Detection of atrial fibrillation in ECG hand-held devices using a random forest classifier
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is characterized by chaotic electrical impulses in the atria, which leads to irregular heartbeats and can develop blood clots and stroke. Therefore, early detection of AF is crucial for increasing ...
Ground-borne vibrations due to railway traffic in urbanized areas: A numerical study about traffic in trench cross-sections
(
National Technical University of Athens
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Modern cities require efficient mass transportation systems like subway and railway networks. Due to the lack of available space and also due to environmental concerns, it is usually preferable to use the underground space ...
Determination of Bromate, Perchlorate and selected ions in drinking water supplies in Qatar
(
OMICS
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
About 99% of the potable water used in Qatar is desalinated and Qataris spend approximately 15 million dollars in importing bottled water (90 million L), as the public thinks it is of better quality than the tap water. ...
Behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete using steel slag coarse aggregate produced in Qatar
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The state of Qatar suffers from the shortage of natural resources needed for concrete production. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the feasibility of using by-product recycled materials as aggregates to maintain ...
Synthesis and characterization of Cu-doped TiO2 thin films produced by the inert gas condensation technique
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The bandgap of thin films Cu-doped TiO2 nanoclusters prepared using the inert gas condensation (IGC) technique have been investigated at various Cu contents. The samples were characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS and UV-visible ...

This paper presents the relationship between travel behaviour based on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of households in the City of Jericho, within the context of trips generation. The significance of this ...
Development of a mobile application for manual traffic counts
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The use of technology in performing traffic counts has become widely used by many transportation agencies and private sectors. Different technologies have been employed to perform such counts, such as inductive loops, image ...
Throughput, latency and cost comparisons of microcontroller-based implementations of wireless sensor network (WSN) in high jump sports
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
In high jump sports, approach take-off speed and force during the take-off are two (2) main important parts to gain maximum jump. To measure both parameters, wireless sensor network (WSN) that contains microcontroller and ...
