Fluid-Structure Interaction Adopting Full Water Hammer Model, A. O. Abdelbaki, A-R. Abdel-Rahim, Mostafa. M. Awad, W. M. Elawady

Mansoura Engineering Journal

A full water hammer model is developed and coded in the Mathcad software environment. The developed model constitutes a general platform for studying the water hammer transient incorporating the most legitimate parameters that affect the phenomenon. In this study, the fluid-structure interactions during water hammer transients were investigated through the affecting parameters such as pipeline material hysteresis behavior what is so-called viscoelasticity (VE) behavior, and unsteady friction (UF) with different coupling mechanisms such as friction coupling, Poisson coupling, and junction coupling which may be due to a free-to-move valve for system with a reservoir-pipe-valve. Based on the numerical results corresponding …

Machine-Learning Based Stacked Ensemble Model For Accurate Multi Classification Of Cbc Anemia, Asmaa Mohamed El-Boghdady, Sherif Kishk, Mohamed M Ashour, Eman Abdelhalim

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Anemia Disease (AD) is one of the most common blood problems in the world. According to the World Health Organization, it leads to lack of oxygen and red blood cells. The problem of classifying anemia is crucial in prescribing an appropriate treatment plan. Unfortunately, it is difficult to accurately diagnose the type of anemia as early as possible in order to properly treat the patient. Such a diagnosis can be complicated by the exponential increase in patient numbers, priority rules set by hospitals, and issues of access to adequate medical professionals. This paper proposes the use of a computer-based model …

Economic Impact Of Land Use Planning (Transit-Oriented Development): A Comparative Analysis, Sam M

West Chester University Doctoral Projects

The problem explored in this mixed-method research is that many cities are unprepared for urban growth, which can only increase poverty and crime. The traditional transportation system is inadequate to support the increase of urbanism; it is responsible for polluting the air, increasing greenhouse gases, and losing thousands of lives annually due to car crashes and road-related accidents. The transportation sector is responsible for 28% of the overall greenhouse gas emissions (Environmental Protection Agency, 2018), and the economic costs of vehicle crashes in the United States totaled $340 billion (Department of Transportation, 2019).

This study aimed to measure how Transit …

Mode Choice For School Trips : A Case Study In Schools Proximate To Mass Transit Stations In Bangkok, Thailand, Phannarithisen Ong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Transit-oriented development (TOD) is essential to promote independent travel and encourage mass transit use among students, which has several advantages for their physical well-being and boosts their confidence in society. Despite a decade of mass rail transit development and TOD development in Bangkok City, cars still queue to drop students at schools, even near transit stations. This presents a paradox: Why do students go to school in proximity to the mass transit system but not use the mass transit system? The high reliance on personal cars will inevitably shape children’s transportation habits in adulthood, significantly impacting the city’s air quality …

From Building To Dwelling: Unfolding Infinity Through Bioregional Fulfillment, Sanjana Bhatnagar

Pitzer Senior Theses

The causes of anthropogenic climate change touch every feature of our modern-day existences. Approaches to sustainability tend to focus on material actions, but unsustainable practices are guided by an ontological orientation of individuality and human exceptionalism. This thesis provides an alternate account of being that decenters individuality through weaving the metaphysics of Fazang of the Huayan School of Mahayana Buddhism with the metaphysics of Martin Heidegger. To encompass the whole of the relational network that constitutes and conditionally defines our existence, I expand Heidegger’s account of locales as relational sites which are put forth solely by humans to an account …

Quantifying The Carbon Stored And Sequestered By The Trees On Pomona College’S Campus, Paola A. Giron-Carson

Scripps Senior Theses

We are experiencing a climate crisis that must be confronted with strategic mitigation. Pomona College contributes to the climate crisis through its emissions for which there is a baseline record. However there is no baseline record of the climate mitigation currently performed by the trees on Pomona’s campus through carbon storage. This study seeks to determine a current baseline quantity of carbon stored and sequestrated by Pomona’s trees as well as possible courses of climate mitigation for Pomona College to take. Initial information gathering was conducted through interviews with several stakeholders. This study was conducted using data collected prior to …

Cold-Formed Steel Strength Predictions For Combined Bending And Torsion, Yu Xia, Robert S. Glauz, Benjamin W. Schafer, Michael Seek, Hannah B. Blum

Engineering Technology Faculty Publications

Locally slender cross-section members, such as cold-formed steel Cee and Zee sections, are susceptible to significant twisting and high warping torsion stresses. Torsion considerations are complicated by whether it is derived as a first-order effect from loading or a second-order effect from instability. The current design for combined bending and torsion interaction has some limitations, including only considering the first yield in torsion and ignoring the cross-section slenderness in torsion. Previous work has derived a simple uniform equation to predict the bimoment capacity and two bimoment strength curves for local and distortional buckling under torsion only. This work is extended …

A Study Of Shading Devices In Modern Architecture For The Hot Humid Climate Of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Leanghong Leu, Chumnan Boonyaputthipong

NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)

Due to global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, for the last decade or longer, there has been a strong focus on reducing energy consumption. Among the many technologies, old and new, available for this purpose, one is a shading device, which is required in a hot and humid climates to protect building interiors from solar radiation that can penetrate the building, increasing the energy demand for the cooling load. Such shades are well-known and have been used widely since the dawn of the modern architectural era. In Phnom Penh, there are different kinds of shading devices in modernist architecture …
