Stock Prices and Crude Oil Shocks: The Case of GCC Countries
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries stock market are influenced by oil prices. The goal of this paper is to compare how stock prices in the GCC are affected by shocks in oil prices and comparing the results with other ...
Prevalence of microplastics in the marine waters of Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The issue of plastic pollution in the marine environment is of increasing global concern. As plastics typically have an intrinsic durability, water insolubility and slow degradation rates, debris has now become both ...
Phytoremediation of heavy metals using Qatari flora
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Phytoremediation is a natural phenomenon utilizing plants species to reduce or remove organic and inorganic pollutants from contaminated soil, water and sediment sources. Several studies were conducted to demonstrate the ...
Qatari Media Roles in Maximizing the Qatari Soft Power and Overcoming the Glocal Social Challenges of Hosting World Cup 2022
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
From the moment in 2010 when the World Cup was awarded to the tiny oil-rich nation with little soccer history, the event had been shrouded in controversy. Allegations of corruption abounded and investigations commissioned. ...
Asymptotic behaviour of contraction non-autonomous semi-flows in a Banach space: Application to first-order hyperbolic PDEs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The asymptotic behaviour is studied for a class of non-autonomous infinite-dimensional non-linear dissipative systems. This is achieved by using the concept of contraction semi-flow, which is a generalization of contraction ...
The effect of intermediate ozonation process on improving biogas production from co-digestion of agricultural waste and manure
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Anaerobic co-digestion of agricultural solid waste, wastewater, and manure was evaluated in batch reactor. The performance of anaerobic digestion (AD) was monitored by assessing the methane production potential, maximum ...
Band allocation for cognitive radios with buffered primary and secondary users
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study band allocation of Ms buffered secondary users (SUs) to Mp orthogonal primary licensed bands, where each primary band is assigned to one primary user (PU). Each SU is assigned to one of the available ...
A novel peak search & save cyclostationary feature detection algorithm
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Spectrum sensing is a key task in any cognitive radio network. On the other hand, a literature survey in this topic shows a lack of implementation and testbeds for spectrum sensing techniques. In this paper, we plot the ...
Underlay cognitive radio: What is the impact of carrier aggregation and relaying on throughput?
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate joint relay selection and optimal power allocation, as a means to maximize the achievable rate of an underlay cooperative cognitive radio with carrier aggregation, taking into account the ...
Protocol design and stability analysis of cooperative cognitive radio users
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A single cognitive radio transmitter-receiver pair shares the spectrum with two primary users communicating with their respective receivers. Each primary user has a local traffic queue, whereas the cognitive user has three ...
