Does Government Ownership and Disclosure Affect Performance and Stability of the GCC Banking Sector?
(
Cambridge Research Science Institute
, 2013 , Article)
This paper studies empirically the effect of government ownership and the level of disclosure on the performance and the stability of banks, controlling for regulations, concentration, bank and country specific characteristics. ...
Consumer online shopping attitude-intention and their determinants in Qatar
(
Inderscience
, 2013 , Article)
The study examines consumer online shopping attitude and intention and their antecedents in Qatar, one of the strongest economies in the world. Commonly used determinants of consumer online shopping attitude and intention ...
The effects of gas tungsten arch welding on the corrosion and mechanical properties of AA 6061 T6
(2013 , Article)
Corrosion of welded and un-welded Aluminum Alloy 6061 T6 was investigated by immersing specimens in 3.5% (wt) NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic and open circuit potential measurements were conducted. The mechanical properties ...
Phytoplankton along the coastal shelf of an oligotrophic hypersaline environment in a semi-enclosed marginal sea: Qatar (Arabian Gulf)
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a concentration), primary production, abundance, species diversity and species groupings were measured in the coastal waters surrounding Qatar (Arabian Gulf) at 13 stations in February ...
Greedy algorithms and metaheuristics for a multiple runway combined arrival-departure aircraft sequencing problem
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This paper examines the Aircraft Sequencing Problem (ASP) over multiple runways, under mixed mode operations with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of aircraft landings and departures simultaneously. ...
Control of parabolic PDEs with time-varying spatial domain: Czochralski crystal growth process
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
This paper considers the optimal control problem for a class of convection-diffusion-reaction systems modelled by partial differential equations (PDEs) defined on time-varying spatial domains. The class of PDEs is characterised ...
Boundary optimal (LQ) control of coupled hyperbolic PDEs and ODEs
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This contribution addresses the development of a linear quadratic (LQ) regulator for a set of hyperbolic PDEs coupled with a set of ODEs through the boundary. The approach is based on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert ...
Optimal control of an advection-dominated catalytic fixed-bed reactor with catalyst deactivation
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
The paper focuses on the linear-quadratic control problem for a time-varying partial differential equation model of a catalytic fixed-bed reactor. The classical Riccati equation approach, for time-varying infinite-dimensional ...
Nonlinear direct inverse method: A shortcut method for simultaneous calibration and isotherm determination
(2013 , Article)
This work addresses a way to combine isotherm determination and nonlinear calibration. In this method, like the classical inverse method, experimental elution profiles are compared with the results of a detailed model that ...
Folksonomy link prediction based on a tripartite graph for tag recommendation
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
Nowadays social tagging has become a popular way to annotate, search, navigate and discover online resources, in turn leading to the sheer amount of user-generated metadata. This paper addresses the problem of recommending ...
