Applications of evacuated tubes collector to harness the solar energy: a review
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2022 , Article Review)Solar energy is a need of an hour. At present, due to the global warming effect, researchers are moving towards the research work on solar energy. Solar energy can be harnessed by solar thermal collectors. Flat plate ... -
Approximating the tail probabilities of the longest run in a sequence of Bernoulli trials
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)We consider the longest run of either successes or failures in a sequence of (Formula presented.) Bernoulli trials. The exact distribution of this random variable is obtained using probability generating function techniques. ... -
Boundary optimal control design for a system of parabolic-hyperbolic PDEs coupled with an ODE
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2020 , Article)This paper deals with the design of a boundary optimal controller for a general model of parabolic-hyperbolic PDEs coupled with an ODE. The augmented infinite-dimensional state-space representation has been used in order ... -
Co-occurrence of mycotoxins in commercial formula milk and cereal-based baby food on the Qatar market
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)The present study was conducted to explore the occurrence of mycotoxins in commercial baby foods in Doha-Qatar. LCMS/MS- and HPLC-based analysis of baby food (n?=?67) for 12 mycotoxins confirmed the presence of aflatoxin ... -
Confidence intervals for the two-parameter exponential reliability with type II censored data
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)We consider interval estimation of the reliability of the two-parameter exponential distribution.We consider asymptotic intervals, Bayesian, as well as intervals based on the generalized pivot variable. Transformations to ... -
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 ... -
Design, structural, C–H….H–C supramolecular interactions and computational investigations of Cd(N∩N″)X2 complexes based on an asymmetrical 1,2-diamine ligand: physicochemical and thermal analysis
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Complexes [N∩N″CdX2] (X = Cl (1), I (2) and N∩N″ is N1,N1,N2-triethylethane-1,2-diamine) are reported. The desired complexes were prepared under identical synthetic conditions and characterized by ESI-MS, UV-vis, CHN-elemental ... -
Determination of aflatoxins in coffee by means of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector and fungi isolation
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2020 , Article)In this study, fourteen coffee samples were collected from local markets in Doha, Qatar according to different variables i.e. packed or unpacked, beans or powder, roasted or raw bean samples. The coffee samples were subjected ... -
Diet of the Omani Owl, Strix butleri, near Nakhal, Oman
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)The diet of the Omani Owl, Strix butleri, was studied for the first time based on re- cently collected pellets. A total of 22 individual prey items represented three mam- mals (all rodents), at least two undetermined gecko ... -
Edge-maximal -free non-bipartite Hamiltonian graphs of odd order
