Gear Tooth Crack Detection Using Modal Analysis
( IEEE , 2022 , Conference Paper)This paper aims to propose an experimental method to detect and quantify the existence of cracks in spur gear teeth using modal analysis. Frequency Response Functions FRFs obtained analytically in previous work are considered ... -
Modelling wave behaviour of elastic helical waveguides
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Conference Paper)Curved and straight waveguides are ubiquitous in engineering structures. For modelling these structures in the mid-frequency and high-frequency range, the knowledge of the wave behaviour can be greatly beneficial. This ... -
Libya's Arab spring: The long road from revolution to democracy
( SAGE , 2012 , Article)This article presents a critical account of Libya's incipient democratization, contextualizing it within the Arab Spring élan. This first line of inquiry is twofold: it critically assesses the meaning of democratization ... -
The impact of the Arab spring on the gulf cooperation council
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)It is apposite to interrogate the notion of ‘monarchical exceptionalism’ when testing the idea that the ‘Arab Spring’ has not affected the so-called ‘ruling bargain’ in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The Arab Spring ... -
Decoding the functional role of extracellular vesicles in hepatocellular carcinoma: implications in clinical theranostics
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer in adults, the sixth most commonly diagnosed neoplasia, and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite tangible ... -
Behaviour and associated determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and advocacy: a nationwide survey of pharmacy professionals in Qatar
( Taylor and Francis Group , 2023 , Article)Background: Vaccine hesitancy poses a global challenge and is acknowledged to be a complex, multifactorial phenomenon. Of particular concern is hesitancy among health professionals, as this may also impact their advocacy ... -
Towards a ‘democratic knowledge’ turn? Knowledge production in the age of the Arab Spring
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)This contribution (and the special issue as a whole) marks a modest attempt to initiate an investigation into what is called here ‘democratic knowledge’. This is done with special reference to the Arab Maghrib (in this ... -
Media-ting democratic literacies

Writing democracy: An end of author ‘turn’?: From ‘fake news’ to ‘fake democratization'
( Intellect Publishers , 2018 , Article)This article problematizes questions of ontology and epistemology in the context of the study of norm-making primarily within academia (with special reference to democratization) and secondarily within media. It showcases ... -
Regionalism in Crisis: GCC Integration without Democracy
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)At the core of “disembedded regionalism” in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is an incapacity to foster more representative forms of politics that are responsive to citizens. Instead, elite-to-elite relations are a salient ... -
The GCC in Crisis: Explorations of ‘Normlessness’ in Gulf Regionalism
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)In a field that is so loosely theorised, an investigation into intra-GCC conflict is both apposite and challenging. Empirically, interventions by Gulf states have proliferated across the GCC and MENA since 2011. This Special ... -
Experimental validation of nine-level switched-capacitor inverter topology with high voltage gain
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2021 , Article)This paper proposes a new switched-capacitor nine-level (9L) inverter with reduced switch count. In the proposed topology, floating capacitor (FC) is employed as a voltage booster, and it does not need any additional sensors ... -
Vibration characteristics of microplates with GNPs-reinforced epoxy core bonded to piezoelectric-reinforced CNTs patches
( Techno-Press , 2021 , Article)In the current study, vibration characteristics of a three-layered rectangular microplate with Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs)-reinforced Epoxy core which is fully bonded to piezoelectric-reinforced single-walled Carbon ... -
Structural performance and moment redistribution of basalt FRC continuous beams reinforced with basalt FRP bars
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)This study investigated the structural performance and moment redistribution of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) continuous beams reinforced with basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars. A total of 10 reinforced ... -
Dispersion of waves characteristics of laminated composite nanoplate
( Techno-Press , 2021 , Article)The current work fills a gap of a small-scale study on wave propagation behavior of symmetric, antisymmetric, and quasi-isotropic cross/angle-plies laminated composite nanoplates. The governing equations are derived through ... -
Mechanical behavior of resin pin-reinforced composite sandwich panels under quasi-static indentation and three-point bending loading conditions
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2021 , Article)This paper reports the mechanical behavior of resin pin-reinforced composite sandwich panels made from polyvinyl chloride core and glass/epoxy face sheets under indentation of a hemispherical indenter and three-point bending ... -
Assessment of thermal comfort indices in an open air-conditioned stadium in hot and arid environment
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Thermal comfort indices are vital tools when assessing outdoor thermal comfort in hot and arid environments. Selecting a representative thermal comfort index for outdoor environments is challenging. This paper presents a ... -
The effects of loaded plyometrics and short sprints in u19 male soccer players in Tunisia
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)We investigated adding 8 weeks of bi-weekly loaded plyometric and short sprints (LPaSS) training into training for under 19 (U19) soccer players. An experimental group (EG, n = 18, age: 17.5 ± 0.58 years, body mass: 67.4 ... -
A comprehensive review on the application of bioethanol/biodiesel in direct injection engines and consequential environmental impact
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article Review)Bioethanol/biodiesel are deemed a highly suitable alternative to conventional fuels in the near future due to their versatility in production techniques and operability. This paper examines the engine performance and ... -
Multi-descriptor random sampling for patch-based face recognition
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)While there has been a massive increase in research into face recognition, it remains a challenging problem due to conditions present in real life. This paper focuses on the inherently present issue of partial occlusion ...
