Inference in simple regression for the intercept utilizing prior information on the slope
(
Wayne State University
, 2011 , Article)
Shrinkage type estimators are developed for the intercept parameter of a simple linear regression model and the case when it is suspected a priori that the slope parameter is equal to some specific value is considered. ...
Associations of lifestyle and dietary habits with hyperlipidemia in Lebanon
(
OAE Publishing Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dietary and lifestyle habits on several blood lipid parameters in the Lebanese population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study for 2,000 individuals, of whom ...
Perspectives and attitudes of jordanian medical and paramedical students toward surrogate pregnancy
(
Taylor & Francis Group
, 2018 , Article)
Purpose: This study aims at investigating the perspectives of Jordanian medical and paramedical students on surrogate pregnancy. Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study design was used. The sample consisted ...
Implementation and evaluation of a patient safety course in a problem-based learning program
(2017 , Article)
Background: Since the development of the WHO patient safety curriculum guide, there has been insufficient reporting regarding the implementation and evaluation of patient safety courses in undergraduate problem-based ...
Towards commercialization of self-healing technology in epoxy coatings
(
National Assoc. of Corrosion Engineers International
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This work is focused on developing viable self-healing coatings especially considering the viability of the coating in a commercial context. With this in mind, finding low cost healing agents, with satisfactory healing and ...
Encapsulation of tung oil for self-healing coatings in corrosion applications
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Encapsulation of tung oil for use in self-healing applications using urea-formaldehyde as the shell was performed via in-situ polymerization. Microcapsules ranging from 100 to 250 μm with a shell wall thickness of 1.7–2.6 ...
Zero-bias photocurrents in highly-disordered networks of Ge and Si nanowires
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Semiconducting nanowire (NW) devices have garnered attention in self-powered electronic and optoelectronic applications. This work explores and exhibits, for the first time for visible light, clear evidence of the zero-biased ...
Photoresponse of silicon with asymmetric area contacts
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
We report on high performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photosensors based on asymmetric metal pad areas. The reported devices require a single-step metal deposition, and exhibit large photo response even under ...
A comparison of the redox properties of vanadia-based mixed oxides
(
American Chemical Society (ACS)
, 2015 , Article)
The thermodynamics of oxidation and reduction were investigated for a series of vanadium-containing oxides, including CeVO4, LaVO 4, ZrV2O7, Mg3(VO4) 2, CrVO4, AlVO4, and V2O 5, in the temperature range between 873 and 973 ...
Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ...
