Rainfall Characterization In An Arid Area
( Qatar University , 1991 , Article)The objective of this work is to characterize the rainfall in Doha which lies in an arid region. The rainfall data included daily rainfall depth since 1962 and the hyetographs of the individual storms since 1976. The ... -
Ramadan Fasting and Patients with Cancer: State-of-the-Art and Future Prospects
( Frontiers Media , 2016 , Article)Ramadan fasting represents one of the five pillars of the Islam creed. Even though some subjects (among which patients) are exempted from observing this religious duty, they may be eager to share this particular moment of ... -
Ramadan intermittent fasting induced poorer training practices during the COVID-19 lockdown: A global cross-sectional study with 5529 athletes from 110 countries
( Institute of Sport , 2022 , Article)Ramadan intermittent fasting during the COVID-19 lockdown (RIFL) may present unique demands. We investigated training practices (i.e., training load and training times) of athletes, using pre-defined survey criteria/questions, ... -
Ramadan Observance Exacerbated the Negative Effects of COVID-19 Lockdown on Sleep and Training Behaviors: A International Survey on 1,681 Muslim Athletes
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2022 , Article)Objective: Disrupted sleep and training behaviors in athletes have been reported during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed at investigating the combined effects of Ramadan observance and COVID-19 related lockdown in Muslim ... -
Raman spectroscopy of the Dukhan sabkha: identification of geological and biogeological molecules in an extreme environment
( The Royal Society , 2010 , Article)The characterization of minerals and biogeological deposits in a terrestrial Arabian sabkha has a direct relevance for the exploration of Mars since the discovery by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity of evaporate ... -
RamanNet: a generalized neural network architecture for Raman spectrum analysis
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Article)Raman spectroscopy provides a vibrational profile of the molecules and thus can be used to uniquely identify different kinds of materials. This sort of molecule fingerprinting has thus led to the widespread application of ... -
A Random Binary Trees Generation Method
( Qatar University , 2000 , Article)There are two widely used random distributions on binary trees, namely the binary search tree distribution and the uniform distribution. By analyzing the performance of algorithms that manipulate binary trees generated at ... -
Random Distributed Algorithms For Clock Synchronization
( Qatar University , 1992 , Article)This paper proposes clock synchronization algorithms based on the idea in which randomly chosen m out of the total N processors cooperate to perform the clock adjustment of all processors in a distributed system. Selection ... -
Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems
( Elsevier Inc. , 2017 , Article)This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ... -
