Handcrafted features with convolutional neural networks for detection of tumor cells in histology images
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Detection of tumor nuclei in cancer histology images requires sophisticated techniques due to the irregular shape, size and chromatin texture of the tumor nuclei. Some very recently proposed methods employ deep convolutional ...
Performance of non-coherent decode-and-forward relaying over time-varying fading channels
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Performance analysis of selection combining (SC) for decode-and-forward (DF) relaying in case of general time-varying Rayleigh fading channels is investigated. While auto-regressive (AR) time series model is applied in ...
Why Is That Relevant? Collecting Annotator Rationales for Relevance Judgments
(
AAAI Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
When collecting subjective human ratings of items, it can be difficult to measure and enforce data quality due to task subjectivity and lack of insight into how judges’ arrive at each rating decision. To address this, we ...
Thermochemical copper Oxide - Copper sulfate water splitting cycle for solar hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the solar thermochemical copper oxide - copper sulfate (CO-CS) water splitting cycle is thermodynamically investigated. CO-CS cycle consists of two steps: first step - exothermic oxidation of CuO via water ...
Potential for green algae spirulina to capture carbon dioxide from gas stream
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This study evaluated the use of green algae Spirulina microalgae as a C02 capturing technology at different temperatures. The growth of Spirulina at 25 and 30◦C were studied in synthetic wastewater and its performance in ...
Mathematical model for thin-walled corrugated tube under axial compression
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this research, theoretical investigation of corrugated aluminum tubes is performed to predicting the energy absorption characteristics. Aim to deform plastic tubes in predetermined intervals, corrugations are introduced ...
Study the Potential Use of Waste Water Grown Microalgae Biomass as Biofertilizer
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Liquid wastewater streams that contain nitrogen must be treated before being discharged into the environment to prevent eutrophication. Already there are several existing conventional treatment technologies that can remove ...
Is it the time for Hepatitis E virus (HEV) Testing for Blood Donors in Qatar?
(
Qatar Foundation
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
HEV is the etiologic agent of acute hepatitis E. Although HEV usually causes a self-limiting infection, the disease may
develop into a chronic or fulminant form of Hepatitis. Sporadic HEV infections spread in several ...
Analysis of the relationship between physical self-concept and body composition
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Introduction: Body image is a psychological construct which refers to self-concept including self-image and feelings an individual perceives regarding his or her body. Several studies have examined how women subjectively ...
Frequency of Clinically Important RH and Kell Blood Group Antigens Among Blood Donors in Qatar
(
HBKU Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Background
Very limited information is available about the prevalence of blood groups among Qatari population and residents. The information about frequencies of different blood group antigens is important to manage, ...
