Visualization of high dimensional data aims to eliminate the difficulties and efforts of working with tabular and abstract data forms. One of the critical challenges for visualization methods is the dimension arrangement ...

A distributed random algorithm for controlling electrical power flow after a failure in (or attack on) a power transmission grid is proposed. The aim is to minimize load shedding and to avoid a cascaded failure in the ...

This paper presents a developed prototype of an automated robotic soil excavator. This prototype has four degrees of freedom (4 DoF) which consists of a series of four rigid links that are connected by four revolute joints ...

Buildings are designed with the aim of providing a comfortable living environment for the occupants. The comfort factors include thermal, visual and acoustical comfort as well as the indoor air quality. The indoor environment ...

The Palestinian construction sector is one of the key economic sectors and is the main force motivating the national economy. However, it is complex and affected by many constraints and obstacles that influence its outcomes. ...

This paper presents an assessment of the urban water security in a severe water stress area using a semi-quantitative risk-based approach. Water security indicators are selected according to the recommendations of ...

This paper presents analysis of water security using risk analysis. It contributes to an enhanced understanding of the water security issue through creating indicators and their use in the determination of the water ...

The main aim of this study was to perform a parametric study for treating a model dye containing wastewater (i.e., methylene blue, MB) using locally available biomass wastes in Palestine as the adsorbent. Eight different ...

Receding Horizon Control (RHC) or model pre-dictive control (MPC) is an attractive control method which can treat large number of nonlinear state and control variables at same time in a certain system. In nonlinear RH C, ...
