Cross-national differences in special education coverage: An empirical analysis
(
Council for Exceptional Children
, 2014 , Article)
This study investigated the role of educational and socioeconomic factors in explaining differences in national special education coverage. Data were derived from several international and governmental sources, targeting ...
Up and away: A visually-controlled easy-to-deploy wireless UAV Cyber-Physical testbed
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have the promise of presenting the next evolution in computing with potential applications that include aerospace, transportation, and various automation systems. These applications motivate ...
Implementation of An Ambulatory Pharmacist-Managed Anticoagulation Clinic In Qatar: Development of A New Service and A Pilot On Patients' Satisfaction and Quality of Life
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Objectives
Pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinics have been shown to improve the quality of life (QoL) of patients receiving anti-clot treatment. The first pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic in Qatar was ...
ConProve: A conceptual prover system
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
ConProve is an automated prover for propositional logic. It takes, as an input, a set of propositional formulas and proves whether a goal holds or not. ConProve converts each formula to its corresponding Truth Table Binary ...
Classification ensemble to improve medical named entity recognition
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
An accurate Named Entity Recognition (NER) is important for knowledge discovery in text mining. This paper proposes an ensemble machine learning approach to recognise Named Entities (NEs) from unstructured and informal ...
Opportunistic spectrum sharing in relay-assisted cognitive systems with imperfect CSI
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we consider spectrum sharing between cognitive radio (CR) users and a licensed primary user (PU) to enhance the spectrum efficiency. In the considered scenario, the PU is not able to successfully transmit ...
Cost performance based control reconfiguration in multi-agent systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a reconfigurable control protocol for a linear multi-agent system seeking consensus in presence of actuator faults and saturations is investigated. The control protocol consists of two parts: healthy system ...
Moderate salinity stimulates growth and photosynthesis of Phragmites karka by water relations and tissue specific ion regulation
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The domestication of non-food salt resistant plants could be helpful for biofuel as well as phyto-remediation of salt-affected lands. Limited eco-physiological studies on halophytes are the major bottleneck in developing ...
Structure of alkylcarbonate + n-alkane mixed fluids
(
American Chemical Society
, 2014 , Article)
The properties of dialkylcarbonate + n-alkane mixed fluids were studied both from macroscopic and from microscopic viewpoints using thermophysical measurements combined with classic molecular dynamics simulations and DFT ...
Overcoming user selfishness in DSA systems through credit-based resource allocation
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We propose a credit-based resource allocation technique for wireless systems with dynamic spectrum access (DSA) capability, such as multichannel wireless sensor networks. The proposed technique is robust against selfish ...
