Strain response of hot-mix asphalt overlays for bottom-up reflective cracking by Ghauch, Ziad G.

“…Moreover, the rate of horizontal strain accumulation increases with higher overlay thickness. Although initial strain values were higher at positive pavement temperature distributions, the corresponding rate of strain increase were higher at negative pavement temperatures. …”

Central air conditioning, air pollution and housing location: evidence from Lebanon by Al Gharib, Fairouz

“…Findings This study finds that local air pollution positively and significantly affects the presence of central air conditioning in dwellings. The estimated increase in the probability of having central air conditioning for a one microgram per cubic meter increase in Particulate Matter 2.5 concentration is 6.4%. …”

An additive manufacturing approach based on electrohydrodynamic printing to fabricate P3HT:PCBM thin films by Zulfikre Esa (19457344)

“…As the annealing temperature and the flow rate were increased, discernible alterations in the PCBM clusters were consequently observed in the blends of the film and the size of the PCBM clusters has decreased by 3% while the distance between them was highly reduced by as much as 82%.…”

Fluid-Structure-Acoustic coupling analysis for external laminar and turbulent fluid flows by Tohid, Adibi

“…The results indicate that the transmission loss is 27% more at the elastic plate’s highest position. By decreasing the length of the elastic plate by 50%, the mean transmission loss is reduced by 9%. …”

EVALUATION OF MATERIAL NONLINEARITY IN FATIGUED SAMPLES USING AN IMPROVED LAMB-WAVE NONLINEAR PARAMETER by A. Masurkar, Faeez

“…It is found that for a pristine state, the peak of amplitude-based parameter equals the physics based one and for a fatigued state, the amplitude-based parameter keeps increasing with an increase in fatigue damage. In contrast, the conventional relative nonlinear parameter is found to be useful for qualitative estimation of material nonlinearity. …”
