Effects of ambient climate and three warming treatments on fruit production in an alpine, subarctic meadow community
( Wiley , 2021 , Article)Premise Climate change is having major impacts on alpine and arctic regions, and inter‐annual variations in temperature are likely to increase. How increased climate variability will impact plant reproduction is ... -
Characteristics-based model predictive control of selective catalytic reduction in diesel-powered vehicles
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)In heavy-duty diesel exhaust systems, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOx to nitrogen to meet environmental regulations. Diesel exhaust after-treatment involves a set of components that are best ... -
Inference for multiple linear regression model with extended skew normal errors
( ISOSS PUBLICATIONS , 2016 , Article)This paper presents the estimation of the parameters of the multiple linear regression model when errors are assumed to follow the independent extended skew normal distribution. The estimators of the regression parameters ... -
Asymptotic behaviour of contraction non-autonomous semi-flows in a Banach space: Application to first-order hyperbolic PDEs
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Conference Paper)The asymptotic behaviour is studied for a class of non-autonomous infinite-dimensional non-linear dissipative systems. This is achieved by using the concept of contraction semi-flow, which is a generalization of contraction ... -
A new LQP alternating direction method for solving variational inequality problems with separable structure
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)We presented a new logarithmic-quadratic proximal alternating direction scheme for the separable constrained convex programming problem. The predictor is obtained by solving series of related systems of non-linear equations ... -
Mass problems and density
( World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd , 2016 , Article)Recall that Ew is the lattice of Muchnik degrees of nonempty effectively compact sets in Euclidean space. We solve a long-standing open problem by proving that Ew is dense, i.e. satisfies {equation presented}. Our proof ... -
Hydromagnetic couple-stress nanofluid flow over a moving convective wall: OHAM analysis
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)This communication presents the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a couple-stress nanofluid over a convective moving wall. The flow dynamics are analyzed in the boundary layer region. Convective cooling phenomenon combined ... -
Structural evaluation, preliminary in vitro stability and electrochemical behavior of apatite coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)Medical-grade alloys, such as Ti-6Al-4V, have been used for fixation of fractured bone and for the total replacement of defective bone. Their bioactivity could be improved by applying a bone-like apatite layer onto their ... -
Invariants of third‐order ordinary differential equations y′′′=f(x,y,y′,y′′) via point transformations
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2016 , Article)A new systematic method to find the relative invariant differentiation operators is developed. We incorporate this new approach with Lie's infinitesimal method to study the general class y′′′ = f(x, y, y′, y′′) under general ... -
Dark solitons near potential and nonlinearity steps
( American Physical Society , 2016 , Article)We study dark solitons near potential and nonlinearity steps and combinations thereof, forming rectangular barriers. This setting is relevant to the contexts of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (where such steps can be ... -
PbS/CdS heterojunction quantum dot solar cells
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Article)The present work investigates the effects of combination of lead sulfide PbS quantum dots and cadmium sulfide CdS nanoparticles (NPs), with n-type and p-type semiconductors, on the photovoltaic performance of heterojunction ... -
Assessing general education learning outcomes at Qatar University
( Emerald Group Publishing Ltd. , 2016 , Article)The purpose of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of a new general education program at Qatar University (QU) in achieving English writing and critical thinking outcomes. Design/methodology/approach Collegiate ... -
Antioxidant and antihypertensive properties of phenolic-protein complexes in extracted protein fractions from Nigella damascena and Nigella arvensis
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)The study involved the investigation of the antioxidant and antihypertensive properties of the phenolic–protein complexes obtained from isolated protein fractions from Nigella damascena and Nigella arvensis. Protein fractions ... -
Higher order self-adjoint operators with polynomial coefficients
( Texas State University - San Marcos , 2017 , Article)We study algebraic and analytic aspects of self-adjoint operators of order four or higher with polynomial coefficients. As a consequence, a systematic way of constructing such operators is given. The procedure is applied ... -

Linear profile monitoring using EWMA structure under ranked set schemes
( Springer London , 2017 , Article)In many manufacturing processes, study variable is not the only quality characteristic, but there may exist some explanatory variable(s) that are associated with the study variable. This association may be linear or nonlinear ... -
The theta-complete graph Ramsey number R(θn K5) = 4n - 3 for n = 6 and n≥ 10
( Charles Babbage Research Centre , 2017 , Article)For any two graphs F1 and F2, the graph Ramsey number r(F1, F2) is the smallest positive integer N with the property that every graph of at least N vertices contains F1 or its complement contains F2 as a subgraph. In this ... -
Preliminary Test Estimation of the Threshold in the Two-Parameter Exponential Distribution Based on Records and Minimax Regret Significance Levels
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)SYNOPTIC ABSRACT: We consider preliminary test estimation of the threshold parameter of the two-parameter exponential distribution using record-breaking data. We use the minimax regret criterion on the risk function of the ... -
Synthesis and characterization of Cu-doped TiO2 thin films produced by the inert gas condensation technique
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2017 , Conference Paper)The bandgap of thin films Cu-doped TiO2 nanoclusters prepared using the inert gas condensation (IGC) technique have been investigated at various Cu contents. The samples were characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS and UV-visible ... -
Vacuum structure and PT -symmetry breaking of the non-Hermetian (iϕ3) theory
( American Physical Society , 2017 , Article)In this work, we study the PT -symmetric (iϕ3) theory using the effective action formalism. To test the accuracy of the used technique, we apply it first to the PT -symmetric (−ϕ4) theory, where we reproduce the same results ...
