Lignin and lignocellulosic materials: A glance on the current opportunities for energy and sustainability
( Springer International Publishing , 2021 , Book chapter)Fossil fuels are running out fast. The energy demand is one of the largest challenges humankind has ever faced. Applications targeting renewable resources that are nonpetroleum based are booming. The scientific community ... -
The Ligon lintless-2 Short Fiber Mutation Is Located within a Terminal Deletion of Chromosome 18 in Cotton<sup>1</sup>
( American Society of Plant Biologists , 2020 , Article)Extreme elongation distinguishes about one-fourth of cotton (Gossypium sp.) seed epidermal cells as “lint” fibers, useful for the textile industry, from “fuzz” fibers (,5 mm). Ligon lintless-2 (Li2), a dominant mutation ... -
Like father like son: the role of similar-education parents in their children's university choice
( Routledge , 2022 , Article)This study draws attention to the role of similarly educated parents in their children's university choice. We conceptualise, develop, and empirically test a model that links university choice with parents' intention to ... -
Likelihood and Bayesian estimation of using lower record values from the generalized exponential distribution
( Elsevier Ltd , 2007 , Article)We consider the likelihood and Bayesian estimation of the stress-strength reliability based on lower record values from the generalized exponential distribution. The estimators are derived and their properties are studied. ... -
Likelihood and Bayesian Inference in the Lomax Distribution under Progressive Censoring
( Horizon Research Publishing(HRPUB) , 2022 , Article)The Lomax distribution has been used as a statistical model in several fields, especially for business failure data and reliability engineering. Accurate parameter estimation is very important because it is the base for ... -
The Likelihood Function For A Progressive Disease Model With A Bivariate Survival Function
( Qatar University , 1995 , Article)A model for the natural history of a progressive disease is developed. The model has three disease states and can be expressed as the joint distribution of two survival random variables. Covariate information is incorporated ... -
Likelihood Inference for Step Stress Partially Accelerated Life Test Model with Type I Progressively Hybrid Censored Data from Generalized Exponential Distribution
(2021 , Master Thesis)This thesis considers the statistical inference on the generalized exponential distribution parameters in presence of progressive Type-I censoring under partially accelerated life test. The maximum likelihood method ... -
Likelihood ratio interpretation of the relative risk
( BMJ Publishing Group , 2022 , Article)Interpreting diagnostic test results in medicine The likelihood ratio (LR) is today commonly used in medicine for diagnostic inference. Historically, it was preceded by introduction, in 1966, of the predictive value ... -
LIME: Long-Term Forecasting Model for Desalination Membrane Fouling to Estimate the Remaining Useful Life of Membrane
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2023 , Conference Paper)Membrane fouling is one of the major problems in desalination processes as it can cause a severe drop in the quality and quantity of the permeate water. This paper presents a data-driven approach for long-term forecasting ... -
Limitations and high pressure behavior of MOF-5 for CO2 capture
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2013 , Article)Porous network structures (e.g. metal–organic frameworks, MOFs) show considerable potential in dethroning monoethanol amine (MEA) from being the dominant scrubber for CO2 at the fossil-fuel-burning power generators. In ... -
Limited feedback unitary precoding for MIMO full stream transmission
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Article)Limited feedback precoding (LFP) significantly improves multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing link reliability with a small amount of feedback from the receiver back to the transmitter. One of the key ... -
Limited random walk algorithm for big graph data clustering
( SpringerOpen , 2016 , Article)Graph clustering is an important technique to understand the relationships between the vertices in a big graph. In this paper, we propose a novel random-walk-based graph clustering method. The proposed method restricts the ... -
Limiting the Rise in Core Temperature During a Rugby Sevens Warm-up With an Ice Vest.
( Human Kinetics , 2019 , Article)Determine how a cooling vest worn during a warm-up could influence selected performance [counter movement jump (CMJ)], physical (GPS metrics) and psycho-physiological (body temperature and perceptual) variables. In a ... -
Limits and possible solutions in quantum dot organic solar cells
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article Review)In this review article, we present recent advancements in the field of organic photovoltaics (OPV) that have been achieved through the applications of quantum dots (QDs). We describe the leading experimental accomplishments ... -
Lineament Analysis Of Qatar Peninsula Based On Landsat Imagery
( Qatar University , 1990 , Article)Photo-interpretation of Landsat MSS images of Qatar Peninsula reveals several surface lineaments of different types, extentions and trends. Some of these photo-lineaments are of structural nature while others represent ... -
LINEAR AND BAYESIAN ESTIMATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE TYPE II GENERALIZED LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTION BASED ON PROGRESSIVELY TYPE II CENSORED DATA
(06-2 , Master Thesis)Generalized distributions have become widely used in applications recently. They are very flexible in data analysis, especially with skewed models that are important and occur frequently in many applications. In particular, ... -
Linear and nonlinear viscoelastic and viscoplastic analysis of asphalt binders with warm mix asphalt additives
