Competition, facilitation, and niche differentiation in two foliar pathogens
( Springer Berlin / Heidelberg , 2004 , Article)We studied competition between the obligate biotroph Puccinia triticina (designated here as Puccinia) and the facultative saprophyte Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (designated here as Pyrenophora) in older and younger leaves ... -
Competitive adsorptive removal of promazine and promethazine from wastewater using olive tree pruning biochar: operational parameters, kinetics, and equilibrium investigations
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)This research aims to remove two phenothiazines, promazine (PRO) and promethazine (PMT), from their individual and binary mixtures using olive tree pruning biochar (BC-OTPR). The impact of individual and combinatory effects ... -
Competitive Dynamics Between Multinational Companies and Local Rivals in Emerging Markets
( SAGE , 2020 , Article)Multinational Companies from Emerging Economies (EMNCs) have become key players in the global economy. EMNCs have started to operate in highly dynamic, competitive environments where they are faced with competition from ... -
Competitive priorities and engagement: can they be a source of satisfaction? Customer-centered model

Competitive priorities for regional operations: a Delphi study
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)Perceptions and principles of competitiveness in the context of production and operations management (POM) have evolved over time towards trends in which firms compete at supply chain level. This evolution underscores the ... -
Competitive Quantization for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search
( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Article)In this study, we propose a novel vector quantization algorithm for Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) search, based on a joint competitive learning strategy and hence called as competitive quantization (CompQ). CompQ is ... -
A competitive search approach to exchange rate pass-through
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)We develop an open economy, search theoretic, monetary model with heterogeneous households which is characterized by incomplete pass-through of exchange rate movements to import price indices. Partial pass-through arises ... -

Complex-impedance response of an Ag/TeO2-V2O5/Ag structure
( Elsevier , 2009 , Article)The ac conductivity of glass samples of composition 50 mol% TeO2 and 50 mol% V2O5 has been analyzed. The samples were prepared by the usual melt-quench method. The electrical conductance and capacitance were measured over ... -
Complexity and Use in Building Evaluation (CUBE2): The Modular Case of the BCR Corridors at Qatar University
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)The BCR Corridors at QU are notorious for wayfinding difficulties of end-users in the building complex. These navigation problems appear to arise due to the repetitive similarity of individual parts in its modular design, ... -
Complexity of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks in Mobile Computing
( Hindawi , 2020 , Article)Neural networks employ massive interconnection of simple computing units called neurons to compute the problems that are highly nonlinear and could not be hard coded into a program. These neural networks are computation-intensive, ... -
Compliance checking for usage-constrained credentials in trust negotiation systems
( Springer Berlin Heidelberg , 2012 , Conference Paper)We propose an approach to placing usage-constraints on RT credentials; issuers specify constraints by designing non-deterministic finite automata. We show by examples that this approach can express constraints of practical ... -
