Influence of the heteroatom on the optoelectronic properties and transistor performance of soluble thiophene-, selenophene- and tellurophene-vinylene copolymers
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
We report the first soluble poly(3-dodecyl tellurophenylene-vinylene) polymer (P3TeV) by Stille copolymerization and compare its properties to the analogous thiophene and selenophene containing polymers. The optical band ...
The attributes of future 2030 engineers in Qatar for innovation and knowledge based economy
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. These studies continue to emphasize that technical content knowledge and competencies are essential for any engineer; however, ...
Bayesian inference for Pr ( Y<X ) in the exponential distribution based on records
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
We consider Bayesian estimation of the stress–strength reliability based on record values. The estimators are derived under the squared error loss function in the one parameter as well as two-parameter exponential ...

Maximum Power Transfer Of Pv-fed Inverter-based Distributed Generation With Improved Voltage Regulation Using Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
One of the main issues accompanied with the high penetration of PV distributed generation (DG) systems in low voltage (LV) networks is the overvoltage challenge. The amount of injected power to the grid is directly related ...
A BCI m-Learning System
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Mobile learning can help in evolving students learning strength and comprehension skills. A connection is required to enable such devices communicate between each other. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) can read brain signals ...
Comparison of SimTraffic and VISSIM Microscopic Traffic Simulation Tools in Modeling Roundabouts
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Abstract SimTraffic and VISSIM are two microscopic traffic simulation tools that are capable of modeling arterial roads with signalized intersections and roundabouts. This study compares the performance of the two simulation ...
Robust Controller and Fault Diagnoser Design for Linear Systems with Event-based Communication
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In order to improve the effectiveness and safety of control systems, the problem of integrated fault diagnosis and control (IFDC) design has attracted significant attention in the recent years, both in the research and in ...
Anti-Metastatic and Anti-Tumor Growth Effects of Origanum majorana on Highly Metastatic Human Breast Cancer Cells: Inhibition of NFκB Signaling and Reduction of Nitric Oxide Production
(
Public Library of Science
, 2013 , Article)
Background: We have recently reported that Origanum majorana exhibits anticancer activity by promoting cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of the metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. Here, we extended our study by ...
