Pressure injury prevalence and predictors among older adults in the first 36-hours of hospitalisation.
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
To describe the prevalence and predictors of pressure injuries among older adults with limited mobility, within the first 36-hours of their hospital admission in Australia. Pressure injuries are significant health, safety ...
Nano-scale moisture damage evaluation of carbon nanotube-modified asphalt
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd In addition to polymer modification, the use of nanomaterials to improve different asphalt properties has recently been found to be beneficial. However, the potential of nanomaterials in pavement ...
Improvement of hydrogen production under solar light using cobalt (II) phosphide hydroxide co-doped g-C3N4 photocatalyst
(
Springer
, 2019 , Article)
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been extensively studied as a model of photocatalyst material for water splitting. This study investigates potential of cobalt (II) phosphide hydroxide co-doped g-C3N4 (Co-P/C3N4) for ...
Critical factors determining bid/no bid decisions of contractors in Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
To bid or not to bid for construction projects is a crucial strategic decision for contractors' sustainability in the industry. The high complexity and uncertainty associated with such a decision-making process, which ...
Reliability-aware service provisioning in NFV-enabled enterprise datacenter networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Network Function Visualization (NFV) enables the complete decoupling of Network Functions (NFs) (e.g., firewall, intrusion detection, routing, etc.) from physical middleboxes used to implement service-specific and strictly ...
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 ...
Fidelity to and satisfaction with prescribed curriculum in an Arab educational context: ESL teachers' perspective
(
Routledge
, 2017 , Article)
Educational institutions in the Arab Gulf are requiring rapid changes to enhance English language learning to keep up with globalization and economic growth. This urges the need for investigating policy changes such as ...
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 ...
Time-Frequency Distributions Based on Compact Support Kernels: Properties and Performance Evaluation
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Article)
This paper presents two new time-frequency distributions
(TFDs) based on kernels with compact support (KCS)
namely the separable (CB) (SCB) and the polynomial CB (PCB)
TFDs. The implementation of this family of TFDs ...
Improved Discrete Definition of Quadratic Time-Frequency Distributions
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Article)
Computation of a time-frequency distribution (TFD) requires a discrete version of the continuous distribution. This discrete TFD (DTFD) should be free from aliasing and conserve all the important mathematical properties ...
