Integrating device-to-device (D2D) cooperation with mobile edge computing (MEC) for computation offloading has proven to be an effective method for extending the system capabilities of low-end devices to run complex ...

As water scarcity is emerging as a great threat nowadays, water reuse is a critical component of the solution. Among many tested wastewater treatment technologies, anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have proven their ...

Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) exhibit dynamic stall under operational conditions which causes boundary layer separation from the surface of the blade. This hinders the turbine’s overall performance in which the turbine ...

The thesis addresses the high end private residential projects in Lebanon, and discusses the reasons for projects’ change orders. This research aims to determine the reasons for change orders, the party responsible for ...

The fragmented management of traditional construction projects, which mainly lacks the integration of project processes, often results in schedule delays and cost overruns leading to client dissatisfaction, quality defects, ...

Transportation safety continues to be an important issue that we face daily as it results in enormous losses to human life and to the economy. This research targets safe mobility at intersections in an urban setting by ...

Landslide hazards associated with the quarrying sector in Lebanon are a source of public concern due to the adverse environmental and social impacts imposed by illegal quarrying activities. Such activities have been leading ...

Currently, most of the research activities and the resulting commercial products offer motorized lower-limb exoskeletons that assist paraplegics in ambulating while standing up. However, there exist numerous gaiting techniques ...

Recycling and reuse of treated wastewater has been addressed as an alternative water resource to a great extent lately because of major water scarcity faced worldwide. Among wastewater treatment technologies envisaged, ...

Simulation of pile driving is frequently used in present design practice to study pile drivability and to estimate pile static capacity based on driving data. The accuracy of both drivability analysis and static resistance ...
