Challenges to the application of research ethics: researchers' views from Lebanon and Qatar
(
American University of Beriut
, 2014 , Conference Paper & Presentation)
The rise of academic institutions and in funding in the Arab World, poses concerns about the practice of research ethics. The influence of cultural and academic contexts on the interpretation and the application of research ...

حاولت هذه الدراسة رصد مظاهر الاتصال والتواصل في عصر المعلومات اللحظي، والتأثيرات المتبادلة بين وسائل الاتصال الجديدة والقديمة، وذلك بالتطبيق على عينة عشوائية من الجمهور العربي بلغت العينة 216 مبحوثا. ومن أهم ما انتهت إليه ...
A general multicompartment lung mechanics model with nonlinear resistance and compliance respiratory parameters
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we develop a nonlinear multicompartment lung mechanics model that accounts for nonlinearities in both the airway resistances and the lung compliances. Many models assume that the airway resistances for a ...
Input forager: A user-driven interaction adaptation approach for head worn displays
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Input Forager is a user-driven adaptation approach that enables users to flexibly borrow different embedded inputs from smartwatches, smartphones and tablets, then map borrowed inputs to interaction-events that effect Head ...
Design and numerical study of the integration of omnidirectional shroud with vertical axis wind turbine
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The integration of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with the novel omni-directional shroud is proposed. It consists of the upper wall, lower wall and an array of 5 guide-vanes. Wind from all directions is collected ...
The integration of social media in the delivery of unit materials: A comparative examination of the experience of Macquarie University and Qatar University
(
IEEE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Social media is an important technological and cultural development with which the new generation of students are intimately familiar and use on a daily basis. As a communications tool social media has vast and varied ...
Hybrid underlay/overlay cognitive radio system with hierarchical modulation in the presence of channel estimation error
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we study the performance of hybrid cognitive radio (CR) system in the presence of channel estimation error (CER) in terms of bit-error-probability (BEP) and outage probability. We assume simultaneous switching ...
Open and closed-loop motor control system with incipient broken rotor bar fault detection using current signature
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Motor drive system is considered the most important asset in industrial applications. Detection of broken rotor bars has long been important but difficult job in detection area of incipient motor faults. The need for highly ...
Trading wireless information and power transfer: Relay selection to minimize the outage probability
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper studies the outage probability minimization problem for a multiple relay network with energy harvesting constraints. The relays are hybrid nodes used for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer from ...
Release-time aware VM placement
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Consolidating virtual machines (VMs) on as few physical machines (PMs) as possible so as to turn into sleep as many PMs as possible can make significant energy savings in cloud centers. Although traditional online bin ...
