In-service video-vibration monitoring for identification of walking patterns in an office floor
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Footfall-induced vibrations in office floors can create significant problems for the occupants and facility owners. Such vibrations cannot be modeled by traditional load models since the vibration response of a floor depends ...
Association of β-Adrenergic Receptor Gene Polymorphisms With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in an Arab Population
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We evaluated the association between beta-adrenergic receptor genes (ADRB1 and ADRB2) polymorphism, cardiovascular risk, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in individuals from an Arab ethnicity. A total of 388 Qatari ...
Understanding ethanol hydrogen abstraction mechanism on CuNi catalyst
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this work we report the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using solution combustion synthesis. These nanopowders are used as catalyst in ethanol decomposition reaction for hydrogen production. In situ study of ...
Solving security problems in MEC systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
We propose an algorithm for constructing efficient security strategies in the mobile edge computing (MEC), where the protected targets are nodes connected to the MEC and the mobile users (MUs) are agents capable of preventing ...
Fumed SiO2 nanoparticle reinforced biopolymer blend nanocomposites with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss for flexible organic electronics
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, fumed silica (SiO2) nanoparticle reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) blend nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple solution‐blending technique. Fourier transform ...
Inventory models for joint pricing and greening effort decisions with discounts
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Purpose: This paper aims to develop efficient decision support tools for a firm?s environment protection by using greening effort while yet improving profitability by utilizing pricing and inventory decisions with discount ...
DroidNative: Automating and optimizing detection of Android native code malware variants
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
According to the Symantec and F-Secure threat reports, mobile malware development in 2013 and 2014 has continued to focus almost exclusively (~99%) on the Android platform. Malware writers are applying stealthy mutations ...
A Bayesian approach for model identification of LPV systems with uncertain scheduling variables
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a Gaussian Process (GP) based Bayesian method that takes into account the effect of additive noise on the scheduling variables for identification of linear parameter-varying (LPV) models in input-output ...
Optimal Design of Cogeneration Systems Based on Flaring and Venting Streams and Accounting for the Involved Uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
This work presents an optimization approach to design cogeneration systems able to use flare streams as supplementary fuel during normal and abnormal operation in oil complexes, while the problems associated with flaring ...
Temperature dependence of the pressure induced monoclinic distortion in the spin S=1/2 Shastry–Sutherland compound SrCu2(BO3)2
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
We investigate the monoclinic distortion that occurs at 4.7 GPa at room temperature in the frustrated Shastry-Sutherland model quantum magnet SrCu 2(BO3)2 as a function of pressure and temperature by means of powder and ...
