Impact of a pharmacy practice research capacity-building programme on improving the research abilities of pharmacists at two specialised tertiary care hospitals in Qatar: a preliminary study
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)The aim of this study was to develop and implement a pharmacy practice research training programme and to determine the effect of the programme on pharmacists' knowledge of, and attitudes towards, research. An intensive ... -
Matching Face Images Taken on the Same Day or Months Apart: the Limitations of Photo ID
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2013 , Article)It is well-established that matching images of unfamiliar faces is rather error prone. However, there is an important mismatch between face matching in laboratory and realistic settings. All of the currently available ... -
Mathematical model for predicting sludge accumulation in septic tanks based on operational parameters: effect of hydraulic mixing
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)Reporting sludge accumulation in septic tanks as a constant rate is no longer accepted, and there is a need for a model that predicts sludge accumulation in septic tanks taking into consideration the continuous consumption ... -
Modelling the degradation of vibration characteristics of reinforced concrete beams due to flexural damage
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)This paper presents an improved crack model incorporating non-linearity of flexural damage in concrete to reproduce changes in vibration properties of cracked reinforced concrete beams. A reinforced concrete beam model ... -
Modest seductiveness: Reconciling modesty and vanity by reverse assimilation and double resistance
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2012 , Article)We study conflicting notions of modesty and vanity in the Arab Gulf region by focusing on contemporary female adornment practices and the tensions underlying them. The standard of modest traditional dress that women are ... -
Multi-component instantaneous frequency estimation using locally adaptive directional time frequency distributions
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)This paper presents a locally adaptive time-frequency (t,f) method for estimating the instantaneous frequency (IF) of multi-component signals. A high-resolution adaptive directional time-frequency distribution (ADTFD) is ... -
A new forecasting scheme for evaluating long-term prediction performances in supply chain management
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2014 , Article)Supply chain management (SCM) practitioners in inventory sites are often required to predict the future sales of products in order to meet customer demands and reduce inventory costs simultaneously. Although a variety of ... -
Outlier robust nonlinear mixed model estimation
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2015 , Article)In standard analyses of data well-modeled by a nonlinear mixed model, an aberrant observation, either within a cluster, or an entire cluster itself, can greatly distort parameter estimates and subsequent standard errors. ... -
Overlapping Schwarz waveform relaxation method for the solution of the convection-diffusion equation
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2008 , Article)In this article we study the convergence of the overlapping Schwarz wave form relaxation method for solving the convection-diffusion equation over multi-overlapped subdomains. It is shown that the method converges linearly ... -
Performance analysis of a cell-based call admission control scheme for QoS support in multimedia wireless networks
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2010 , Article)Next generation wireless communication systems, including 3G and 4G technologies, are envisaged to support more mobile users and a variety of high-bandwidth multimedia services. Different multimedia services have diverse ... -
Photosynthetic acclimation to high temperatures in wheat
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 1992 , Article)Growth and photosynthetic performance were assessed for the Finnish wheat Triticum aestivum L. var. APU under a cool (13/10�C day/night) and a warm (30/25�C day/night) regime. Plants exhibited a certain degree of acclimation ... -
Possible evidence for the existence of a hairy layer at the surface of polymer latex particles
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 1998 , Article)In this work, an attempt is made to verify the existence of a hairy layer at the surface of polymer latex particles, and determine its thickness under different conditions. Two systems have been studied. In one system, ... -
PREDICTING NEXT TRADING DAY CLOSING PRICE OF QATAR EXCHANGE INDEX USING TECHNICAL INDICATORS AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2014 , Article)Accurate prediction of stock market price is of great importance to many stakeholders. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have shown robust capability in predicting stock price return, future stock price and the direction ... -
PS/TiO2 (polystyrene/titanium dioxide) composite nanofibers with higher surface-to-volume ratio prepared by electrospinning: Morphology and thermal properties
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2013 , Article)Polystyrene (PS)/Titanium dioxide (TiO2) composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning of PS/TiO2 solution in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The effect of PS and TiO2 concentration on the morphology and thermal ... -
Relay selection in underlay cognitive networks with fixed transmission power nodes
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2013 , Article)Underlay cognitive networks operate simultaneously with primary networks satisfying stringent interference constraints, which reduces their transmission power and coverage area. To reach remote destinations, secondary ... -
The reversing influence of involvement on the framing effect: The role of emotions and negativity
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2014 , Article)The Asian disease problem (ADP), as a demonstration of the framing effect, revealed a preference reversal between options perceived as risky and those perceived as certain. This research identifies individuals' involvement ... -
Stochastic learning automata-based channel selection in cognitive radio/dynamic spectrum access for WiMAX networks
