Drafting Human Trafficking Legislation: Binding Rules and Guiding Rules
( Carolina Academic Press , 2020 , Book chapter)In this article, I devote more focused and in-depth attention to a subject area that has not received the level of attention it deserves-the first topic, which distinguishes between binding conventions and soft principles ... -
Drag On Non-Spherical Particles In Non-Newtonian Fluids
( Qatar University , 1996 , Article)The drag coefficient (CD ) was determined for three different non-spherical particles (cubes, rectangles and cylinders) of different sizes falling in two different non-Newtonian fluids (glycerol and polymer - paraffin ... -
Drained Peak and Residual Interface Shear Strengths of Fine-Grained Soils for Pipeline Geotechnics
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2019 , Article)This study presents the results of interface torsional ring shear tests conducted at intermediate normal stress levels that are usually prevalent at soil-pipeline interfaces under near-shore conditions. Four normally ... -
Drained residual shear strength at effective normal stresses relevant to soil slope stability analyses
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)An extensive torsional ring shear testing program has been conducted to measure the drained residual shear strength of soils at the wide range of effective normal stress (10 to 700 kPa) usually mobilized in reactivated and ... -
Drained residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low to medium effective normal stresses: Analyses and Applications
(2016 , Master Thesis)A laboratory research program was undertaken to study the large-strain shear strength characteristics of fine-grained soils under low effective normal stresses (~3 to 6 kPa). Soils that cover a wide range of plasticity and ... -
The drama of critical discourse: the case of Richard II
( Qatar University , 1995 , Article)Contrasting them with the poet-in-a poet, Harold Bloom says that "Critics may be wary of origins or consign them disdainfully to those carrion-eaters of scholarship." That in literary criticism there is an abundance of ... -
Drastic difference between hole and electron injection through the gradient shell of Cd: XSeyZn1- xS1- y quantum dots
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2017 , Article)Ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy was used to investigate the hole injection in CdxSeyZn1−xS1−y gradient core–shell quantum dot (CSQD) sensitized p-type NiO photocathodes. A series of CSQDs with a wide range of shell ... -
Drawing lessons from PISA: Qatar’s use of PISA results
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Worldwide, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has emerged as a valid and reliable benchmark for assessing students’ performance and for gaining significant influence over educational policy and ... -
Drift optimization of high-rise buildings in earthquake zones
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2011 , Article)This paper presents a Drift Design Structural Model (DDSM) for the design optimization of high-rise buildings in seismic zones. The model is formulated as a Generalized Single Degree of Freedom System subjected to equivalent ...
