Perspectives of family–school relationships in Qatar based on Epstein’s model of six types of parent involvement
(
Routledge
, 2018 , Article)
Establishing a collaborative relationship between family and school is associated with positive outcomes for children; however, little research exists, especially in the Arab Gulf region, on whether the perspectives of ...
High-intensity interval training improves acute plasma volume responses to exercise that is age dependent
(
American Physiological Society
, 2018 , Article)
Plasma volume (PV) is affected by several factors including age, physical training and, acutely, by exercise intensity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training ...
Mechanical and Thermal Analysis of Classical Functionally Graded Coated Beam
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
The governing equation of a classical rectangular coated beam made of two layers subjected to thermal and uniformly distributed mechanical loads are derived by using the principle of virtual displacements and based on ...
An effective technique utilizing frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear
(
ISEC Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the efficacy of a new technique of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) for the strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) beams. This technique involves embedding the FRCM ...
Effectiveness of frcm system in strengthening rc beams in shear using hybrid nse/eb technique
(
ISEC Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents an experimental study on the efficacy of a recently introduced hybrid "near surface embedded/ externally bonded" NSE/EB fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Seven medium scale RC beams, deficient ...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus in pregnancy: The impact of maternal weight and early glycaemic control on outcomes.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
To study the pregnancy outcomes in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to relate these to maternal risk factors. We conducted a retrospective study of 419 women with T2DM (index group)- who attended our diabetes ...
Selection of slat separation-to-width ratio of brise-soleil shading considering energy savings, CO2 emissions and visual comfort – a case study in Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The addition of fixed external shading devices to glazed surfaces reduces the space loads and sensations of visual discomfort caused by excessive day-lighting. The slat-to-slat separation distance of the brise-soleil blinds ...
Refining the ambiguity domain characteristics of non-stationary signals for improved time–frequency analysis: Test case of multidirectional and multicomponent piecewise LFM and HFM signals
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper aims at providing a more accurate description of the ambiguity domain characteristics of a piecewise multicomponent non-stationary signals with focus on piece-wise linear frequency modulated (LFM) (PW-LFM) signal ...
Scale heterogeneity in discrete choice experiment: An application of generalized mixed logit model in air travel choice
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This study explores to what extent scale heterogeneity (i.e., varying standard deviation of the errors across consumers) is important in air travel choice using data from a stated preference discrete choice experiment. We ...
Designing high-resolution time–frequency and time–scale distributions for the analysis and classification of non-stationary signals: a tutorial review with a comparison of features performance
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
This paper deals with the problem of extracting information from non-stationary signals in the form of features that can be used for effective decision-making in both data analysis and machine learning for automatic ...
