Adaptive Sampling
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd , 2015 , Book chapter)Animal populations are often highly grouped. For example, fish can form large, widely scattered schools with few fish in between. Even rare species of animals may form small groups that are hard to find. Applying standard ... -
Adaptive Single-Phase Auto-Reclosing Approach for Shunt Compensated Transmission Lines
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)Single-phase auto-reclosing (AR) scheme is widely employed in extra high voltage (EHV) transmission networks to quench transient faults without completely removing the faulted transmission line (TL). Long EHV TLs are ... -
Adaptive sliding mode control for a general nonlinear multicompartment lung model with input pressure and rate saturation constraints
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2016 , Article)Summary In this article, we develop an output feedback adaptive sliding mode controller for a general multicompartment lung mechanics model with nonlinear resistance and compliance respiratory parameters. Specifically, for ... -
Adaptive Sliding Mode Fault Diagnosis for LPV Systems with Uncertain Scheduling Variables
( IEEE Computer Society , 2018 , Conference Paper)This paper presents an adaptive sliding mode observer for actuator fault diagnosis of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with imperfectly measured scheduling variables due to noisy or faulty measurements. The developed ... -
Adaptive sliding mode observer for sensor fault diagnosis of an industrial gas turbine
( Elsevier Ltd , 2015 , Article)Sensors are one of the crucial components in gas turbines and the failure in sensor measurements can lead to serious problems in maintaining their safety and performance requirements. Our aim in this paper is to develop ... -
Adaptive sliding mode-based diagnosis of actuator faults for LPV systems
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2017 , Article)In this paper, an adaptive sliding mode observer is developed for actuator fault diagnosis of linear parameter-varying systems. The main advantage of the proposed approach is its ability to cope with time-varying distribution ... -
An adaptive step-down procedure for fault variable identification
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)In a process with a large number of process variables (high-dimensional process), identifying which variables cause an out-of-control signal is a challenging issue for quality engineers. In this paper, we propose an adaptive ... -
Adaptive thermal comfort in the different buildings of Darjeeling Hills in eastern India – Effect of difference in elevation
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)Thermal comfort standards are required to provide comfortable indoor condition which has a positive effect on the occupant. However, the Predicted Mean Vote – Percentage People Dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model which is used ... -
Adaptive two-stage inverse sampling design to estimate density, abundance, and occupancy of rare and clustered populations
( Public Library of Science , 2021 , Article)Sampling rare and clustered populations is challenging because of the effort required to find rare units. Heuristically, a practitioner would prefer to discontinue sampling in areas where rare units of interest are apparently ... -
The Adaptive, Pain Sensitive, and Global Symptoms Clusters: Evidence from a Patient-Based Study
( SAGE , 2023 , Article)Objectives: The largest epidemiologic study conducted about painful temporomandibular disorders (pTMDs) to date identified 3 clusters of individuals with similar symptoms—adaptive, pain sensitive, and global symptoms—which ... -
Adding colchicine to tocilizumab in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia: An open-label randomized controlled trial
( Lippincott Williams and Wilkins , 2022 , Article)Introduction: Colchicine acts upstream in the cytokines cascade by inhibiting the nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome while interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor antagonists, such as tocilizumab, block the end result ... -
ADding negative pRESSure to improve healING (the DRESSING trial): a RCT protocol.
( BMJ Publishing Group Limited , 2016 , Article)INTRODUCTION: Obese women are more likely to develop a surgical site infection (SSI) following caesarean section (CS) than non-obese women. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is increasingly being used to reduce SSI ... -
Additional clothing increases heat load in elite female Rugby sevens players
( Human Kinetics Publishers Inc. , 2021 , Article)Purpose: To determine whether elite female rugby sevens players are exposed to core temperatures (Tc) during training in the heat that replicate the temperate match demands previously reported and to investigate whether ... -

( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)ObjectiveTo survey mosquito diversity in the north-eastern area, which includes the most important gas industrial city in Qatar, and to investigate the potential mosquitoes for transmitting diseases. MethodsA study was ... -
Additions to the flora of Qatar
( Qatar University , 1997 , Article)Collections and earlier studies on the plants of Qatar are limited and of recent origin — since the seventies. The latest of these in 1983 (El Amin) listed 300 species belonging to 202 genera in 56 families. At present, a ... -
