Forward osmosis feasibility and potential future application for desalination
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Book chapter)
Forward Osmosis has been intensively investigated for seawater desalination in the past decade. However, the application of technology is still limited apart from a number of pilot and small commercial plants. Initially, ...
Computational Aspects of Ideal (t, n)-Threshold Scheme of Chen, Laing, and Martin
(
Springer
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In CANS 2016, Chen, Laing, and Martin proposed an ideal (t, n)-threshold secret sharing scheme (the CLM scheme) based on random linear code. However, in this paper we show that this scheme is essentially same as the one ...
Effect of post-activation potentiation induced by one, two or three half-squats on repeated sprint acceleration performance
(
CIC Edizioni Internazionali s.r.l.
, 2018 , Article)
Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of different post-activation potentiation (PAP) protocols on initial-acceleration (0-10 m) and late-acceleration phases (10 to 30 m) within a repeated sprint ...
Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ...
Performance assessment of evaporatively-cooled window driven by solar chimney in hot and humid climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the application of the evaporatively-cooled window system in hot and humid climates and assesses its seasonal performance and benefits in terms of energy savings. The validated system is a hybrid ...
An unbalanced ranked-set sampling method to get more than one sample from each set
(
American Association for Public Opinion Research
, 2018 , Article)
In ranked-set sampling, the restriction of selecting just one individual from each set may require too many sets. We propose a new version of ranked-set sampling that relaxes this restriction. Our new design uses stratified ...
Kidney-on-a-chip: untapped opportunities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
The organs-on-a-chip technology has shown strong promise in mimicking the complexity of native tissues in vitro and ex vivo, and recently significant advances have been made in applying this technology to studies of the ...
Telecommunication-wavelength lasing in er-doped gan multiple quantum wells at room temperature
(
OSA - The Optical Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
We report the realization of room-temperature, stimulated-emission in Er-doped-GaN multiple-quantum-wells at the 1.5-µm. Structures were grown by MOCVD and lasing was confirmed by threshold-behaviors of emission-intensity ...
Characteristics and mitigation strategies for cell phone use while driving among young drivers in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
There is no doubt that cell phone use while driving can lead to a higher probability of driver error, which increases the likelihood of more crashes. In Qatar, the high rate of cell phone use while driving among young ...
