Usefulness of COMT gene polymorphisms in North African populations
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The COMT gene encodes for catechol-O-methyl-transferase, an enzyme playing a major role in regulation of synaptic catecholamine neurotransmitters. Investigating 4 markers of the COMT gene (rs2020917, rs4818, rs4680, ...
Relay selection schemes to minimise outage in wireless powered communication networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the authors discuss relay selection schemes with the objective to minimise outage probability for a network consisting of a single source, multiple relays and a single destination. The relays are powered by ...
Flexible organic photo-thermogalvanic cell for low power applications
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we report an organic semiconductor based flexible thermogalvanic cell for conversion of heat and light energy into electric power. This thermogalvanic cell has been fabricated using a eco-friendly, affordable ...
Face segmentation in thumbnail images by data-adaptive convolutional segmentation networks
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this study we address the problem of face segmentation in thumbnail images. While there have been several approaches for face detection, none performs detection in such low resolution and segmentation with pixel accuracy. ...
Real Time Digital Feedback Control for VFD fed by cascaded multi-cell inverter
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
Multi-cell inverter include an array of single-phase inverters capable of handling higher voltage ratings with lower rating power electronics devices. In this paper, a Real Time Digital Feedback Controller (RTDFBC) combined ...
Heart sound anomaly and quality detection using ensemble of neural networks without segmentation
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Phonocardiogram (PCG) signal is used as a diagnostic test in ambulatory monitoring in order to evaluate the heart hemodynamic status and to detect a cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to develop an ...
Discrete particle translation gradient concept to expose strain localisation in sheared granular materials using 3D experimental kinematic measurements
(
ICE Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
It is well known that the constitutive behaviour of granular materials is influenced by strain localisation into zones of intensive shearing, known as shear bands. The failure mode of specimens tested under axisymmetric ...
Antecedents of green purchase behavior of cosmetics products: An empirical investigation among Malaysian consumers
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Purpose: There is a growing need to conduct more studies to understand the green purchase behavior of cosmetics products because of its increasing trend in the emerging markets. Considering this, the study aims to shed ...
Lexical retrieval after Arabic aphasia: Syntactic access and predictors of spoken naming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Research into anomia has been carried out in English and many Indo-European languages extensively, but not in Arabic. Previous studies have investigated predictors of successful lexical retrieval after anomia, and access ...
An integrated ANP and er condition assessment model for sewer pipelines
(
International Society for Trenchless Technology
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
As sewer networks age, the need for their maintenance arises. Simultaneously, inadequate rehabilitation of sewer pipelines might cause catastrophic failures. Thus, municipalities worldwide must have a detailed knowledge ...
