Wireless transmission with cooperation on demand for slow and fast fading environments
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
Mobile users with single antennas can still take advantage of spatial diversity through repetition based cooperative transmission. In this paper, we consider a scheme in which the relay chooses to cooperate only if the ...
Fuzzy time domain and Z-transform for modeling of harmonic electric loads
(
IEEE
, 2001 , Conference Paper)
This paper demonstrates the application of fuzzy systems and Z-transform for electric load modeling in the presence and/or absence of harmonics. The problem is formulated as one of linear optimization, where the objective ...
Descriptive epidemiology of intestinal helminth parasites from stray cat populations in Qatar
(
Cambridge University Press
, 2008 , Article)
A total of 488 stray cats, 212 adult and 29 juvenile females plus 235 adult and
12 juvenile males, were examined post-mortem during the winter and summer
months of 2006 from five sites in the vicinity of Doha and its ...
Is hypertension a predictor for heart failure? A cross cultural comparison over a 10-year period
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
This was a retrospective cohort study to assess the effect of hypertension (HTN) among Qatari and Asian patients admitted to the Hamad General Hospital in Qatar with heart failure (HF) and to identify risk factors that ...
Maintaining the genetic health of putative Barbary lions in captivity: an analysis of Moroccan Royal Lions
(
Springer Berlin / Heidelberg
, 2009 , Article)
The last representatives of the Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo), once numerous in North Africa but exterminated from the wild by the 1940s, are believed to be the captive lions descended from the Moroccan Royal Collection, ...
Competition, facilitation, and niche differentiation in two foliar pathogens
(
Springer Berlin / Heidelberg
, 2004 , Article)
We studied competition between the obligate biotroph Puccinia triticina (designated here as Puccinia) and the facultative saprophyte Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (designated here as Pyrenophora) in older and younger leaves ...
Man-made impact on the geochemistry of the Nile delta lakes. A study of metals concentrations in sediments
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2004 , Article)
Forty two sediment samples were collected from four River Nile northern delta lakes (Mariut, Edku, Burullus and Manzalah) to asses the man-made impact on their environment during the last 20 years. Due to the continuous ...
Thermo elastic analysis of functionally graded rotating disks with temperature-dependent material properties: uniform and variable thickness
(
Springer Science+Business Media, B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
A thermo elastic analysis is presented for axisymmetric rotating disks made of functionally graded material (FGM) with variable thickness. Material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the radial ...
Functional Overexpression and Purification of a Codon Optimized Synthetic Glucarpidase (Carboxypeptidase G2) in Escherichia coli
(
Springer US
, 2009 , Article)
Glucarpidase (former name: carboxypeptidase G2, or CPG2) is a bacterial enzyme that is widely used in detoxification of the cytotoxic drug, methotrexate, and in Antibody Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy for cancer treatment. ...
Sinc-based computations of eigenvalues of Dirac systems
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2007 , Article)
The celebrated classical sampling theorem is used to compute approximate values of the eigenvalues of Dirac systems with eigenvalue parameter in the boundary conditions. We deal with problems with an eigenparameter in one ...
