Improving signalised intersections performance for better built environment
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Traffic delays are still a significant part of the daily commutes in most urban areas despite significant investments in infrastructure. Policy, design and operational measures are usually taken to reduce emissions from ...
Arabic corpora for credibility analysis
(
European Language Resources Association (ELRA)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A significant portion of data generated on blogging and microblogging websites is non-credible as shown in many recent studies. To filter out such non-credible information, machine learning can be deployed to build automatic ...
Robust model-free gait recognition by statistical dependency feature selection and Globality-Locality Preserving Projections
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Gait recognition aims to identify people through the analysis of the way they walk. The challenge of model-free based gait recognition is to cope with various intra-class variations such as clothing variations and carrying ...
Joint optimization of throughput and delay over PPP interfered relay networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Future wireless networks are expected to achieve higher data rates and ubiquitous coverage by seamless cooperation among diverse network technologies. However, it also increases the risk of co-channel interference and ...
Heat powered water pump for reverse osmosis desalination
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Current desalination techniques are typically very energy intensive: energy consumption can account for up to 70% of the desalination costs. To improve economics of water desalination plants innovative energy efficient, ...
Dynamic Testing of a Laboratory Stadium Structure
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Studies with large physical models are a vital link between the theoretical work and field applications provided that these models are designed to represent real structures where various types and levels of uncertainties ...
Investigating the potential of delivering employer information requirements in BIM enabled construction projects in Qatar
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Employer's Information Requirements (EIR) is a key document for the successful delivery of construction projects using Building Information Modeling (BIM). EIR sets out the information to be delivered and the standards and ...
Power control and RB allocation for LTE uplink
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
According to 3GPP standards, the Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) was adopted for Uplink transmission in LTE networks. As multiple mobiles may have access to neighboring base stations simultaneously, ...
OCR based feature extraction and template matching algorithms for Qatari number plate
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
There are several algorithms and methods that could be applied to perform the character recognition stage of an automatic number plate recognition system; however, the constraints of having a high recognition rate and ...
Mobile manipulator performance measurement towards manufacturing assembly tasks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Mobile manipulator performance measurement research is relatively minimal as compared to that of robot arms. Measurement methods, such as optical tracking systems, are useful for measuring the performance of mobile ...
