(2019)We extend the two-centre wave-packet convergent-close approach to proton scattering on excited states of hydrogen, collisions of bare ions (He2+ and C6+) with hydrogen, and proton collisions with the helium atom and He+ ...
-
(2018)The Thermal Concept Evaluation instrument was used to investigate conceptual understanding of thermal physics concepts of 742 Saudi female high school students’ before and after teaching intervention. Prior to the ...
-
(2019)Tracking clouds with a sky camera within a very short horizon below thirty seconds can be a solution to mitigate the effects of sunlight disruptions. A Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter and a Cardinalised ...
-
(2019)Novel fluorine-18 labelled luminescent rhenium tricarbonyl complexes were synthesised to test their utility as agents for position emission tomography (PET) and optical hybrid imaging. These experiments lead to the discovery ...
-
(2019)We demonstrate a method of reinforcement learning that uses training in simulation. Our system generates an estimate of the potential reward and danger of each action as well as a measure of the uncertainty present in ...
-
(2019)Soil bio-cementation via microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) process generates calcite in the soil matrix through ureolysis by bacteria. This research has successfully produced effective calcite crystals; ...
-
(2018)Due to its thermodynamic, hydrogen specific weight, and volumetric properties, NaAlH4 is a promising candidate to store hydrogen for vehicular applications. However, NaAlH4 suffers from slow hydrogen absorption/desorption ...
-
(2019)This thesis proposes an improved algorithm attributed to its abilities to deal with non-Gaussian distributed and nonlinear data and missing measurements. It was formulated through a modification on locally weighted partial ...
-
(2019)This research investigates the axial behaviour of lightweight concrete wall through experimental and numerical studies, and leads to the development of two equations which can predict wall axial capacity with better ...
-
(2019)I compared different computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical models for diesel particulate matter (DPM) simulation and validated the simulation data with the onsite measurement. Based on this, I built the optimum ...
