The effect of moderate and high-intensity fatigue on groundstroke accuracy in expert and non-expert tennis players
(
PMC
, 2013 , Article)
Exploring the effects of fatigue on skilled performance in tennis presents a significant challenge to the researcher with respect to ecological validity. This study examined the effects of moderate and high-intensity fatigue ...
Trust in cloud services: Providing more controls to clients

Trust is more important than money and will ultimately determine cloud computing's success.
Asymptotic properties of the sample mean in adaptive stratified sequential sampling with multiple selection criteria
(
Iranian Mathematical Society
, 2013 , Article)
We extend the method of adaptive two-stage sequen-tial sampling to include designs where there is more than one crite-ria used in deciding on the allocation of additional sampling effort. These criteria, or conditions, can ...
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 ...
Creating textured surfaces using plasma electrolysis
(
Materials Research Society
, 2013 , Article)
Plasma electrolysis (PE) is a combination of electrolysis and plasma discharge. Previous studies indicated that PE usually created porous surface with irregular morphology as a result of the plasma-cathode interaction that ...
Regression-type estimators for adaptive two-stage sequential sampling
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
Adaptive two-stage sequential sampling (ATSSS) design was developed to observe more rare units and gain higher efficiency, in the sense of having a smaller variance estimator, than conventional sampling designs with equal ...

, 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 ...
Pricing of innate and discretionary accruals in Australian debt
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This paper addresses the conflicting evidence on the role of accruals in debt pricing. We show that the two subcomponents of accruals quality, innate and discretionary accruals, both impact the debt pricing. Higher innate ...
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 ...
Breast cancer health promotion in Qatar: A survey of community pharmacists' interests and needs
(
Springer Nature
, 2013 , Article)
Objectives Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Qatar. Despite the sustained efforts to increase breast cancer public awareness via campaigns and public screening programmes, breast cancer screening rate ...
