; Katuri, Krishna P.; Saikaly, Pascal E.; Alameddine, Ibrahim M.; El-Fadel, Mutasem E. (Elsevier B.V., 2022)

In this study, the effectiveness of a novel system of an anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactor (AnFMBR) in treating wastewater was demonstrated and the results were validated by testing duplicate systems in parallel under ...
A Novel Proof of Concept Experimental Setup for Seabed-Pipe Interface Friction Measurements

Houhou, Roba; Sadek, Salah M.; Najjar, Shadi S.; Shammas, Elie A. (ASTM International, 2022)

Offshore hydrocarbon pipelines operate at relatively high pressures and temperatures. These conditions lead to their expansion and contraction and ultimately result in pipeline buckling or “walking” after multiple cycles ...
A novel software for optimizing emissions and carbon credit from solid waste and wastewater management

Maalouf, Amani; El-Fadel, Mutasem E. (Elsevier B.V., 2020)

A novel model/software that assesses emissions from integrated solid waste and wastewater, SWW, management systems is presented. The main objective of SWW is to optimize emissions and carbon credit of complex systems. ...
A positive apportionment framework towards enhancing cooperation in the Jordan River Basin

Quba'A, Rola; El-Fadel, Mutasem E.; Alameddine, Ibrahim M.; Abou Najm, Majdi R. (WITPress, 2017)

The Jordan River Basin (JRB) has presented for long a sensitive water management challenge due to its direct association with water scarcity and socio-political conflicts amongst its riparians. This study emphasizes the ...
A practical polynomial chaos Kalman filter implementation using nonlinear error projection on a reduced polynomial chaos expansion

Slika, Wael G.; Saad, George A. (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2017)
