Exploiting Sparsity in Amplify-and-Forward Broadband Multiple Relay Selection by Ala Gouissem (7006463)

“…However, most of the techniques in the literature are not suitable for large cooperative networks such as device-to-device and wireless sensor networks that are composed of a massive number of active devices, which significantly increases the relay selection complexity. …”

Off-design performance analysis of combined CSP power and direct oxy-combustion supercritical carbon dioxide cycles by Ahmad K. Sleiti (14778229)

“…Moreover, at the design point conditions, the increase of the <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/compressor-inlet-temperature" target="_blank">CIT</a> reduces the cycle efficiency (by 8%) but also reduces the amount of the consumed fuel (by 15.8%). …”

Effects of electrode morphology on the performance of BPSH and PATS ionic polymer transducers by Akle, Barbar J.

“…Ionic polymer transducers are soft actuators that produce large bending deflections when a small voltage is applied across their thickness. …”

Pore-scale simulation of fine particles migration in porous media using coupled CFD-DEM by Ahmed Elrahmani (17128837)

“…The time required to develop bridging and subsequent clogging of the pore space that lead to permeability reduction decreases as the flow velocity increases. The size of the fine particles has a significant impact on permeability reduction where the reduction in permeability increases as the size of particles increases. …”

Habitat Complexity Influences the Microhabitat Choices of Desert Beetles by Bartholomew, Aaron

“…The model predicts that prey survivorship is maximized at intermediate Sp/Py values, such that prey can fit through the spaces in a habitat, but their larger predators cannot. The model also predicts that prey survivorship increases with increasing cover (Ct/At), which interferes with predators' ability to detect prey. …”

On the relationship between the electric double layer and actuation in ionomeric polymer transducers by Akle, Barbar J.

“…Previous work showed that actuation performance of ionic polymer transducers is strongly correlated with the capacitance due to surface charge accumulation. Increasing the capacitance of the actuator increases the motion of the charges and increases the strain produced under the application of an electric field. …”

Impact of Pore Tortuosity on Electrode Kinetics in Lithium Battery Electrodes: Study in Directionally Freeze-Cast LiNi_0.8Co_0.15Al_0.05O₂(... by Benjamin Delattre (1860598)

“…Under galvanostatic discharge, optimized microstructures show a three- to fourfold increase in area-specific capacity compared to typical Li-ion composite electrodes. …”

The lack of physical exercise in Arab states by Nature Research (16552612)

“…The fast adoption of a Western lifestyle, among other factors, has led to reduced physical activity and an increase in the consumption of sugars and saturated fats. …”

Adaptation Effectiveness and Free-Riding Incentives in International Environmental Agreements by Benchekroun, Hassan

“…We show that an increase in effectiveness of adaptation will diminish the incentive of individual countries to free-ride on a global agreement over emissions. …”

Experimental investigation of the seismic response of Baalbek colonnade. (c2018) by Estephan, Johnny Boutros

“…Stability curves were developed for each type of columns and displacements were measured in both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions using a laser motion sensor. The study found that colonnades under in-plane excitations are more vulnerable to collapse as the number of columns increases. …”

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI: Evaluating the Effect of the EEG Cap-Cabling Configuration on the Gradient Artifact by Muhammad E. H. Chowdhury (14150526)

“…These changes could potentially be translated into a reduction in the required dynamic range, an increase in the EEG bandwidth or an increase in the achievable image resolution without saturation, all of which could be beneficially exploited in EEG-fMRI studies. …”

Bureaucratic Management as an Obstacle to Implementation of Recommendations Resulting from Customer Satisfaction Survey by Al Braiki, Layla Salem Saleh Fadhel
