A hyperbolic penalty method to solve structured convex minimization problems
( Institute of Advanced Science Extension (IASE) , 2020 , Article)This paper presents a decomposition algorithm based on the smooth hyperbolic penalty, which leads to a scheme suitable for parallelized computations. The proposed algorithm can be seen as a separable version of the earlier ... -
Changes in the white–black house value distribution gap from 1997 to 2005
( Elsevier , 2012 , Article)This paper examines the white–black house value gap across the entire value distribution. Instead of using standard conditional mean analysis and decomposition methods (via OLS regression), we estimate and decompose the ... -
Chelation-assisted soft-template synthesis of ordered mesoporous zinc oxides for low concentration gas sensing
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)Semiconductor zinc oxides with a high surface area and porosity offer great potential for their widespread applications, particularly in the areas of optoelectronic devices and solid-state gas sensors owing to their ... -
Distributed in-network processing and resource optimization over mobile-health systems
( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)Advances in wireless and mobile communication technologies has promoted the development of Mobile-health (m-health) systems to find new ways to acquire, process, transport, and secure the medical data. M-health systems ... -
Estimating and decomposing changes in the White–Black homeownership gap from 2005 to 2011
( SAGE Publications , 2015 , Article)This study evaluates the effects of the recent US housing bust on the White–Black homeownership gap by estimating and decomposing the changes in the distribution of the gap between 2005 and 2011. Our analysis shows that ... -
Predicting litter decomposition rate for temperate forest tree species by the relative contribution of green leaf and litter traits in the Indian Himalayas region
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)We examined eight green leaf traits (leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf dry matter, leaf water content, leaf carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and chlorophyll) and eight litter traits (cellulose, lignin, litter carbon, ... -
Re-parameterization reduces irreducible geometric constraint systems
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)You recklessly told your boss that solving a non-linear system of size n (n unknowns and n equations) requires a time proportional to n, as you were not very attentive during algorithmic complexity lectures. So now, you ... -
Systemic framework of competencies of 21st century technical and engineering human resource: A development case for a knowledge based Economy in Qatar
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)The required talent of 21st century engineering and technology human resource is significantly different and more complex than what has been needed ever before. Numerous relevant studies have been conducted during the last ... -
The Catalytic Thermo-oxidative Decomposition of Glimepiride
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)In this study, the thermal decomposition of glimepiride, a common antidiabetic drug, was analyzed in the presence of N2 and O2 and various metal oxide catalysts. The analysis was conducted using TGA. The results showed ... -
Thermophysical properties of multifunctional glass fibre reinforced polymer composites incorporating phase change materials
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)In this study novel multifunctional composites consisting of glass fibre/epoxy/microencapsulated phase change materials (micro-PCMs) were prepared and their thermophysical properties have been investigated. Test results ...
