Effect of vortex order on helical-phased donut mode launch in multimode fiber
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Optical fiber sensors based on mode division multiplexing (MDM) play an increasingly vital role for real-time multi-parameter measurements. For multimode fibers, the central core region typically has defects in the refractive ...
Optical mode division multiplexing for secure Ro-FSO WLANs
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
The widespread deployment of various wireless radio access systems in public areas poses acute issues in frequency assignment. Radio-over-free-space-optics (Ro-FSO) technology enhances spectral efficiency and may pave the ...
Fatigue characterisation of full-scale pavements using viscoelastic continuum damage approach for qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The population and economy in Qatar have been expanding significantly in the past six years. Accordingly, Qatar is encountering huge development in infrastructure. The existing mix design methods have been developed in the ...
Assessment of linear and nonlinear viscoelastic responses of warm-mix asphalt binders
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology is widely used in the paving industry due to its impact on reduction of asphalt mixing and compaction temperatures. Characterisation of WMA in the past had focused on evaluating the linear ...
A problem-oriented approach to represent and manage knowledge in PBL
(
Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In traditional subject-based learning knowledge is well-structured and prepared in advance by the teachers before transferring in the form of a lecture presentation. However, the knowledge learned in problem-based learning ...
Dynamic analysis of application delivery network for leveraging software defined infrastructures
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Application Service Providers (ASPs) may obtain resources from a number of cloud service providers (CSPs) in an attempt to improve latency and minimize operational expenses (OpEx). The CSPs may use management and control ...
Problem-based learning environments in Moodle: Implementation approches
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Problem-based learning (PBL) educators resorted to developing their own environments even with existence of comprehensive Learning Management Systems (LMS). They realized that both commercial and open source systems were ...
Towards a web-based adaptive problem-based learning application
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Problem-based learning (PBL) can be organized and conducted in a number of ways. Building a PBL application to support various PBL forms directly is difficult because the scope of variability cannot be completely known and ...
Multi-cloud distribution of virtual functions and dynamic service deployment: OpenADN perspective
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Service Chaining (SC) are novel service deployment approaches in the contemporary cloud environments for increased flexibility and cost efficiency to the Application Service Providers ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors extracted from tobacco smoke as neuroprotective factors for potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of mainly the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, which leads to motor dysfunction. Although, most of the drugs are currently used for ...
