Background Diabetes mellitus is recognized as a major public health issue and is one of the top ten causes of death in Qatar. Objective To describe the activities, and attitudes of Qatar pharmacists toward diabetes, to ...
Relay selection in FDD amplify-and-forward cooperative networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the problems of relay selection and distributed beamforming are investigated for bi-directional dual-hop amplify-and-forward frequency-division duplex cooperative wireless networks. When using individual ...
Pareto-front analysis of a monotonie PI control law for slip suppression in a robotic manipulator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel slip-suppression controller for a two-fingered robotic manipulator, where the goal is to minimize the slip distance without using excessive force. To do this, we consider monotonic PI (MPI) ...
High-gain DC-DC converters for high-power PV applications: Performance assessment
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Conventional non-isolated DC-DC converters provide limited practical gains at high duty cycles due to their parasitic losses. Such trend is not suitable for renewables grid integration due to the high required gain, while ...

Preparation and optimization of monodisperse polymeric microparticles using modified vibrating orifice aerosol generator for controlled delivery of letrozole in breast cancer therapy
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Letrozole (LTZ) is effective for the treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. In this work, and for the first time, using vibrating orifice aerosol generator (VOAG) technology, monodisperse ...
Hybrid and modular multilevel converter designs for isolated HVDC-DC converters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Efficient medium and high-voltage dc-dc conversion is critical for future dc grids. This paper proposes a hybrid multilevel dc-ac converter structure that is used as the kernel of dc-dc conversion systems. Operation of the ...
