(American Chemical Society, 2019-06)A simple predictive molecular thermodynamic model for bulk phases and interfaces is presented. The model combines features of the quantitative structure–property relationships (QSPR) approach, the equation-of-state approach, ... -
2.4 a system of reference for software measurements with ISO 19761
(CRC Press, 2016-04)Software measurement is still emerging as a field of knowledge, and, most often, traditional quality criteria of measurement methods such as repeatability, reproducibility, accuracy and convertibility are not even investigated ... -
2.5 COSMIC FFP and Functional Complexity (FC) Measures: A Study of Their Scales, Units, and Scale Types
(CRC Press, 2016-04)This paper presents an overview of some measurement concepts across both COSMIC-FFP, an ISO standard (ISO/IEC 19761) for functional size measurement and Functional Complexity (FC), an entropy-based measure. It investigates ... -
237. Unified numerical treatment of hyperelastic and rubber‐like constitutive laws
(Wiley Online Library, 1991-11)A unified numerical treatment for handling various forms of constitutive relations for hyperelastic and rubber-like materials is presented. A general form for the stress and the constitutive tensors is derived. The form ... -
6‐MV small field output factors: intra‐/intermachine comparison and implementation of TRS‐483 using various detectors and several linear accelerators
(American Association of Physicists In Medicine, 2019-11)The TRS-483 Code of Practice (CoP) introduced and provided output correction factors to be applied to measured detector-reading ratios to obtain OFs for several small-field detectors. Detector readings for 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm ... -
AAKE-BIVT: Anonymous Authenticated Key Exchange Scheme for Blockchain-Enabled Internet of Vehicles in Smart Transportation
(IEEE Xplore, 2022-11)The next-generation Internet of vehicles (IoVs) seamlessly connects humans, vehicles, roadside units (RSUs), and service platforms, to improve road safety, enhance transit efficiency, and deliver comfort while conserving ... -
Ab Initio Study on Dopant Relaxation Mechanism in Ti and Ce Cationically Substituted in Wurtzite Gallium Nitride
(2022-05)The changes in properties of materials upon introduction of impurities is well documented but less is known about the location of foreign atoms in different hosts. This study is carried out with the motivation to explore ... -
Abu Dhabi and the pandemic crisis. The Covid-19 response as an opportunity towards a new social condition
(Altralinea, 2021-02)The Covid-19 pandemic is ongoing with countries and cities reacting in different ways. Abu Dhabi is considered a success story, as it managed to flatten the curves, minimize casualties and still display a sense of confidence ... -
Abu Dhabi public spaces; Urban encounters, social diversity and (in)formality
(Motivate Media Group, 2021-03)Abu Dhabi public spaces is the result of a two-year research project on urbanity and the behavioral mapping of the inhabitants' daily practices. Focusing on fourteen well-known public spaces - both formal and informal - ... -
The Abu Dhabi waterfront; Evolution, land use dynamics and the question of the open city
(AMPS, 2019-01)Waterfronts are some of the most dynamic urban elements. They reflect the inner social and morphological conditions that carve the city. They provide opportunities (such as tourism, real estate, infra networking and ... -
Abu Dhabi’s Downtown Area, An Examination of Modernist Applications of the international style; Superblocks in a Modern Arab City, Improving Visibility and Social Space
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02)Currently Abu Dhabi is expanding along its shorefronts and urban Islands creating many iconic buildings and social spaces, however, the downtown area is in need of regeneration. The city centre remains popular for a ... -
Abu Dhabi’s New Urban Islands and Shorefront Development
(2016)Abu Dhabi is in the process of urbanizing a group of Islands that surround its northern and eastern coastlines. Al-Lulu, Al-Saadiyat, Al- Maryah, Al-Reem and Yas Islands are all new urban enclaves that were desert islands ... -
Accelerating Viterbi Algorithm using Custom Instruction Approach
(IEEE, 2018)In recent years, the decoding algorithms in communication networks are becoming increasingly complex aiming to achieve high reliability in correctly decoding received messages. These decoding algorithms involve computationally ... -
Accurate identification of renal transplant rejection: convolutional neural networks and diffusion MRI
(Academic Press, 2021-01)For the past several years the ability of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to provide a noninvasive assessment of renal transplant function has been investigated. The goal of this chapter is to develop ... -
Activated carbon nanofibers from lignin/recycled-PET and their adsorption capacity of refractory sulfur compounds from fossil fuels
(2022-03)carbon nanofibers (CNFs) from a blend of lignin with recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (r-PET) were produced from the thermal treatment of precursor electrospun lignin/r-PET nanofibrous mats. The impact of the lignin/r-PET ... -
