Identifying Optimal Design of Office Buildings Using Harmony Search Optimization Algorithm
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Energy is an expensive and scare resource and the world faces an energy crisis given our dependence on the limited supply of fossil fuels. Similar to other countries, in Qatar, energy consumption and the subsequent production ...
Polyzwitterionic Hydrogels in Engines Based on the Antipolyelectrolyte Effect and Driven by the Salinity Gradient
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, we propose and investigate an original approach to energy conversion based on polyzwitterionic hydrogels, which exhibit an antipolyelectrolyte effect that enables them to swell in salt water and shrink in ...
Energy efficient path planning techniques for UAV-based systems with space discretization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are miniature air-crafts that have proliferated in many military and civil applications. Their affordability allows for tasks to be held with not just one but a fleet of UAVs. One of the problems ...
Interference Aware Inverse EEDBR protocol for Underwater WSNs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The unique characteristics of Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) attracted the research community to explore different aspects of these networks. Routing is one of the most important and challenging function in ...
Optimized long-range corrected density functionals for electronic and optical properties of bare and ligated CdSe quantum dots
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
The reliable prediction of optical and fundamental gaps of finite size systems using density functional theory requires to account for the potential self-interaction error, which is notorious for degrading the description ...

(
Gulf Studies center - College of Arts & Sciences - Qatar University
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The economies of Russia and the Gulf states are dependent on extraction and
export of their hydrocarbon resources. Saudi Arabia and Russia are the worlds
largest oil exporting countries, with Russia and Qatar the largest ...
Integrating variability management in data center networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Data centers have an important role in supporting cloud computing services (i.e. checking social media, sending emails, video conferencing, .). Hence, data centers topologies design became more important and must be able ...
Research frontiers in sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems in a time of climate crisis
(
Elsevier Ltd

Sustainable energy conversion and management processes increasingly require an integrated approach, especially in the context of addressing the climate crisis. This editorial puts forth related research frontiers based on ...
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ...
A light lexicon-based mobile application for sentiment mining of arabic tweets
(
Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Most advanced mobile applications require server-based and communication. This often causes additional energy consumption on the already energy-limited mobile devices. In this work, we provide to address these limitations ...
