  • Landslide hazard mapping for Lebanon 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph (Korea Geotechnical Society, 2022-06-20)
    Landslides are a major hazard in Lebanon due to the country’s rugged topography and its setting in a region of high seismicity and high rainfall intensity. The situation is further exasperated by rapid expansion in urban ...
  • Landslide susceptibility mapping based on triggering factors using a multi-modal approach 
    Kaafarani, Rouba; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph; Tawk, Miriam (2022-06-10)
    Landslide susceptibility mapping has been done using statistical and physically-based assessment techniques with limited focus on mode-specific models to identify failure modes and runout patterns. Because each failure ...
  • Lateral distribution of endometriomas as a function of age 
    Abi Nader, Khalil; Bazi, Tony; Seoud, Muhieddine; Charafeddine, Maya; Rechdan, Johnny; Zreik, Tony (2016-06-07)
    The lateral asymmetry of ovarian endometriomas, with a left-sided predilection, seems to disappear with advancing age. This asymmetry does not seem to persist in women >35 years of age.
  • Laws, policy measures, standards and regulations in the water sector in Lebanon: a review and perspective 
    Chatila, Jean G. (2016-05-11)
    Lebanon is increasingly suffering from shortage and mismanagement of water, which is becoming a commodity of considerable value due to the inadequacy of supply to meet the needs of potential users. Efficient solutions for ...
  • Leaching Mechanisms of Cr(VI) from Chromite Ore Processing Residue 
    Wazne, Mahmoud; Jagupilla, Santhi Chandra; Moon, Deok Hyun; Christodoulatos, Christos; Koutsospyros, Agamemnon (2016-03-01)
    Batch leaching tests, qualitative and quantitative x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analyses, and geochemical modeling were used to investigate the leaching mechanisms of Cr(VI) from chromite ore processing residue (COPR) ...
  • Learn while Tracking 
    Saab, Samer S. (IEEE, 2019-08-21)
    A simple non-iterative digital controller is proposed for the uniform output tracking problem of multi-input multi-output discrete-time varying linear systems with arbitrary relative degree. The proposed controller is based ...
  • Learning control algorithms for tracking "slowly" varying trajectories 
    Saab, Samer S.; Vogt, William G.; Mickle, Marlin H. (2019-07-26)
    To date, most of the available results in learning control have been utilized in applications where a robot is required to execute the same motion over and over again, with a certain periodicity. This is due to the requirement ...
  • Leftover spaces for the mitigation of urban overheating in municipal Beirut 
    Kaloustian, Noushig; Aouad, David; Battista, Gabriele; Zinzi, Michele (2019-08-28)
    The Urban Heat Island phenomenon and urban overheating are serious consequences of urbanization resulting in impacts on thermal comfort levels, heat stress and even mortality. This paper builds on previous findings on the ...
  • Limit states design in geotechnical engineering practice 
    Foye, Kevin Christopher; Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Salgado, Rodrigo (Purdue University, 2017-06-20)
    Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) shows promise as a viable alternative to the present working stress design (WSD) approach to foundation design. The key improvements of LRFD over the traditional Working Stress ...
  • Linear stability analysis of subaqueous bedforms using direct numerical simulations 
    Zgheib, N.; Balachandar, S. (2019-11-15)
    We present results on the formation of ripples from linear stability analysis. The analysis is coupled with direct numerical simulations of turbulent open-channel flow over a fixed sinusoidal bed. The presence of the ...
  • A local investigation of the thermophysical behaviour of TEHL contacts 
    Habchi, W.; Fillot, N.; Morales-Espejel, G.E. (2017-08-23)
  • Localization instabilities due to damage and fracture propagation 
    Tabbara, Mazen R.; Bazant, Zdenek P. (ASCE, 2017-04-11)
    In recent research it has become clear that localization of damage due to strain softening as well as propagation of interactive cracks can result in bifurcations of the loading path characterized by localization of damage ...
  • Localization of epileptogenic foci using artificial neural networks 
    Ouaiss, I.E.; Dhawan, A.P.; Privitera, M.D. (IEEE, 2017-06-22)
    Current neuropsychological tests based clinical methods are often difficult to interpret for localizing seizure foci in epilepsy patients. The purpose of this study is to predict with a high degree of certainty the location ...
  • Long-lasting effect of initial configuration in gravitational spreading of material fronts 
    Zgheib, Nadim; Bonometti, Thomas; Balachandar, S. (2019-11-19)
    We present the results from laboratory experiments and fully resolved simulations pertaining to finite-release turbulent density flows with a non-axisymmetric initial shape. First, we demonstrate that the effects of the ...
  • Long-term treatment issues with chromite ore processing residue (COPR) 
    Moon, Deok Hyun; Wazne, Mahmoud; Dermatas, Dimitris; Christodoulatos, Christos; Sanchez, Adriana M.; Grubb, Dennis G.; Chrysochoou, Maria; Kim, Min Gyu (2016-03-01)
    A pugmill treatability study was conducted to remediate chromite ore processing residue (COPR) using ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O) as a reductant. Two different types of COPR, with respect to particle size and ...
  • Low cost, flow-rate-controllable cryogenic cooling system for manufacturing processes 
    Ammouri, Ali; Al Khawam, Louai; Abu Haidar, Ali; Mansour, Mohammad; El Dimassi, Fadi; Hamade, Ramsey F. (ASME, 2017-05-24)
    In-process cryogenic cooling in fabrication processes is known to — among other benefits — extend tool life and improve the surface properties of a work-piece. To provide flexible applications of cryogenic cooling, control ...
  • A low-Reynolds-number one-equation model of turbulence 
    Elkhoury, Michel (2016-02-17)
    This work proposes an improved form of Menter's single-equation eddy viscosity transport model. The new transport equation follows from the transformation of the k-ε closure that includes the Yap-correction term, which is ...
  • A machine learning approach for localization in cellular environments 
    Abdallah, Ali A.; Saab, Samer S.; Kassas, Zaher M. (IEEE, 2019-08-27)
    A machine learning approach is developed for localization based on received signal strength (RSS) from cellular towers. The proposed approach only assumes knowledge of RSS fingerprints of the environment, and does not ...
