Hygiene and industrial safety education in Algeria: An assessment of university curriculum and student perceptions

Process safety education is essential for preparing engineers to manage risks in high-hazard industries. In Algeria, process safety competencies are primarily addressed through Industrial Hygiene and Safety (HSI) programs, although no dedicated process safety specialization curre...

Numerical Investigation of Steel Frames with Corrugated-Web Reduced Beam Sections for Enhanced Progressive Collapse Resistance

Following our earlier work on reduced beam section (RBS) connections, this study examines a new set of corrugated-web cell configurations for steel moment-resisting connections. A finite element model, validated against four experimental investigations reported in the literature,...

Mixed texture descriptors for facial expression recognition

This article proposes a novel approach to recognize facial expression using a combination of three local texture descriptors such as Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Gradient Direction Pattern (GDP) and Local Directional Pattern (LDP). Firstly, we need to perform the pre-process of fa...
