Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy: Prediction of complications using fuzzy logic
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Article)
Introduction: Cranial reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy (DC) has been shown to be associated with a relatively high complication rate (16.4%-34%) compared with standard neurosurgical procedures (2%-5%). Most ...

This article shares my experiences with the project-based methodology of teaching the same material that a standard text in robotics would teach and will comparatively elaborate the improvement observed in the group of ...
Fuzzy detection of critical cardiac abnormalities using ECG data: A ubiquitous approach
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Electrocardiogram (ECG) based health diagnosis of cardiac diseases has been a saturated area of research and almost any known heart-condition can be detected and diagnosed by doctors in the hospital setting. However, these ...
Blind deconvolution and retinal abnormality detection in blurred retinal images
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2011 , Article)
In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from retinal imaging; both regular as well as Fluorescein Angiography. While in most of the cases, the image produced is quite clean and ...
Virtual environments for improving construction site safety
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2011 , Article)
This paper aims to present a visual simulation technique for improving construction site safety based on virtual construction environments (VCE). Additionally, the paper presents a framework to conduct true ‘what-if’ ...

This study attempts to find whether market concentration has been a main driver for market power in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) banking industry over the period of 2002-2008. Using the methodology of the new empirical ...
Feedback information and consumer motivation: The moderating role of positive and negative reference values in self-regulation
(
Emerald Publishing
, 2011 , Article)
Purpose: Marketers spend considerable resources to motivate people to consume their products and services as a means of goal attainment. Why people change their consumption behaviour is based largely on these goals; many ...
