Evaluation Of Ferry Based Opportunistic Message Dissemination With Deterministic Inter Contact Times
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-07-19)Opportunistic Networks are characterized by intermittent connectivity and volatile topology. In such a network scenario, traditional Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) routing protocols cannot work efficiently. Hence, a novel ... -
EVALUATION OF FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER (FRP) STRENGTHENING FOR DETERIORATED BRIDGE BENT CAPS
(2018-08-13)Deterioration of aging highway bridges has been a serious concern in the U. S. A. Almost 39% percent of all bridges in the country have passed their 50-year design life, and approximately 9% of these bridges are structurally ... -
EVALUATION OF FIRE-AFFECTED CONCRETE STRUCTURES BY NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHODS
(2019-12-06)Fire hazard on concrete structures has been a significant concern around the world. After a fire hazard, the crucial part is the evaluation of the fire-affected concrete for strengthening or demolition. For evaluation of ... -
EVALUATION OF FOOD WASTE DIVERSION POTENTIAL AND ECONOMICS OF USING FOOD WASTE DEHYDRATORS
(2016-08-12)According to US EPA (2013), food waste is the second largest component (14.6%) of MSW composition in the US, preceded only by paper. Apart from the negative environmental impacts of food waste through methane and leachate ... -
Evaluation of Geotechnical Parameters of Soil Using Electrical Resistivity Imaging
(2021-12-20)Electric resistivity imaging (ERI) is an effective non-destructive and rapid measuring way of obtaining continuous soil subsurface resistivity profiles. An ERI technique can be used to identify moisture variations and soil ... -
EVALUATION OF HTML TAG SUSCEPTIBILITY TO STATISTICAL FINGERPRINTING FOR USE IN CENSORSHIP EVASION
(2016-12-08)The ability to speak freely has always been a source of conflict between rulers and the people over which they exert power. This conflict usually takes the form of State-sponsored censorship with occasional instances of ... -
Evaluation Of ISO 18000-6 Type C Class 1 Generation 2 RFID Protocol Artifacts
(Electrical Engineering, 2009-09-16)In this thesis, we have identified the effect on the performance of the RFID system when ISO 18000-6 Class 1 Gen 2 RFID protocol's parameters are changed. The protocol parameters we considered changing for the conformance ... -
An Evaluation Of Large Diameter Steel Water Pipelines
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)Steel water pipelines, as a part of America's underground infrastructure, play a key role in maintaining the quality of life and well-being of communities. Thousands of miles of steel water pipelines make up a huge and ... -
Evaluation Of Lightweight Geofoam For Mitigating Bridge Approach Slab Settlements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)The bump at the end of a bridge infrastructure is one of the frequent problems found in Texas and other states. Transportation agencies spend millions of dollars annually to repair the bump problem. The major cause of the ... -
EVALUATION OF LONG TERM DURABILITY IN CONCRETE WITH EXTERNAL PRE-SATURATED CFRP LAMINATE
(2020-07-17)Many studies have investigated the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps to strengthen structural members, but there is limited literature on the application of presaturated CFRP wraps on reinforced concrete ... -
EVALUATION OF MODEL UNCERTAINTIES IN LRFD CALIBRATION PROCESS OF DRILLED SHAFT AXIAL DESIGN
(2019-08-12)The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released a policy in 2000 that required all new federally funded bridges to be designed using the AASHTO LRFD specifications by October 2007. The transition from ASD to LRFD posed ... -
Evaluation Of Physico-mechanical Properties Of Clayey Soils Using Electrical Resistivity Imaging Technique
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)Resistivity imaging (RI) is a promising approach to obtaining continuous profile of soil subsurface. This method offers simple technique to identify moisture variation and heterogeneity of the investigated area. However, ... -
Evaluation of Plant Root on the Performance of Evapotranspiration (ET) Cover System
(2017-12-07)The performance of an evapotranspiration (ET) cover for a landfill exceeds that of a conventional landfill final cover. Its low percolation and high evapotranspiration rely on the properties of unsaturated soils, the energy ... -
Evaluation Of Project Delivery Methods For Trenchless Construction
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)The need of today's construction whether it be residential, commercial or infrastructure is to cut costs while maintaining schedule, scope, and delivering the expected quality. This realization has brought to light the ... -
