Subzone control method of stratum ventilation for thermal comfort improvement (2018)
Journal Article
Zhang, S., Cheng, Y., Oladokun, M., & Lin, Z. (2019). Subzone control method of stratum ventilation for thermal comfort improvement. Building and Environment, 149, 39-47. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2018.11.041

The conventional control method of a collective ventilation (e.g., stratum ventilation) controls the averaged thermal environment in the occupied zone to satisfy the averaged thermal preference of a group of occupants. However, the averaged thermal e... Read More about Subzone control method of stratum ventilation for thermal comfort improvement.

Optimization of CO2 production rate for firefighting robot applications using response surface methodology (2018)
Journal Article
Ajala, M., Khan, M., Shafie, A., Salami, M., Mohamad Nor, M., & Oladokun, M. (2018). Optimization of CO2 production rate for firefighting robot applications using response surface methodology. Cogent Engineering, 5(1), 1555744. https://doi.org/10.1080/23311916.2018.1555744

A carbon dioxide gas-powered pneumatic actuation has been proposed as a suitable power source for an autonomous firefighting robot (CAFFR), which is designed to operate in an indoor fire environment in our earlier study. Considering the consumption r... Read More about Optimization of CO2 production rate for firefighting robot applications using response surface methodology.

Detection of Osteoporosis from Percussion Responses Using an Electronic Stethoscope and Machine Learning (2018)
Journal Article

Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic bone condition that affects a large proportion of the elderly population around the world, resulting in increased bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. Previous studies had shown that the vibroacoustic respons... Read More about Detection of Osteoporosis from Percussion Responses Using an Electronic Stethoscope and Machine Learning.

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the propagation of magneto-thermo-elastic waves in a rotating monoclinic system. The system is electrically conducting in the presence of an applied magnetic field. A general dispersion relation is obtaine... Read More about Important paradigms of the thermoelastic waves.

Adomian decomposition solution for propulsion of dissipative magnetic Jeffrey biofluid in a ciliated channel containing a porous medium with forced convection heat transfer (2018)
Journal Article
Manzoor, N., Maqbool, K., Beg, O., & Shaheen, S. (2018). Adomian decomposition solution for propulsion of dissipative magnetic Jeffrey biofluid in a ciliated channel containing a porous medium with forced convection heat transfer. Heat Transfer - Asian Research, 48(2), 556-581. https://doi.org/10.1002/htj.21394

Physiological transport phenomena often feature ciliated internal walls. Heat, momentum and multi-species mass transfer may arise and additionally non-Newtonian biofluid characteristics are common in smaller vessels. Blood (containing hemoglobin) or...
