Effect of Lorentz forces on forced-convection nanofluid flow over a stretched surface
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Magnetic nanofluid hydrothermal analysis over a plate is studied that includes consideration of thermal radiation. The Runge-Kutta (RK4) method is utilized to get solution of ODEs which are obtained from similarity solution. ...
Using the theory of planned behavior to predict the use of an upcoming public transportation service in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Public transportation systems play a major role in accommodating public travel needs. To accommodate the need for public transportation in Qatar, a metro network is currently under construction. However, commuters have ...
Temporal variation in walking behavior: An empirical study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This study provides a baseline for understanding the variation in walking behavior with respect to seasonal conditions in a hot weather country in the Arabian Gulf region. A busy neighborhood with different land-use patterns ...
A time–frequency based approach for generalized phase synchrony assessment in nonstationary multivariate signals
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This paper proposes a new approach to estimate the phase synchrony among nonstationary multivariate signals using the linear relationships between their instantaneous frequency (IF) laws. For cases where nonstationary ...
Effects of time-lagged meteorological variables on attributable risk of leishmaniasis in central region of Afghanistan
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Leishmaniasis remains one of the world's most neglected vector-borne diseases, affecting predominantly poor communities mainly in developing countries. Previous studies have shown that the distribution and ...
Secure smart contract-enabled control of battery energy storage systems against cyber-attacks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) are an integral part of a sustainable and resilient smart grid. The security of such critical cyber-physical infrastructure is considered as a major priority for both industry and ...
Unleashing the secure potential of the wireless physical layer: Secret key generation methods
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Report)
Within the paradigm of physical layer security, a physical layer characteristic is used as a common source of randomness to generate the secret key. This key is then used to encrypt the data to hide information from ...
Bayesian inference for Pr ( Y<X ) in the exponential distribution based on records
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
We consider Bayesian estimation of the stress–strength reliability based on record values. The estimators are derived under the squared error loss function in the one parameter as well as two-parameter exponential ...
Comprehensive analysis of cancers of unknown primary for the biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) accounts for approximately 3% of all malignancies. Avoiding immune destruction is a major cancer characteristic and therapies aimed at immune checkpoint blockade are in use for ...
On national flags and language tags: Effects of flag-language congruency in bilingual word recognition
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
French-English bilinguals performed a generalized lexical decision experiment with mixed lists of French and English words and pseudo-words. In Experiment 1, each word/pseudo-word was superimposed on the picture of the ...
