The state of the knowledge-based economy in the Arab world: cases of Qatar and Lebanon
(
Emerald Group Holdings Ltd.
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the current state of the knowledge-based economy in two distinctive case studies in the Arab World: Qatar and Lebanon. Based on five aspects of the knowledge-based economy ...
Rethinking unsustainability in Tunisia's sustainable development
(
GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies
, 2020 , Article)
This article problematises sustainable development in Tunisia through the lens of regional (under)development. Decades of accumulated imbalances between the country's coastal (Sahel) and southern/interior regions stand as ...
The generalized trust-region sub-problem with additional linear inequality constraints-Two convex quadratic relaxations and strong duality
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, we study the problem of minimizing a general quadratic function subject to a quadratic inequality constraint with a fixed number of additional linear inequality constraints. Under a regularity condition, we ...
Observer design for hyperbolic PDEs system with application to a fixed-bed chemical reactor model
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This work is devoted to the development of an optimal infinite-dimensional Luenberger observer for a system of hyperbolic PDEs. For this purpose, the duality fact linking the control design and the observer design is used. ...
Highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles on ultrasmall EMT zeolite: A peroxidase-mimic nanoenzyme for detection of H2O2 or glucose
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
In past decade, Pt-based nanomaterials as peroxidase mimics have attracted much attention for H2O2 and glucose detection. However, easy aggregation of Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) greatly decreases their peroxidase-like ...
Elucidating the mechanism for the chemical vapor deposition growth of vertical MoO2/MoS2 flakes toward photoelectrochemical applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
To control the growth of layered two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials or complex structures such as heterostructures, it is important to understand the growth mechanism. In this study, we ...
Electrospun nanofibers of PVDF-HFP composites containing magnetic nickel ferrite for energy harvesting application
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Nickel ferrite nanoparticles (NiFe2O4) synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method, are added to poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoroproplyene) (PVDF-HFP) in specific concentrations (1, 2, and 3 wt%) and the composite ...
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 ...
