Qatar Biobank (QBB) is a platform that will make vital health research possible through its collection of samples and information on health and lifestyle from the local population of Qatar. The goal of QBB is to collect, ...
A blockchain-based fog computing framework for activity recognition as an application to e-Healthcare services
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In modern e-Healthcare systems, human activity recognition (HAR) is one of the most challenging tasks in remote monitoring of patients suffering from mental illness or disabilities for necessary assistance. One of the major ...
Silicon nanofilms as anode materials for flexible lithium ion batteries
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Silicon (Si)-based anodes demonstrate great potential for the revolutionary enhancement in the energy storage of Li-ion cells. Unfortunately, these materials suffer from several shortcomings, such as high electrical ...
Implementation and Analysis of Reward Functions under Different Traffic Models for Distributed DSA Systems
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we implement and analyze a resource allocation protocol for distributed dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA) systems. The DSA protocol is a learning-based protocol that allows secondary users (SU) to exploit ...
Cross-race correlations in the abilities to match unfamiliar faces
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
The other-race effect in face identification has been documented widely in memory tasks, but it persists also in identity-matching tasks, in which memory contributions are minimized. Whereas this points to a perceptual ...
An improved robust model predictive control for linear parameter-varying input-output models
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This paper describes a new robust model predictive control (MPC) scheme to control the discrete-time linear parameter-varying input-output models subject to input and output constraints. Closed-loop asymptotic stability ...
