A wireless oxygen saturation and heart rate monitoring and alarming system based on the Qatar early warning scoring system
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Monitoring vital signs and alarming healthcare emergency response units whenever measurements are outside the normal range could be life-saving for high-risk patients who are living alone or sleeping. This paper presents ...
Autism in the Gulf States: Why social robotics is the way forward
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we assess the current situation in the Gulf States with respect to autism awareness and diagnostic facilities, and emphasize the need for epidemiology studies in light of prevalence statistics available for ...
A Novel method for online correction of amplitude and phase imbalances in sinusoidal encoders signals
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Resolvers and other sinusoidal transducers are angular position and speed sensors that produce supposedly perfect sine and cosine signals in which the angular position is encoded. Suitable converters are normally used to ...
Local community perception of climate change adaptation in Egypt
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Climate change policies in countries of the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region are evolving from a top-down, government-led approach towards more pluralistic climate governance, which incorporates a local ...
Computationally efficient environmental monitoring with electronic nose: A potential technology for ambient assisted living
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recently, ambient assisted living technologies have emerged to improve the quality of life of ageing populations. Identification of health-endangering indoor gases with a hardware-friendly solution may provide an early ...
Modified total variation regularization using fuzzy complement for image denoising
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a denoising algorithm based on the Total Variation (TV) model. Specifically, we associate to the regularization term of the Rodin-Osher-Fatimi (ROF) functional a small weight whenever denoising ...
Investigation of optimal charging locations for electric vehicles in Istanbul
(
IEOM Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Electric vehicles have a great potential to decrease the adverse effects of transportation, especially in metropolitan cities. On the other hand, adoption of the electric vehicles requires supporting infrastructure such ...
Effect of surface roughening on concrete/trm bond
(
ISEC Press
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is applied on the concrete surface with the aim of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The performance of the strengthened structural system is directly related to the bond between ...
Stadium vibration assessment for serviceability considering the vibration duration
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration problems in grandstand structures have been getting more attention due to increasing slenderness of architectural components and the complexity of crowd loading for structural designers. The vibration serviceability ...
Assessment of tire-pavement noise by using on-board sound intensity (Obsi) method in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Tire-pavement noise is the dominant source of traffic noise especially at medium and high speeds. Thus, various transportation agencies and researchers are actively investigating for establishment of accurate test methods ...
