The "Right to Privacy" v. telecommunications interception and access: International regulations and implementation in the Arab Region
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Article)
The right to privacy is a complex and controversial issue. Concerns pertaining to the 'Right to Privacy' have often become a stumbling block when preparing draft laws on telecommunication, specifically those that relate ...
The significance of industry experience in civil engineering education
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Students pursuing their civil engineering degree usually learn the theory part in class but may struggle relating theory to practice if the instructor have no industry experience. Engineering graduates can benefit more ...
A time–frequency based approach for generalized phase synchrony assessment in nonstationary multivariate signals
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This paper proposes a new approach to estimate the phase synchrony among nonstationary multivariate signals using the linear relationships between their instantaneous frequency (IF) laws. For cases where nonstationary ...
Anomalous manganese activation of a pyrophosphate cathode in sodium ion batteries: A combined experimental and theoretical study
(2013 , Article)
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) have many advantages such as the low price and abundance of sodium raw materials that are suitable for large-scale energy storage applications. Herein, we report an Mn-based pyrophosphate, ...
Thin, flexible supercapacitors made from carbon nanofiber electrodes decorated at room temperature with manganese oxide nanosheets
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2013 , Article)
We report the fabrication and electrochemical performance of a flexible thin film supercapacitor with a novel nanostructured composite electrode. The electrode was prepared by in situ coprecipitation of two-dimensional ...
Nitrate removal from water using UV-M/S2O42- advanced reduction process
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
In this work, a new process called advanced reduction process (ARP) was used for nitrate removal from water. This ARP process combines sodium dithionite as reducing agent with ultraviolet irradiation using medium pressure ...
Exchange rate pass-through and inflation dynamics in Tunisia: A Markov-switching approach
(
Kiel Institute for the World Economy
, 2013 , Article)
This paper studies the effect of exchange rate pass-through on inflation in Tunisia for the period 2001 to 2009. The objective is to track inflation regimes for the Tunisian economy and to forecast its determinants. Using ...
Towards model-based management of database fragmentation
(
USENIX Association
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The performance of a database can significantly deteriorate due to the fragmentation of data/index files. Manual database defragmentation and performance optimization remain time consuming and even infeasible as it requires ...
Optimization of bioinsecticides overproduction by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki using linear regression
(
Polish Society of Microbiologists
, 2013 , Article)
A multiple linear regression analyses were performed to screen for the significant factors simultaneously influencing production of delta-endotoxin, proteolytic activities and spore formation by a Bacillus thuringiensis ...
Application of statistical experimental design for optimisation of bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain on cheap medium
(2013 , Article)
In order to overproduce bioinsecticides production by a sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain, an optimal composition of a cheap medium was defined using a response surface methodology. In a first step, a Plackett-Burman ...
