Neural Networks as a Convex Problem
(2016-09)We reformulated the problem of training the neural networks model into a convex optimization problem by performing a local quadratic expansion of the cost function and adding the necessary constraints. We designed a new ... -
Neuro-Linguistic Programming in the ESL Classroom in the UAE
(2023-11)Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a practical approach to language learning and teaching that focuses on understanding the thought and behavior patterns underlying communication and skill acquisition (Day, 2008). Despite ... -
Neuro-Wavelet Based Islanding Detection Technique
(2010-05)Integrating distributed generator into the existing distribution network is predicted to play an important role in the near future. Distributed generators, specifically renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic, ... -
A new characterization of periodic oscillations in periodic difference equations
(Elsevier, 2011-11)In this paper, we characterize periodic solutions of p-periodic difference equations. We classify the periods into multiples of p and nonmultiples of p. We show that the elements of the set of multiples of p follow the ... -
A New Data-Based Dust Estimation Unit for PV Panels
(MDPI, 2020)Solar photovoltaic (PV) is playing a major role in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) smart grid infrastructure. However, one of the challenges facing PV-based energy systems is the dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust ... -
A New Extension of Generalized Exponential Distribution with Application to Ozone Data
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)In this article, a new distribution, called transformed Generalized Exponential Distribution () is proposed. The distribution has simple closed forms pdf and cdf. Several properties of the distribution are studied including ... -
The New Generation of Students: How colleges can recruit, teach, and serve Gen Z
(The Chronicle of Higher Education, 2018)This Chronicle report draws on demographic trends, surveys, front-line observations, and an expanding array of Gen Z books and experts to introduce the new generation to campus leaders. Details are still emerging, but Gen ... -
A new method to improve the lifetime stability of small molecule bilayer heterojunction organic solar cells
(2013-02)Unencapsulated small molecular solar cells with a layer of carboxylated copper phthalocyanine (CuPc⁎) introduced between the donor copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and acceptor 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride ... -
Next Generation 10 Gb/s RZ Optical Transmitters
(2004-05)We propose an alternate chirp RZ optical transmitter that provides telecommunication carriers with a cost effective solution for upgrading the existing 2.5 Gb/s fiber links to 10 Gb/s. The performance of the proposed ... -
Nitinol Stents: A Finite Element Analysis of their Interaction with the Wall of Blood Vessels
(2023-12)The recent decades have seen huge improvements in stent implantation in arteries affected by atherosclerosis. The latter entails the partial blocking or complete occlusion of the lumen. Self-expandable stents are being ... -
Non-Destructive Water Leak Detection Using Multitemporal Infrared Thermography
(IEEE, 2021)Waterleakage detection and localization in distribution networks pipelines is a challenge for utility companies. For this purpose, thermal Infrared Radiation (IR) techniques have been widely applied in the literature. ... -
Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Base Plates on Leveling Nuts
(2012-01)Base plates are used to connect structural members to their foundations. They are routinely used in cantilevered structures supporting traffic utilities like overhead cantilevered direction signboards, traffic signals, ... -
Non-Linear Modeling and Control of Unmanned Air Vehicle
(2012-05)The aim of this thesis is to design and simulate a Dynamic Inversion based autopilot for a fixed wing aircraft. The autopilot provides the aircraft motion stability by commanding the different aircraft control surfaces and ... -
Non-Linear Profile Monitoring Using Artificial Neural Network Fault Detection
(2018-04)In today’s world, the development of technology and industrial systems is becoming much more complex with the ever-demanding need for higher quality. Anomaly detection is the characterization of a normal behavior of a ... -
Non-Viral Gene Transfection with Ultrasound: Is 100% Transfection Possible?
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012)Ultrasound has been used as a modality to enhance the transfection of cells, purportedly via entry of genetic material through defects in the cell membrane produced by bubble cavitation events. A mathematical model was ... -
Nonlinear Adaptive Control of Quadrotor
(2014-02)In this research, nonlinear and adaptive controls of quadrotors are designed. The system is considered as an under-actuated system, which has six degrees of freedom (DOF) and four actuators. In addition, a nonlinear model ... -
