Investigating The Use Of 100% Rap In Airfield Mixtures For Contingency Pavement Repair In Remote Regions, Mahmoud Samara

Theses and Dissertations

The goal of this study was to present a procedure for performance-related mix design of 100% recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) mixtures used in repair applications. In addition, the impact of rejuvenators (Corn Oil, Tall Oil, Modified Vegetable Oil, and Aromatic Extract) on the RAP materials' properties were also investigated on both levels (binder, and mixtures). Performance grade testing, frequency sweep test, critical temperature differential (delta Tc), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) tests were conducted to evaluate the rheological and chemical properties of extracted and rejuvenated RAP binders. Afterward, asphalt pavement analyzer (APA) and indirect tensile asphalt cracking (IDEAL-CT) tests …

Network Slicing Based On Real-Time Traffic Classification In Software Defined Network (Sdn) Using Machine Learning, Aya A. El-Serwy, Eman Abdelhalim, Mohamed A. Mohamed

Mansoura Engineering Journal

With the increase in smart devices, performance of traditional networks is limited by this huge amount of generated traffic flows. A scalable and programmable networking solution can be achieved in software defined networks (SDNs) through the separation between the control plane and the data plane. This advantage can allow machine learning (ML) applications to control and automate networks. Concurrently, network slicing (NS) is a promising technology. It is necessary to meet the variety of service needs and requirements. It provides the network as a service (Naas). So, combining NS and ML in SDNs can achieve good network resources management. This …

Cost Optimization Of Water Distribution Networks Without Storage Tanks, G. Ghali, Berge Djebedjian, Abdel-Rahim Dohina, Yahia M. Fouda

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This paper investigates the optimal design of water distribution networks without storage capacity using mathematical optimization. Both micro-genetic algorithm and hydraulic simulation of water network are used to find the optimal diameters of pipes of the network. The single-objective function of the optimization problem is the total cost of the capital costs of the piping network and the pump, and the operating cost of the pump, under the fulfillment of minimum nodal pressure requirements. An optimization methodology, Genetic Algorithm for Pumps (GAPUMPS), is used to minimize energy consumption. The described procedure is demonstrated in four case studies for water distribution …

Performance Evaluation Of Mimo System In Mm Wave Based On Space Time Block Code And Different Modulation Techniques, Youstina Samir, Fayez Zaki, Hala Nafea

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system with millimeter wave frequency is one of the most important technologies in fifth generation of wireless communication systems. This paper presents the performance evaluation for the MIMO system based on Space time block code (STBC) in millimeter Wave frequency range. MIMO-STBC is an efficient technique to solve problems in 5G due to increasing the density of transmitted information and obtain higher data rates with limited bandwidth and power This technique is applied under different modulation schemes (Binary Phase Shift keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift keying (QPSK), Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(M-QAM) and Trellis Modulation Code (TCM) …

Meeting The Challenges Of Myocarditis: New Opportunities For Prevention, Detection, And Intervention-A Report From The 2021 National Heart, Lung, And Blood Institute Workshop, Daniela Čiháková, Yang Shi, Bishow Adhikari, W Patricia Bandettini, Madeleine W Cunningham, Narasimhan Danthi, Matthias G Friedrich, Peter Liu, Lisa Schwartz Longacre, Douglas L Mann, Filip K Swirski, W H Wilson Tang, Guofei Zhou, Leslie T Cooper Jr., Workshop Speakers

2020-Current year OA Pubs

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a workshop of international experts to discuss new research opportunities for the prevention, detection, and intervention of myocarditis in May 2021. These experts reviewed the current state of science and identified key gaps and opportunities in basic, diagnostic, translational, and therapeutic frontiers to guide future research in myocarditis. In addition to addressing community-acquired myocarditis, the workshop also focused on emerging causes of myocarditis including immune checkpoint inhibitors and SARS-CoV-2 related myocardial injuries and considered the use of systems biology and artificial intelligence methodologies to define workflows to identify novel mechanisms of …

Narratives Of Transnational Placemaking: Exploring Migrant Workers’ Hidden Histories Through Memory-Guided City Walks: A Migrant Woman’S Narrative, Monika Palmberger

Narrative Culture

Austria’s so-called guest workers (temporary labor migrants), who immigrated from the former Yugoslavia and Turkey in the 1960s and 1970s, have shaped Vienna for more than half a century, but their histories and present social realities remain politically and socially marginalized. This article uncovers these histories and pays attention to the narrativization of space and its performative dimension—as they emerged in narrative interviews and memory-guided city walks—on the basis of one selected case. It analyzes the intertwining of narratives and places in two ways: how narratives constitute and preserve places, but also how places shape and reinforce narratives about the …

Portland State And The Downtown Portland Plan - 50 Years Later With Ethan Seltzer, Ethan Seltzer

PDXPLORES Podcast

Fifty years ago, the City of Portland developed a plan for the downtown corridor with a radical vision of what a central city could be. The downtown we know today is the result of that plan. In this episode of PDXPLORES, Professor Emeritus Ethan Seltzer discusses the 1972 downtown plan and how Portland State evolved into an urban-serving university alongside the downtown corridor.

The Impact Of The Interim Leadership Experience On Library Middle Managers, Ashley T. Hoffman, Amy E. G. Barker

Faculty Articles

Serving in an interim leadership role can be a great way to gain experience, but can also be stressful, negative, or traumatic for interim library leaders at the middle management level. In this exploratory mixed-methods study, researchers conducted a national survey and semistructured interviews of interim middle managers from public and academic libraries to explore the personal and professional impact of their interim role and recommend ways to improve the interim experience. The study revealed effects on individual well-being such as increased stress, but also increased confidence and positive career outcomes, particularly for librarians with a prior interest in leadership.

Effect Of Change In Nursing Skill Mix On Patient And Organizational Outcomes In One Teaching Hospital, Sharon A. Eck Birmingham

Dissertations

This study examined the effect of a change in nursing skill mix, RN hours, and total caregiver hours on patient satisfaction, adverse occurrences, mortality, length of stay, and cost on 19 nursing units (N = 46, 664 patients) in one 810-bed teaching hospital that reduced nursing skill mix as part of a hospital redesign initiative. A quasi-experimental time series design used existing hospital data from January, 1994 to November, 1997. Data were examined across five time series points in three-month continuous intervals from six months prior to two years after the skill mix change.

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) harbor rich assemblages of malaria parasites, including three species closely related to P. falciparum (sub-genus Laverania), the most malignant human malaria parasite. Here, we characterize the ecology and epidemiology of malaria infection in wild chimpanzee reservoirs. We used molecular assays to screen chimpanzee fecal samples, collected longitudinally and cross-sectionally from wild populations, for malaria parasite mitochondrial DNA. We found that chimpanzee malaria parasitism has an early age of onset and varies seasonally in prevalence. A subset of samples revealed Hepatocystis mitochondrial DNA, with phylogenetic analyses suggesting that Hepatocystis appears to cross species barriers more easily than Laverania. …
