Theoretical analysis of upper-convected Maxwell fluid flow with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model
( Physical Society of the Republic of China , 2017 , Article)This paper discusses the mixed convection three-dimensional boundary layer flow of upper-convected Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) combined with ... -
Utilization of simulated patients to assess diabetes and asthma counseling practices among community pharmacists in Qatar
( Springer Netherlands , 2017 , Article)Background Patient counseling is one of the most important services a pharmacist can provide to patients. Studies have shown that counseling provided by pharmacists may prevent medication related problems and improve ... -
Optimal control of a time-varying system of coupled parabolic-hyperbolic PDEs
( IEEE Computer Society , 2017 , Conference Paper)This paper is devoted to design an optimal linear quadratic controller for a time-varying system of coupled parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Infinite-dimensional state space approach is adopted ... -
Dark soliton scattering in symmetric and asymmetric double potential barriers
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)Motivated by the recent theoretical study of (bright) soliton diode effects in systems with multiple scatterers, as well as by experimental investigations of soliton-impurity interactions, we consider some prototypical ... -
New Multiple-kink solutions and singular-kink-solutions of (2 + 1) - Dimensional coupled burgers system with time variable coefficients
( American Scientific Publishers , 2017 , Article)In this paper, we show that the (2+1)-dimensional coupled Burgers system with time variable coefficients which arise in engineering, chemistry, chemical physics, plasma physics, complex physics and phenomena gives multiple ... -
Production of metal-oxide nanoclusters using inert-gas condensation technique
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)Inert-gas condensation is a novel technique that can be used to produce nanoclusters for different applications. In the present work, dc sputtering combined with inert-gas condensation were used to produce copper oxide ... -
Validation and cultural adaptation of the Arabic versions of the Mini?Mental status examination - 2 and Mini-Cog test
( Dove Medical Press Ltd. , 2017 , Article)Introduction: The elderly population is increasing around the world, and the prevalence of dementia increases with age. Hence, it is expected that the number of people with dementia will increase significantly in the coming ... -
Majorana fermions in a box
( American Physical Society , 2017 , Article)Motivated by potential applications to ultracold matter, we perform a theoretical study of Majorana fermions confined to a finite volume, whose boundary conditions are characterized by self-adjoint extension parameters. ... -
Adsorption study of Pb(II) in aqueous medium using polyaniline nanocomposites
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2017 , Article)This research work presents a simple and effective way for preparation of polyaniline (PANI) nanofiber composites mixed with polyvinyl alcohol or polystyrene (PS) and their application for lead (Pb) removal from an aqueous ... -
Spatiotemporal algebraically localized waveforms for a nonlinear Schrödinger model with gain and loss
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)We consider the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) model incorporating linear and nonlinear gain/loss. First, we describe analytically the dynamical regimes (depending on the gain/loss ... -
Developing a risk prediction model for breast cancer: A Statistical Utility to Determine Affinity of Neoplasm (Sudan-CA Breast)
( BioMed Central Ltd. , 2017 , Article)Background: Breast cancer risk prediction models are widely used in clinical settings. Although most of the well-known models were designed based on data collected from western population, yet they have been utilized for ... -
Some fixed point results on G-metric and Gb-metric spaces
( Warsaw University , 2017 , Article)The purpose of this paper is to prove some xed point results using JS-G-contraction on G-metric spaces, also to prove some xed point results on Gb-complete metric space for a new contraction. Our results extend and improve ... -
Optimal linear–quadratic control of coupled parabolic–hyperbolic PDEs
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)This paper focuses on the optimal control design for a system of coupled parabolic-hypebolic partial differential equations by using the infinite-dimensional state-space description and the corresponding operator Riccati ... -
Mixed EWMA-CUSUM and mixed CUSUM-EWMA modified control charts for monitoring first order autoregressive processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)In practice most processes are known to produce autocorrelated observations. Autocorrelation degrades the performance of control charts by producing frequent false alarms when the process is stable or makes the charts ... -
Flow and heat transfer analysis of Jeffery nano fluid impinging obliquely over a stretched plate
( Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers , 2017 , Article)This study investigates the problem of oblique stagnation point flow using Jeffery nanofluid as a rheological fluid model. Effects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are taken into account. The governing nonlinear partial ... -
Two-stage complete allocation sampling
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2017 , Article)An adaptive sample involves modifying the sampling design on the basis of information obtained during the survey while remaining in the probability sampling framework. Complete allocation sampling is an efficient and easily ... -
Derivation of a new Merton's optimal problem presented by fractional stochastic stock price and its applications
( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article)In this article, a new model of Merton's optimal problem is derived. This derivation is based on stock price presented by fractional order stochastic differential equation. An extension of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman is used ... -
Hydrogen Atom and Equivalent Form of the Levy-Leblond Equation
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2017 , Article)We discuss the equivalent form of the Levy-Leblond equation such that the nilpotent matrices are two-dimensional. We show that this equation can be obtained in the non-relativistic limit of the (2+1)-dimensional Dirac ... -
