Using Classroom Observation to Investigate Productive Student Participation in Higher- and Lower-Performing Qatari Schools
(2011 , Conference Paper)In 2002, Qatar established key elements of educational reform in schools including national curriculum standards; emphasis on critical thinking through student-centered teaching; establishment of charter (independent) ... -
Using codebooks generated from text skeletonization for forensic writer identification
( IEEE Computer Society , 2014 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we propose a novel approach for writer identification using codebook generation based on text skeletonization.Unlike other schemes, the skeleton in this approach is segmented at its junction pixels into ... -
Using conceptual reasoning for inconsistencies detection in islamic advisory opinion (Fatwas)
( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)The Islamic websites play an important role in disseminating Islamic knowledge and information about Islamic ruling. Their number and the content they provide is continuously increasing which require in-depth investigations ... -
Using Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks in Computational Mechanics -- Code
(2022 , Dataset)We use cGANs to solve computational mechanics. We model a structure using FEA and generate simulations results (deflection and stress). We then transform the FEA results into images where the colour channels correspond to ... -
Using Context Specific Generative Adversarial Networks for Audio Data Completion
( IEEE Explore , 2023 , Conference Paper)Audio quality plays an essential role in several applications ranging from music to voice conversations. Sound information is subject to quality loss caused by reasons such as intermittent network connections, or storage ... -

( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Conference Paper)This study demonstrates the application of design principles for tools in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects for project management purposes. It advocates the use of proper data analytics and ... -
Using Deep Learning to Predict Stock Movements Direction in Emerging Markets: The Case of Qatar Stock Exchange
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Conference Paper)Deep learning approaches have been utilized to predict stocks. In this study, we use convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict stocks direction in Qatar stock exchange (QE) as a case of emerging markets. Prediction in ... -
Using driving simulator to study the effect of crash fact signs on speeding behaviour along freeways
( Taylor & Francis , 2022 , Article)A driving simulator study was utilized to evaluate a potential countermeasure for speeding behaviour in order to reduce speed spillover. The behaviour of 56 subjects was observed. Participants drove a freeway for 5300 ... -
Using electric power to synthesize resorcinol-formaldehyde gels with enhanced characteristics
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2020 , Article)A novel electrochemical approach was introduced for crosslinking resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) gels at room temperature without utilizing a catalyst or a buffer. The electrochemically cross-linked gels and their subsequent ... -
Using Electrospinning Technique for Preparation of Cobalt Hydroxide Nanoparticles
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Cobalt hydroxide or cobaltous hydroxide or cobaltous hydrate, has attracted increasing attention in recent years because of its novel electric and catalytic properties and important technological applications, for examples ... -
Using Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy as an Indirect Measure of Entrepreneurial Education
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Business schools are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their educational achievements. In particular, some have questioned the utility of entrepreneurship education. As a result, measuring the knowledge and skills ... -
Using Event History Analysis in the Social Sciences
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2019 , Other)The internet has had a vast and pervasive effect on many industries. It has resulted in the creation of new industries and has overhauled the dynamics that governed existing industries. One of the most traditional industries ... -
Using Financial Options for Pricing of IaaS Cloud Resources
( IEEE Computer Society , 2017 , Conference Paper)IaaS cloud resources are offered by cloud providers using various pricing schemes such as reservation, scheduled, on-demand and spot pricing. Such pricing models suffer from either wasteful payment in case of underutilization ... -
Using flipped classroom approach to teach computer programming
( IEEE , 2016 , Conference Paper)Flipped classroom approach has been increasingly adopted in higher institutions. Although this approach has many advantages, there are also many challenges that should be considered. In this paper, we discuss the suitability ... -
Using fringes for minimal conceptual decomposition of binary contexts
( World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd , 2012 , Article)Extracting knowledge from huge data in a reasonable time is still a challenging problem. Most real data (structured or not) can be mapped to an equivalent binary context, with or without using a scaling method, as for ... -
Using geodesic space density gradients for network community detection
( IEEE Computer Society , 2017 , Article)Many real world complex systems naturally map to network data structures instead of geometric spaces because the only available information is the presence or absence of a link between two entities in the system. To enable ... -
