Effect of surface roughening on concrete/trm bond
(
ISEC Press
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) is applied on the concrete surface with the aim of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. The performance of the strengthened structural system is directly related to the bond between ...
Stadium vibration assessment for serviceability considering the vibration duration
(
Canadian Society for Civil Engineering
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Vibration problems in grandstand structures have been getting more attention due to increasing slenderness of architectural components and the complexity of crowd loading for structural designers. The vibration serviceability ...
Assessment of tire-pavement noise by using on-board sound intensity (Obsi) method in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Tire-pavement noise is the dominant source of traffic noise especially at medium and high speeds. Thus, various transportation agencies and researchers are actively investigating for establishment of accurate test methods ...
Proton pump inhibitor co-prescription with dual antiplatelet therapy among patients with acute coronary syndrome in Qatar
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
Background There are increasing concerns about clinically significant interactions between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and clopidogrel, resulting in adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes ...
IoT-based smart parking system for sporting event management
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
By connecting devices, people, vehicles and infrastructures everywhere in a city, governments and their partners can improve community wellbeing and other economic and financial aspects (e.g., cost and energy savings). ...
Activation of the pro-oxidant PKC?IIp66Shc Signaling pathway contributes to pericyte dysfunction in skeletal muscles of patients with diabetes with critical limb Ischemia
(
American Diabetes Association Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), foot ulcers, former amputation, and impaired regeneration are independent risk factors for limb amputation in subjects with diabetes. The present work investigates whether and by which mechanism ...
Quantification of carcinogenic odor of formaldehyde with electronic nose technologyd
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Based on recent experimental discoveries about a link between the length of exposure to formaldehyde and cancers of the lymphatic and hematopoietic systems, we present a low-cost and compact solution for monitoring ...
Quasi-sparsest solutions for quantized compressed sensing by graduated-non-convexity based reweighted ?1minimization
(
European Signal Processing Conference, EUSIPCO
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we address the problem of sparse signal recovery from scalar quantized compressed sensing measurements, via optimization. To compensate for compression losses due to dimensionality reduction and quantization, ...
On quantized compressed sensing with saturated measurements via convex optimization
(
European Signal Processing Conference, EUSIPCO
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we address the problem of sparse signal recovery, from multi-bit scalar quantized compressed sensing measurements, where the saturation issue is taken into account. We propose a convex optimization approach, ...
PLATE-PBL: Development and implementation of a script-based PBL environment in moodle
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper describes the work involved in developing a script-based PBL environment in Moodle. PLATE-PBL is a Moodle plug-in based entirely on the meta-model of the PBL scripting language. The plug-in dynamically transforms ...
