Aiming at meeting future water demands in Palestine, an optimization model is developed to help Palestinian water planners to find the optimal combination of management alternatives that meet future demands of 2040 at minimal costs. The model considers three different options:(A) utilizing existing groundwater from groundwater resources; (B) conser...

Mechanical behavior of nested aluminum structures under lateral and quasi-static loadings has been investigated in current paper. These structures consist of two nested tubes in which the inner tube is located vertically in the horizontal outer tube. The research has been done numerically and experimentally. In the numerical section, the LS-DYNA so...

The development of energy storage paves the way to innovative methods to manage energy at a local scale. Micro grids are a novel kind of electrical grids with local production (renewable and waste energy), local demand, local storage and an Energy Management System (EMS). A wide literature already studies EMS implementations in micro grids but the ...

Clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas system is an efficient targeted genome editing method. Although CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis has been applied successfully in grape, few studies have examined the technique’s efficiency. To optimize CRISPR/Cas9 editing efficiency in Vitis vinifera , we surveyed three key pa...

BackgroundExploration of microbes isolated from north western Himalayas for bioactive natural products.ResultsA strain of Trichoderma lixii (IIIM-B4) was isolated from Bacopa monnieri L. The ITS based rDNA gene sequence of strain IIIM-B4 displayed 99% sequence similarity with different Trichoderma harzianum species complex. The highest score was di...

We present a variant of an order-picking problem where the objective function is to minimize the number of movements performed by automated guided vehicles (AGVs) between the preparation zone and the warehouse. This problem is called the Inventory Movement Optimization Problem (IMOP).In this problem, the warehouse stores containers with multiple it...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic compounds, composed of benzene rings. The objective of this research was to identify the optimum condition for the degradation of PAHs contaminated water using photo-Fenton oxidation process via response surface methodology (RSM). Aqueous solution was prepared and potable water samples were c...

PurposeThe structure should be retained in elastic range under cyclic loading due to earthquake and this can be achieved by addition of energy dissipators. This work represents the effectiveness of two types of metallic dissipaters (X-plate and accordion damper).MethodsIn the first part of the study, the behaviour of the structure considering the d...

Offshore field development relies on multiple optimization techniques targeting a feasible and cost-effective production solution yet are focused on the field itself. While so, advancements in offshore engineering bring increasingly complex subsea infrastructures to depths in the excess of 3,500 m. Many offshore production topsides which currently ...
