Illustrate It! An Arabic Multimedia Text-to-Picture m-Learning System
(
IEEE
, 2017 , Article)
Multimedia learning is the process of building mental representation from words associated with images. Due to the intuitiveness and vividness of visual illustration, many texts to picture systems have been proposed. ...
Your Behavior Signals Your Reliability: Modeling Crowd Behavioral Traces to Ensure Quality Relevance Annotations
(
AAAI Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
While peer-agreement and gold checks are well-established methods for ensuring quality in crowdsourced data collection, we explore a relatively new direction for quality control: estimating work quality directly from ...
Potential of ground source heat pump systems in cooling-dominated environments: Residential buildings
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
For countries in the Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning (A/C) systems account for 65% of the energy consumption, all of which comes from fossil fuel. Given the preparation for the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in ...
Comparison between different measures to reduce cooling requirements of residential building in cooling-dominated environment
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
In hot climate region like Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning systems are the major energy consumer. Therefore, there are compelling reasons to study the energy requirements in buildings sector to reduce the energy ...
A study on the design and effectiveness of tactile feedback in sriving simulator
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulations are widely used to send navigational and warning information to help drivers navigate safely. The traditional approaches are to use visual and auditory channels which can cause sensory overloading. ...
Design of immersive virtual reality system to improve communication skills in individuals with autism
(
Kassel University Press GmbH
, 2017 , Article)
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) regularly experience situations in which they need to give answers but do not know how to respond; for example, questions related to everyday life activities that are asked ...
Virtual environments for improving construction site safety
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2011 , Article)
This paper aims to present a visual simulation technique for improving construction site safety based on virtual construction environments (VCE). Additionally, the paper presents a framework to conduct true ‘what-if’ ...
Turbulence effects on the autoignition of DME in a turbulent co-flowing jet
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Dimethyl ether (DME) autoignition in turbulent co-flowing jets with preheated air is studied using the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. We investigate the effects of molecular and turbulent transport on the autoignition ...
Analysis of the effect of global climate change on ground source heat pump systems in different climate categories
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems exhibit high thermal performance. Consequently, they are increasingly used to heat and cool buildings. The thermal performance of GSHP systems strongly depends on the operation ground ...
Performance evaluation of full-scale sections of asphalt pavements in the State of Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2014 , Article)
The population and economy in the State of Qatar have been increasing in the past 5 years. Accordingly, traffic loading has also increased rapidly, which affected the performance of existing roads and highways. This high ...
