An Enhanced Dynamic-programming Technique For Finding Approximate Overlaps
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The next generation sequencing technology creates a huge number of sequences (reads), which constitute the input for genome assemblers. After prefiltering the sequences, it is required to detect exact overlaps between the ...
Investigating the perceptions of social sciences teachers' practices in Qatari preschools
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the perceptions of social sciences teachers' practices in Qatari preschools and their relationship to child development in the four domains of development: social-emotional, physical, intellectual, ...
Outage performance of incremental relaying networks with OFDM subcarriers mapping schemes
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The scarcity of radio resources coupled with the high data rate demands in the last few years, induced incremental relaying techniques one of the most promising technologies. This is simply because it allows reaping spatial ...
Modeling and analysis of HetNet interference using Poisson Cluster Processes
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Future mobile networks are converging towards being heterogeneous, owing to the co-existence of multi-tier networks within the same geographical area, including macro, pico- and femto-cells. The deployment of such networks ...
Pharmacoeconomic Evaluations of Oral Anticancer Agents. Thematic Systematic Review
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Background: Around 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million deaths caused by cancer were reported in 2012, expected to rise up to 22 million within the next 2 decades. The parenteral route (intravenous dosage form) ...
Improved relay selection for decode-and-forward cooperative wireless networks under secrecy rate maximization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Privacy and security have an increasingly important role in wireless networks. A secure communication enables a legitimate destination to successfully retrieve information sent by a source, while it disables the eavesdropper ...
Contribution of Shell Eco-Marathon engineering design experience to soft skills development: A qualitative analysis in the Asian context
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. Engineering curricula have been frequently criticized. Engineering design experience is one remedial way of heavy theory ...
Enabling ICT development with low cost high capacity wireless networks in remote and underdeveloped locations an application to public finance management in Comoros Islands
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The 'Union of the Comoros' is a volcanic archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean, consisting of three islands. About half the population lives below the international poverty line of US$1.25 a day. The interiors of the ...
Inter-relay Interference management schemes for multi-user cooperative wireless networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, two cooperative communications schemes with inter-relay interference (IRI) management are proposed for multi-user wireless networks. The first scheme (Interference management at relay station (IMR)) uses the ...
Evaluation of Hardware Accelerators for Lattice Boltzmann based Aneurysm Blood Flow Measurement
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Clipping is a potential treatment for ruptured/unruptured brain aneurysm patients. In order to determine the profitable treatment and also clip's location, surgeons need to have the measurements such as velocity and blood ...
