VANET-Based smart navigation for vehicle crowds: FIFA world cup 2022 case study by Elbery, Ahmed

“…To build this system, vehicles are used as sensors that communicate the network state information to the Traffic Management Center (TMC) in real time. A linear programming model is developed to minimize the network-wide travel time constrained by the road link capacities based on the collected information. …”

Experimental results and modelling of corrosion-damaged concrete beams strengthened with externally-bonded composites by Elghazy M.

“…The FE models were able to capture the non-linear behavior of the strengthened beams. The interfacial bond stress-slip models at the fabric/matrix and composite/concrete interfaces and the number of composite layers had the most significant impact on the predicted response of the strengthened beams whereas the corrosion level, modeled as a reduction in the steel reinforcement cross-section, showed a slight effect on their performance. …”

Insights Into the Role of CircRNAs: Biogenesis, Characterization, Functional, and Clinical Impact in Human Malignancies by Nisar, Sabah

“…Because of the structural stability, high expression, availability of microRNA (miRNA) binding sites and tissue-specific expression, circRNAs have become hot topic of research in RNA biology. Compared to the linear RNA, circRNAs are produced differentially by backsplicing exons or lariat introns from a pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) forming a covalently closed loop structure missing 3′ poly-(A) tail or 5′ cap, rendering them immune to exonuclease-mediated degradation. …”

Prediction of biogas production from chemically treated co-digested agricultural waste using artificial neural network by Almomani F.

“…An ANN model consists of three layers, 15 neutrons and 260 epochs 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.…”
