Design and simulation of a lithium-ion battery at large C-rates and varying boundary conditions through heat flux distributions
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)In this paper, the heat flux distributions on a prismatic lithium-ion battery at 1C, 2C, 3C and 4C discharge rates under various operating temperatures and boundary conditions (BCs) of 22 °C for air cooling and 5 °C, 15 ... -
Design and simulation of a petcoke gasification polygeneration plant integrated with a bitumen extraction and upgrading facility and net energy analysis
(Elsevier, 2017-09-18)The in-situ extraction of bitumen from oil sands, particularly steam assisted gravity drainage, has been the fastest growing production technology in the industry. Integrated with upgrading operations to enhance the fuel ... -
Design of cancer trials based on progression-free survival with intermittent assessment
(Wiley, 2018-03-26)Therapeutic advances in cancer mean that it is now impractical to performed phase III randomized trials evaluating experimental treatments on the basis of overall survival. As a result, the composite endpoint of progression-free ... -
The design of capacitated intermodal hub networks with different vehicle types
(Elsevier, 2016-04-01)In this study, we allow using alternative transportation modes and different types of vehicles in the hub networks to be designed. The aim of the problem is to determine the locations and capacities of hubs, which ... -
The Design of Intervention Trials Involving Recurrent and Terminal Events
(Springer, 2013)Clinical trials are often designed to assess the effect of therapeutic interventions on the incidence of recurrent events in the presence of a dependent terminal event such as death. Statistical methods based on multistate ... -
Design of Polymeric Materials: Experiences and Prescriptions
(Wiley, 2020-12-23)As process engineering has matured, research interest has shifted towards polymer product quality. In the past 20 years or so, the shift has progressed even further, as interest in polymer product quality has morphed into ... -
Design Strategy of 2D Material Field-Effect Transistors: Engineering the Number of Layers in Phosphorene FETs
(AIP Publishing, 2016-06-07)Thickness or the number of layers in 2D semiconductors is a key parameter to determine the material’s electronic properties and the overall device performance of 2D material electronics. Here we discuss the engineering ... -
Design, characterization, optical and photophysical properties of novel thiophene monomers and polymers containing pyrene moieties linked via rigid and flexible spacers
(Elsevier, 2019-02-01)Herein, we report the synthesis of three novel thiophene monomers connected to pyrene moieties via a flexible oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) spacer with an oxygen -to-pyrene (T1), a flexible OEG spacer with an oxygen ... -
