It is time to put special tests for rotator cuff-related shoulder pain out to pasture
( Movement Science Media , 2020 , Article)Abstract Synopsis “Special tests” for rotator cuff–related shoulder pain (RCRSP) have passed their sell-by date. In this Viewpoint, we outline fundamental flaws in the validity of these tests and their proposed ability ... -
IT outsourcing intent in academic institutions in GCC countries: An empirical investigation and multi-criteria decision model for vendor selection
( Emerald Group Publishing Ltd. , 2016 , Article)Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to understand the reasons behind the intent for information technology (IT) outsourcing in academic institutions in GCC countries. It also aims to develop a multi-criteria decision ... -
"It's disappointing and it's pretty frustrating, because it feels like it's something that will never go away." A qualitative study exploring individuals' beliefs and experiences of Achilles tendinopathy.
( Public Library of Science , 2020 , Article)Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common and often persistent musculoskeletal disorder affecting both athletic and non-athletic populations. Despite the relatively high incidence there is little insight into the impact and ... -
It's just not cricket: what we can learn about Qatar's sports strategy by comparing the FIFA World Cup with other mass-participation sports
( Gulf Studies center - College of Arts & Sciences - Qatar University , 2022 , Conference Paper)This paper sheds new light on the motivations and expectations of Qatar's hosting of FIFA 2022 Men's World Cup by comparing football with another popular sport in the country: cricket. In order to understand the particularities ... -
Italo-australian transnational houses: Built forms enhancing social capital
( ArchNet , 2016 , Article)The literature reveals that culture, as a way of life, is a factor determining the house's spatial form, which, in turn, can contribute to the construction and/or enhancement of social capital. Scholars also stress that ... -

Italo-Australian Transnational Houses: Critical Review of a Qualitative Research Study
( OMICS International , 2015 , Article Review)The research study aimed to understand how first generation Italian migrants in Brisbane have influenced the form of a specific typology of dwelling, the archetypal ‘house on a quarter-acre block’, in the post WWII period. In ... -
Italo-Australian Transnational Houses: Culture and Built Heritage as a Tool for Cultural Continuity
( Scientific & Academic Publishing , 2015 , Article)(The Problem) The classical theorist Vitruvius celebrates architecture as an expression of societies’ cultural factors where culture has a determinant role in shaping built forms. Despite this notion of architecture has ... -
Iterated unscented Kalman filter-based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic applications
(2013 , Conference Paper)One of main challenges in harvesting power from a PV source is maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This is due to the nonlinear behaviour and characteristics of PV arrays. Conventional MPPT techniques usually utilize a ... -
Iterative approximation of common attractive points of further generalized hybrid mappings
( SpringerInternationalPublishing , 2018 , Article)Our purpose in this paper is (i) to introduce the concept of further generalized hybrid mappings, (ii) to introduce the concept of common attractive points (CAP), and (iii) to write and use Picard-Mann iterative process ... -
Iterative blocking artefact reduction based on local contrast information
( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)Block based transform coding is the most popular technique for image and video compression. However, images compressed using block based algorithms exhibit highly visible blocking artifacts. We propose an iterative ... -
Iterative compressive estimation and decoding for network-channel-coded two-way relay sparse ISI channels
( IEEE , 2012 , Article)We propose an iterative compressive channel estimation and decoding scheme for network-channel-coded two-way relay sparse intersymbol interference channels. The underlying system model comprises two source nodes and one ... -
