An Adaptive Neurofuzzy Inference System for the Assessment of Change Order Management Performance in Construction
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2021 , Article)Change order management is a major challenge in the construction business due to the associated disputes, claims, productivity losses, delays, and cost implications. As a result, effective change order management (COM) is ... -
Assessment of delay factors in construction of sport facilities through multi criteria decision making
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The construction of sports facilities widened drastically as the number of sport events gradually increased during the last two decades in the global environment. The requirements of International Federations to host these ... -
Buffer-aided relaying improves both throughput and end-to-end delay
( Springer International Publishing , 2015 , Article)Buffer-aided relaying has recently attracted a lot of attention due to the improvement in the system throughput. However, a side effect usually deemed is that buffering at relay nodes results in the increase of packet ... -

( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)PurposeThis research aims to study whether the time of day impacts the outcome of laparoscopic appendectomy. Peri/post-operative data including type of surgery, operating room time, length of stay, re-hospitalization rates, ... -
Dynamic travel information strategies in advance traveler information systems and their effect on route choices along highways
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Advance Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) inform drivers about traffic incidences and expected travel times/ delays en-route. An online computer study was conducted in Qatar to investigate drivers' willingness ... -
Effective Project Control within the Context of Lean Construction
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Two of the “Lean Thinking” principles relate to managing a project through relationships, shared knowledge and common goals and to removing waste where possible. Success of a project is only possible with the collaboration ... -
Reinforcement Learning-based Control of Signalized Intersections having Platoons
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2022 , Article)Smart transportation cities are based on intelligent systems and data sharing while human drivers generally have limited capabilities and imperfect observations in traffics. The perception of Connected and Autonomous Vehicle ... -
Relocation of intersection crosswalks to nearby mid-block locations: Simulation-based performance evaluation
( Jordan University of Science and Technology , 2021 , Article)This study explores the performance of an alternative crosswalk design, where crosswalks are removed from the intersections and placed at nearby mid-block to reduce conflicts between turning vehicles and pedestrians. Several ... -
Why Construction Projects are delayed in PWA: Problems and Solutions
( Qatar University Press , 2023 , Conference Paper)Construction is, by its nature, complex and uncertain. Changes and variations are inherently part of many construction projects, which require serious efforts to overcome. Project delay is a construction problem resulting ...
