The motion of a point vortex in multiply-connected polygonal domains
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2020 , Article)We study the motion of a single point vortex in simply-and multiply-connected polygonal domains. In the case of multiply-connected domains, the polygonal obstacles can be viewed as the cross-sections of 3D polygonal ... -
Motivation toward Physical Exercise and Subjective Wellbeing: The Mediating Role of Trait Self-Control
( Frontiers Media , 2016 , Article)Motivation toward physical exercise (MPE) and trait self-control (TSC) were identified as key predictors of subjective well being (SWB). However, there has not been any research designed to examine the mediating role of ... -
Motivation, preference, socioeconomic, and building features: New paradigm of analyzing electricity consumption in residential buildings
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)In strategic energy planning, human-oriented factors are uncertain and lead to unpredictable challenges. Thus, decision-makers must contextualize the target society to address these uncertainties. More precisely, uncertainties ... -
Mössbauer effect study of Li21+Me4+Fe63+O122−spinels
( Baltzer Science Publishers, Baarn/Kluwer Academic Publishers , 1986 , Article)Mossbauer effect spectra are obtained for the cubic ferrites Li2 Me Fe6 O12 (where Me4+ is one of the tetravalent elements Ge, Si and Ti) at 78K up to their magnetic transition temperatures. In a rather large temperature ... -
Mössbauer study of ZnxNi5/3−xFe1Sb1/3O4 spinel ferrite
( Springer Verlag , 1985 , Article)The antimony substituted nickel ferrite ZnxNi5/3–xFe1Sb1/3O4 with different values ofx are prepared, checked by x-ray and studied with57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy over a wide temperature range. Characteristic spectra of ... -
mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against the B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 variants and severe COVID-19 disease in Qatar
(2021 , Article)The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to be a global health concern. The mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine was reported to have an efficacy of 94.1% at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 due to infection with ‘wild-type’ variants in a ... -
A multi-criteria approach of assessing public transport accessibility at a strategic level
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)This paper presents an approach for accessibility categorization in areas where there is no extensive data available to run the conventional analysis. The presented method has the advantages of the lower data requirements ... -
Multi-layered documentation of heritage villages: The case of tinbak, qatar
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)Heritage settlements have long histories that consist of multiple layers of urban layouts, building forms, and culture. Looking at the first layer that formed the initiation stage of the growth becomes a difficult task ... -
Multi-soliton solutions of the BBM equation arisen in shallow water
( International Scientific Research Publications , 2016 , Article)In this work, multiple soliton solutions and multiple singular soliton solutions are formally derived for the BBM equation. A novel transformation method combined with the Hirota's bilinear method are used to determine the ... -
Multi-species attributes as the condition for adaptive sampling of rare species using two-stage sequential sampling with an auxiliary variable
( The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc , 2011 , Conference Paper)Assessing populations of rare species is challenging because of the large effort required to locate patches of occupied habitat and achieve precise estimates of density and abundance. The presence of a rare species has ... -

( MDPI , 2021 , Article Review)The high volume of information produced in the age of omics was and still is an important step to understanding several pathological processes, providing the enlightenment of complex molecular networks and the identification ... -
Multiple linear regression and artificial neural networks for delta-endotoxin and protease yields modelling of Bacillus thuringiensis
( Springer Verlag , 2017 , Article)The aim of the present work was to develop a model that supplies accurate predictions of the yields of delta-endotoxins and proteases produced by B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1. Using available medium ingredients as ... -
Multistable dynamics and control of a new 4D memristive chaotic Sprott B system
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This work proposes and investigates the dynamic behavior of a new memristive chaotic Sprott B system. One of the interesting features of this system is that it has a bias term that can adjust the symmetry of the proposed ... -
The multistage homotopy-perturbation method: A powerful scheme for handling the Lorenz system
( Elsevier , 2007 , Article)In this paper, a new reliable algorithm based on an adaptation of the standard homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is presented. The HPM is treated as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals (i.e. time step) for finding ... -
