Climate change is considered a major threat to the environment and society as a whole. Reducing building energy consumption through the use of thermal insulation is one way of combating climate change. This study examines ...

Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) remains a challenging problem due to the nature of distribution grids. Conventional methods, which are used to solve state estimation on the transmission level, require the grid ...

Higher data rates have always been the main demand ever since the emergence of telecommunications. This quest for faster and more reliable communications has led to the evolution of numerous generations of wired and wireless ...

Free Space Optical (FSO) channels with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) hops and serial relaying are studied under the e ects of Gamma-Gamma modeled atmospheric turbulence alone, and under the combined e ects of ...

No-passing zone crashes constitute a sizable percentage of the total crashes on two-lane rural roads. A detection and warning system has been devised and implemented at a no-passing zone site on route 114 of Southwest ...

Traditional electric power systems have several challenges in maintaining their reliability and being able to meet the demand of the consumers at peak hours. Additionally, environmental concerns may arise from several ...

The paper describes an experimental survey of flow separation on backward facing steps having different heights at a Mach number of 2.4. Reattachment and critical points are found for three regimes, laminar, transitional, ...

Concrete is the most used material in the construction industry due to its strength, durability, and versatility. With material scarcity, landfill saturation, and concrete production being responsible for 8% of the global ...

In a time when data is experiencing a remarkable growth in different fields, extracting and understanding the correlations between different data features is becoming increasingly important in many application areas, ranging ...
