Life Cycle Cost Analysis as a Technique to Reduce Project’s Cost Overruns of Assets in UAE: A Case Study-Based Research by El Gergawy, Yahia

“…In 13 projects investigated from both organisations, it was found that the cost overruns were approximately estimated as AED27 million. These cost overruns represent 7.7% of the total allocated budget for the 13 projects, and if all the projects were studied, the percentage might increase further. …”

The Sustainability (Environmental and Economical) impact of upgrading Bahrain building regulations for affordable housing units: Case study in Bahrain by Al-Saffar, May

“…However, fast growth of cities and construction development will form a pressure on the energy demand and consequently on the environment and will contribute in the global warming due to the increase of carbon footprint. In addition to that, the Ministry of Electricity and Water states that Bahrain generates annually average of 3190 MWh and the consumption is estimated to be almost 266 MWh and for each standard household it almost 132 MWh that is 50 % of the overall electricity energy produced. …”

Multi-Objective Optimisation of Injection Moulding Process for Dashboard Using Genetic Algorithm and Type-2 Fuzzy Neural Network by Mohammad Reza Chalak Qazani (13893261)

“…However, in this particular investigation, T2FNN was employed to replicate the mechanical stress model associated with dashboard injection moulding. Its purpose was to estimate shear and residual stress levels. Additionally, the multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) was utilised to extract the most optimal parameters for the injection moulding process, aiming to minimise shear and residual stress and thereby increase the resistance of the final product. …”
