Ethnographing Gender Roles and Power in Intercultural Communication in Qatar
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)This ethnographic study examines how gender roles associated with male and female Qatari students in intercultural communication courses in a university in Qatar are negotiated between them and their two female instructors ... -
Evaluating the effect of antiscalants on membrane biofouling using FTIR and multivariate analysis
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)A combination of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, multivariate analysis and conventional microbiological assays were utilized to characterize and differentiate membrane biofouling formed in the presence of ... -
Evaluating the invasive plant, Prosopis juliflora in the two initial growth stages as a potential candidate for heavy metal phytostabilization in metalliferous soil
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Anthropogenic activities leads to increase in toxic metals in the environment. The toxicity of Cd, Cr and Pb to P. juliflora were tested in agar media; Seeds germinated in 25, 50 and 100 mg/L Pb; 5, 10 and 20 mg/ 10 L Cd; ... -
Expatriate languages in Kuwait: Tension between public and private domains
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)Following the rise of oil-based economies after the 1950s, the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries became extremely attractive to workers from other Arab countries and beyond. Initially, Arabs were a majority in ... -
Hermite-Hadamard and Fejer-type inequalities for generalized η-convex stochastic processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2023 , Article)In this article, we introduce the concept of (Formula presented.) -convex stochastic processes on coordinates and establish Hermite-Hadamard-type inequality for these stochastic processes. Moreover, we prove new integral ... -
Hermite-Hadamard type integral inequalities for multidimensional general h-harmonic preinvex stochastic processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)In this paper, we introduce a new concept of preinvex functions which is called general h-harmonic preinvex for real-valued stochastic processes. Further, we define the multidimensional general h-harmonic preinvex stochastic ... -
Interval estimation of the stress-strength reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2014 , Article)We consider interval estimation of the stress-strength reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records. We constructed Bayesian intervals, Bootstrap intervals and intervals using the generalized ... -
LQ (optimal) control of hyperbolic PDAEs
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2014 , Article)The linear quadratic control synthesis for a set of coupled first-order hyperbolic partial differential and algebraic equations is presented by using the infinite-dimensional Hilbert state-space representation of the system ... -
Mixed EWMA-CUSUM and mixed CUSUM-EWMA modified control charts for monitoring first order autoregressive processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)In practice most processes are known to produce autocorrelated observations. Autocorrelation degrades the performance of control charts by producing frequent false alarms when the process is stable or makes the charts ... -
Momentum sequence and environmental climate influence levels of perceived psychological momentum within a sport competition
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)The present study examined the influence of momentum sequence (positive vs. negative) and environmental climate (hot-wet vs. neutral) on supporters' (i.e. virtual observers') reported levels of perceived psychological ... -
On designing a sequential based EWMA structure for efficient process monitoring
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2020 , Article)Control chart is a popular technique that is widely used in statistical process control to identify any possible deviations from a stable state of a process. Shewhart charts are famous for identifying larger shifts, while ... -
On designing an assorted control charting approach to monitor process dispersion: an application to hard-bake process
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2020 , Article)The monitoring of process variability is an important feature to get optimal output from a process. Control charts are vital tools used for efficient process monitoring. The commonly used types of charts include Shewhart, ... -
On designing efficient memory-type charts using multiple auxiliary-information
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2023 , Article)This article intends to investigate new progressive mean (MEP) charts using a single auxiliary characteristic (AMEP) and two auxiliary characteristics (TAMEP) to trace small shifts in the process mean effectively. The ... -
On strongly generalized convex stochastic processes
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article)In this paper, we introduce the notion of strongly generalized convex functions which is called as strongly η-convex stochastic processes. We prove the Hermite-Hadamard, Ostrowski type inequality, and obtain some important ... -
On the diet of the Pharaoh Eagle Owl, Bubo ascalaphus (Savigny, 1809), in Qatar, with an overview of its feeding habits
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2014 , Article)The diet of Bubo ascalaphus in Qatar was assessed based on pellets collected from the first known nesting site of the species in the country. The pellets contained a total of 68 prey items, representing 9 different species: ... -
