Nationally representative surveys administered in the Middle East and North Africa
typically are conducted using methodological techniques developed from outside the
region. Sometimes these best practices require ...
Automatic generation of optimized workflow for distributed computations on large-scale matrices
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Efficient evaluation of distributed computation on large-scale data is prominent in modern scientific computation; especially analysis of big data, image processing and data mining applications. This problem is particularly ...
A model driven framework for secure outsourcing of computation to the cloud
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a model driven approach to define then coordinate the execution of protocols for secure outsourcing of computation of large datasets in cloud computing environments. First we present our Outsourcing ...
Reasoning about security policies of services using answer set programming
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a formal framework for checking the consistency of security policies of services using Answer Set Programming (ASP). We illustrate that the formalisation of security policies of the service providers ...

Qatar is dependent on importation of rice, its staple dish, and is therefore susceptible to compromises of food quality in the global market. This market basket study assesses potential health risks of As exposure from ...
Surface modification of low-density polyethylene with poly(2-ethyl-2- oxazoline) using a low-pressure plasma treatment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a suitable polymer for biomedical applications due to its good physiochemical properties, but its insufficient biocompatibility is often an issue. Therefore, biocompatible substances such ...
Seismic detection of a sinkhole using spectral-based analysis
(
Society of Exploration Geophysicists
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Seismic data recorded during a survey in the vicinity of a sinkhole revealed distinct resonances at 70 Hz. Frequency domain data inversion based on exact modeling produced effective elastic parameters for the location over ...
Retinal image enhancement using Laplacian pyramidal multi-scaling
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Early detection of retinal diseases is important to avoid complications and permanent vision loss. In this paper retinal neovascularization and molecular degeneration has been emphasized. Neovascularization is in form of ...
