Algal toxins and producers in the marine waters of Qatar, Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Harmful Algal Bloom species are ubiquitous and their blooms occur in the Arabian Gulf. In this study, two cruises were performed in 2012 and 2013 to collect phytoplankton samples from 4 sites in the Arabian Gulf. Toxin ...
Effect of Cuff Design on Auscultatory and Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurements
(
Oxford University Press
, 2016 , Article)
Two-piece blood pressure (BP) cuffs are the historical cuff standard. Use
of 1-piece cuffs is increasing. Substituting 1-piece for 2-piece cuffs has
an unknown effect on measurement accuracy. We compared these cuff ...
Proactive spectrum sharing incentive for physical layer security enhancement using outdated CSI
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We investigate the spectrum sharing possibility as an incentive to enhancing the physical layer security. The concept behind this is that a legitimate source-destination pair, communicating in the presence of a passive ...
The impact of globalisation on society and culture in Qatar
(
Universiti Putra Malaysia
, 2016 , Article)
The discovery of oil and the economic development and growth that followed has placed Gulf Countries on the fast path to urbanisation and modernisation, bringing an impact on traditional family relations and functions. In ...
Optimization of chiral lattice based metastructures for broadband vibration suppression using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
One of the major challenges in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering is to develop vibration suppression systems with high efficiency and low cost. Recent studies have shown that high damping performance at broadband ...
Generalisability theory analyses of concept mapping assessment scores in a problem-based medical curriculum
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Context
In problem-based learning (PBL), students construct concept maps that integrate different concepts related to the PBL case and are guided by the learning needs generated in small-group tutorials. Although an ...
5-, 12- and 15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids induce cellular hypertrophy in the human ventricular cardiomyocyte, RL-14 cell line, through MAPK- and NF-κB-dependent mechanism
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Recent studies have established the role of mid-chain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) in the development of cardiovascular disease. Mid-chain HETEs have been reported to have vasoconstrictive and pro-inflammatory ...
Three-wire bipolar high-voltage direct current line using an existing single-circuit high-voltage alternating current line for integrating renewable energy sources in multiterminal DC networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
When compared with conventional point-To-point high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, multiterminal HVDC (MTDC) systems are more economical and flexible. MTDC systems can tie distributed high power renewable energy ...
A space vector PWM scheme for five-phase current-source converters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The most recent literature on multiphase machine drives is based on voltage-source converter (VSC) systems utilizing different modulation techniques. Very little attention is given to the multiphase current-source converters ...
Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The effect of the membrane orientation, feeds flow rate, feeds temperature, and combining effect of both temperature and flow rate on the membrane flux was investigated in order to enhance the performance of forward osmosis ...
