The GCC in Crisis: Explorations of ‘Normlessness’ in Gulf Regionalism
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)In a field that is so loosely theorised, an investigation into intra-GCC conflict is both apposite and challenging. Empirically, interventions by Gulf states have proliferated across the GCC and MENA since 2011. This Special ... -
Goodness-of-fit testing based on Gini Index of spacings for progressively Type-II censored data
( Taylor & Francis , 2021 , Article)In this article, we propose two new scale invariant test statistics when the available data are subject to progressively Type-II censoring. The proposed tests are based on Gini index of spacings. It is observed thorough ... -
Gulf householding: implications of gulf migration for social reproduction
( Taylor & Francis , 2024 , Article)This paper introduces the idea of ‘Gulf householding’ to reflect on migrant households that send their members to the Arab Gulf states for work and rely on material and non-material supports for formation and sustenance ... -
The impact of the Arab spring on the gulf cooperation council
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)It is apposite to interrogate the notion of ‘monarchical exceptionalism’ when testing the idea that the ‘Arab Spring’ has not affected the so-called ‘ruling bargain’ in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The Arab Spring ... -
Iterative scheme for an elliptic non-local free boundary problem
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)In this paper we treat a non-local free boundary problem arising in financial bubbles, where the model is set in the framework of viscosity solutions. We suggest an iterative scheme which consists of a sequence of obstacle ... -
Master Planning and the Evolving Urban Model in the Gulf Cities: Principles, Policies, and Practices for the Transition to Sustainable Urbanism
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)The significant predicament of sustainable urbanism in contemporary cities of the Gulf region is being addressed by developing policies designed to make cities safe, inclusive, resilient and sustainable. By examining the ... -
Measurement and modelling of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions: a marker for traffic-related air pollution in Doha, Qatar
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)In the State of Qatar, recent statistics show a continued increase in the motor-vehicle fleet commensurate with population growth and economic development. This trend, together with the rapid expansion of urban areas and ... -
Mechanism and kinetics of electrochemical degradation of uric acid using conductive-diamond anodes
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)Uric acid (UA) is one of the principal effluents of urine wastewaters, widely used in agriculture as fertilizer, which is potentially dangerous and biorefractory. Hence, the degradation of UA (2,6,8-trihydroxy purine) in ... -
Mixed-methods pre-match cooling improves simulated soccer performance in the heat.
( Taylor & Francis , 2019 , Article)This investigation examined the effects of three pre-match and half-time cooling manoeuvres on physical performance and associated physiological and perceptual responses in eight University soccer players during a non-motorised ... -
Models of Speech Processing
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Book chapter)One of the fundamental questions about language is how listeners map the acoustic signal onto syllables, words, and sentences, resulting in understanding of speech. For normal listeners, this mapping is so effortless ... -
Multivariate analysis of competitive adsorption of food dyes by activated pine wood
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)In this work, competitive adsorption of four food dyes (Sunset Yellow, Allura Red, tartrazine, and Brilliant Black) by heated pine wood is studied using multivariate calibration. Partial least squares PLS1 and principal ... -
Multivariate multilevel models for attitudes toward statistics: multi-disciplinary settings in Afghanistan
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)The present paper focuses on examining students' attitudes and perception of statistics in Afghanistan universities and the factor structure of the statistical anxiety rating scale (STARS). In total, 209 undergraduate ... -
Muscle-damaging exercise 48 h prior to a maximal incremental exercise treadmill test reduces time to exhaustion: is it time to reconsider our pretest procedures?
( Taylor & Francis , 2017 , Article)Pretest guidelines typically stipulate that no exercise should be performed 48 h prior to a maximal incremental exercise ðMIEÞ test. However, no study has specifically investigated if this timescale alters key outcome ... -
On the estimation of reliabilty function in a Weibull lifetime distribution
( Taylor & Francis , 2008 , Article)The estimation of the reliability function of the Weibull lifetime model is considered in the presence of uncertain prior information (not in the form of prior distribution) on the parameter of interest. This information ... -
The physiological effects of concurrent strength and endurance training sequence: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
( Taylor & Francis , 2017 , Article Review)We conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to assess the chronic effects of the sequence of concurrent strength and endurance training on selected important physiological and performance parameters, ... -
