On efficient estimation strategies in monitoring of linear profiles
(
Springer London
, 2018 , Article)
A fundamental strategy to diminish variations in manufacturing process urged the practitioners to characterize the quality of a process by a relationship between the response variable and one or more explanatory variables ...
A comparison of the Ranging behaviour and habitat use of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar with hedgehog taxa from temperate environments
(
NaturePublishingGroup
, 2018 , Article)
We investigated seasonal changes in the ecology and behaviour of the Ethiopian hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar, particularly in respect to differences in behaviour between hedgehogs living in arid environments ...
Gulf Arabic nouns and verbs: A standardized set of 319 object pictures and 141 action pictures, with predictors of naming latencies
(
Springer NewYork LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Standardized pictorial stimuli and predictors of successful picture naming are not readily available for Gulf Arabic. On the basis of data obtained from Qatari Arabic, a variety of Gulf Arabic, the present study provides ...
Kinematically admissible folding mechanisms for the progressive collapse of foam filled conical frusta
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, the progressive collapse of foam filled conical frusta is investigated analytically using four different kinematically admissible folding mechanisms with varied straight folds. Comparisons are made between ...
Tobacco-related education in schools of pharmacy in the Middle East: A multinational cross-sectional study
(
Oxford University Press
, 2018 , Article)
Background: Lack of adequate tobacco-related content in pharmacy curricula can interfere with pharmacist's ability to provide tobacco cessation interventions. This study aims to determine the extent of tobacco-related ...
A fast numerical method for ideal fluid flow in domains with multiple stirrers
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
A collection of arbitrarily-shaped solid objects, each moving at a constant speed, can be used to mix or stir ideal fluid, and can give rise to interesting flow patterns. Assuming these systems of fluid stirrers are ...

(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
While enjoying the convenience brought by the Internet of Things (IoT), people also encounter many problems with wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the foundation of IoT. Security problems are especially of concern. In this ...
A combined method to model dynamic recrystallization based on cellular automaton and a phenomenological (CAP) approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium alloys with high stacking-fault energy show continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) instead of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) during high-temperature deformation. During the CDRX mechanism, new ...
