Construction of a Bacillus thuringiensis genetically-engineered strain harbouring the secreted Cry1Ia delta-endotoxin in its crystal
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2011 , Article)
Unlike other Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins, Cry1 Ia does not form a crystal since it is a secreted delta-endotoxin. We have engineered a Cry1 Iac chimeric protein by substituting the C-terminal part of Cry1 Ia by the ...
An automatic time-frequency procedure for interference suppression by exploiting their geometrical features
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an adaptive method for interference suppression in the Wigner-Ville distribution. The structure of the artifacts in the Wigner-Ville distribution has been analyzed to optimally mask the signal Wigner-Ville ...
Image quality metrics based multifocus image fusion
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
We describe an innovative methodology for block based multifocus
image fusion in the spatial domain. The main idea is
to use blind or no reference blur metrics for image fusion applications.
Two blur quality metrics ...
Estimating the number of components of a multicomponent nonstationary signal using the short-term time-frequency Rényi entropy
(
Springer
, 2011 , Article)
The time-frequency Rényi entropy provides a measure of complexity of a nonstationary multicomponent signal in the time-frequency plane. When the complexity of a signal corresponds to the number of its components, then this ...
Overcoming the production limitations of Photorhabdus temperata ssp. temperata strain K122 bioinsecticides in low-cost medium
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
For low-cost production of Photorhabdus temperata ssp. temperata strain K122 bioinsecticide, a cheap complex medium was optimized. Diluted seawater was used as the source of micronutrients, especially sodium chloride, ...
Accelerometer-based fetal movement detection
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Monitoring fetal wellbeing is a compelling problem in modern obstetrics. Clinicians have become increasingly aware of the link between fetal activity (movement), well-being, and later developmental outcome. We have recently ...
Kalman filter-based time-varying cortical connectivity analysis of newborn EEG
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Multivariate Granger causality in the timefrequency
domain as a representation of time-varying cortical
connectivity in the brain has been investigated for the adult
case. This is, however, not the case in newborns as ...
Urdu in Devanagari: Shifting orthographic practices and Muslim identity in Delhi
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2011 , Article)
In sociolinguistics, Urdu and Hindi are considered to be textbook examples
of digraphia—a linguistic situation in which varieties of the same language
are written in different scripts. Urdu has traditionally been written ...
Regression estimator under inverse sampling to estimate arsenic contamination
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2011 , Article)
The fate of arsenic introduced to the environment as a result of the natural and human activities is an important issue. Surveys of arsenic typically involve sampling from a large area. Measuring arsenic concentrations in ...
Use of CAPI in surveys data collection SESRI experience
(
The Social and Economic Survey Research Institute, Qatar University
, 2011 , Presentation)
In this presentation, we explained the technical challenges and how SESRI solved them to conduct successful CAPI surveys; also, we showed how SESRI dealt with the Qatari society in particular to make the interviewing ...
