The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities from a Qatari Human Rights Perspective
(2016 , Presentation)
For a long time disability was considered a question of social development, outside the responsibilities of official human rights institutions. Over the last three decades this approach has evolved, and disability is now ...
Green operator cooperation for radio frequency transmission minimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The increasing demand for reliable mobile services with faster communications speed requires high capital investment in the radio access networks. This leads to enormous energy consumption, high operational costs (OPEX), ...
Morphology and properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) filled with mesoporous silica (MCM-41) prepared by melt compounding
(
Springer
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports on the morphologies of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/mesoporous silica (MCM-41) composites prepared by melt compounding with various MCM-41 contents in the range of 0.1–5 wt%, the interactions between ...
Influence of blending and blend morphology on the thermal properties and crystallization behaviour of PLA and PCL in PLA/PCL blends
(
Springer
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we reported on the influence of PCL on the cold crystallization behaviour of PLA in different PLA/PCL blends, and on the influence of blending with PLA on the PCL crystallization behaviour and kinetics. The ...
Advancement and new perspectives of using formulated reactive amine blends for post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technologies
(
KeAi Communications Co.
, 2017 , Article Review)
Chemical absorption using amine-based solvents have proven to be the most studied, as well as the most reliable and efficient technology for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from exhaust gas streams and synthesis gas in all ...
Propagation of Floquet-Bloch shear waves in viscoelastic composites: analysis and comparison of interface/interphase models for imperfect bonding
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2017 , Article)
The phononic band structure of waves, which travel though composites, results from the geometric and mechanical properties of the materials and from the interaction of the different constituents. In this article, we study ...

Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract: Haematite (?-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes and morphologies were prepared from two different iron precursors (iron acetate (A) and iron nitrate (N)) using the sol�gel technique, through a reaction ...
Theoretical investigation of the oxygen bond dissociation energies in graphene oxide
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The theoretical vibrational spectrum, oxygen bond dissociation energies (BDE), atomic charges and hydrogen bonding has been investigated using wB97XD/6-31g(d) method of calculation. The order of BDE for C-O comes in the ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, comparative investigations of the effects of CNTs and ?-Al2O3 on the physicochemical properties and catalytic performances of Co based nano-catalyst during FTS have been presented. Catalysts were prepared ...
Fuzzy Logic-Based Model to Predict the Impact of Flow Rate and Turbidity on the Performance of Multimedia Filters
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper uses fuzzy logic-based models to predict and evaluate the performance of multimedia filters utilized in wastewater treatment. A fuzzy logic-based model is constructed and trained to predict the operating time ...
