Routing and channel assignment in wireless cooperative networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In recent years, cooperative communication has attracted researchers' attention as it showed a good capability to increase network performance. On the other hand, a cooperative transmission may cause more interference. ...
Auditing cloud service level agreement on VM CPU speed
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we present a novel scheme for auditing Service Level Agreement (SLA) in a semi-trusted or untrusted cloud. A SLA is a contract formed between a cloud service provider (CSP)and a user which specifies, in ...
Measurement of grid solar PV system in Oman
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper the measured results of Desert Type PV, in Muscat governorate in Oman, is discussed and analyzed. Several factors were measured and calculated for one whole year including, solar radiation, efficiency of the ...
Novel Isosteviol Derivatives Induced Apoptosis In Human Lung Cancer
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Background. Cancer metastasis is the major cause of cancer death. We previously reported novel isosteviols derivatives which induced cytotoxicity in lung cancer cells. The understanding of mechanisms which regulate lung ...
Applications of Matlab optimization capabilities in the design of N-continuous stirred tank bioreactors connected in series
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The optimal design (variable volume) of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR's), in series, performing biological conversion of organic materials, was derived. The optimal design was based on the minimum overall reactor ...
Anti-microbial Activity Of Graphene Oxide Against Bacteria And Fungi
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Graphene Oxide (GO) is a promising material for various applications. The team prepared GO from graphite and studied the interaction with different microorganisms. Anti-microbial properties were detected for the prepared ...
System approach for building energy conservation
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Energy use in residential and commercial buildings and towers represents more than 30% of energy consumption. The increase in number of buildings and towers in most of the major cities worldwide led to several initiatives ...
Classification ensemble to improve medical named entity recognition
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
An accurate Named Entity Recognition (NER) is important for knowledge discovery in text mining. This paper proposes an ensemble machine learning approach to recognise Named Entities (NEs) from unstructured and informal ...
A probabilistic multi-tenant model for virtual machine mapping in cloud systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
A novel probabilistic multi-tenant model is developed to characterize the service performance of cloud systems. The model considers essential cloud-system characteristics including virtualization, multi-tenancy and ...
Virtual network mapping for cloud services under probabilistic regional failures
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Network virtualization is critical for distributing cloud services over expanded distances and improving scalability and responsiveness. However many providers are very concerned about maintaining high availability, ...
