What we do not know, hardly know, and really know about traffic safety by Leonard Evans (19773000)

“…Likewise, we have no direct experimental investigation of how a driver’s crash risk increases with increasing speed. Our estimate of the effectiveness of safety belts (4) in preventing fatalities rests on an assumption that we know is not true. …”

Investigation of the Effect of Larestan’s Pipeline Water on the Mechanical Properties of Concretes Containing Granite Aggregates by Masoud Forsat (14591033)

“…Although the used water for the concretes must be clean, standard, and generally drinkable water, in Larestan city, the pipeline water is nonpotable water; meanwhile, this type of water is still being used in the mixture of the concretes by companies and contractors. Since in the initial tests the compressive strength of the normal samples did not satisfy the standards, 50% of granite aggregate was replaced with the purpose of increasing strength of the samples. …”

An efficient claim management assurance system using EPC contract based on improved monarch butterfly optimization models by K. Mukilan (22224793)

Prediction of biogas production from chemically treated co-digested agricultural waste using artificial neural network by Fares Almomani (12585685)

“…An ANN model consists of three layers, 15 neutrons and 260 <i>epochs</i> accurately predict the CMP with 99.1% of data within ±10% deviation of the mean experimental value. The developed model can be used to forecast the CMP as a function of operating temperature, the substrate composition, and chemical dose, and can be used for scaling-up and cost analysis purposes.…”

Modelling, analysis, and implementation of a switched‐inductor based DC/DC converter with reduced switch current stress by Shima Sadaf (16875999)

“…The proposed technique comes up with a low-cost design, high voltage conversion ratio with a less duty cycle value, and lower current stress without increasing the component count. This topology is basically a transformer-less design where one diode of the traditional switched inductor configuration has been replaced with a switch, which is in parallel with the existing switch, resulting in a design that can incorporate active switches with a low current rating, since the total input current is equally shared by them. …”
