Lateral Confinement of RC Columns by Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands
(2016-12)The most common type of lateral reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) columns is rectilinear steel ties. Ties provide confinement to the concrete core increasing its compressive strength and ductility. Past studies ... -
Lateral Earth Pressure on Non-Yielding Walls Supporting Over-Consolidated Sand
(2013-07)The most important problem associated with retaining wall structures is the additional compaction-induced lateral earth pressure. Currently, none of the available design methods used to calculate the lateral earth force ... -
LC Impedance Source Bi-Directional Converter with Reduced Capacitor Voltages
(MDPI, 2020)This paper proposes an LC (Inductor and Capacitor) impedance source bi-directional DC–DC converter by redesigning after rearranging the reduced number of components of a switched boost bi-directional DC–DC converter. This ... -

Leadership in the promotion of peace: Interviews with the 2015 Business for Peace honorees
(Elsevier, 2016-09)Ethical leadership can lead to many positive organizational outcomes. Previous studies have shown a correlation between ethical conduct and profitability; in addition, firms that have high ethical standards have fewer legal ... -
Learning Based Spectrum Sensing in OFDM Cognitive Radios
(2012-05)Cognitive Radio (CR) is an innovative technology introduced to efficiently utilize the spectrum. It allows secondary users to access the licensed portion of the spectrum when it is not occupied by the primary licensed user. ... -
Learning-Based Automatic Modulation Classification
(2015-05)Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) is a new technology implemented into communication receivers to automatically determine the modulation type of a received signal. One of the main applications of AMC is in adaptive ... -
Learning-Based Space-Time Adaptive Processing
(2013-06)The probability of target detection in airborne-radar missions depends on the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. In order to maximize the probability of detection, it is necessary to maximize the target ... -
Learning-Based Spectrum Sensing and Access for Cognitive Radio Systems
(2015-06)Spectrum management is one of the most important elements of the overall design of cognitive radio systems. Primary users (PUs), or license holders, should not be affected by the opportunistic use of the spectrum by the ... -
Lessons learned from the underrepresentation of women in STEM: AI-enabled solutions and more
(Elsevier, 2021)The absence of women in STEM and energy sectors is driven by discrimination and socio-cultural factors. A greater number of women “leak out” from Energy and STEM fields than men. AI-enabled solutions offer analysis tools ... -
Level of Proficiency in Arabic and English, and Identity of Emirati Students in UAE Public Schools
(2012-05)Recently, a new dimension of learning a second language has gained interest in the literature. The identity of learners has made its way as a concept that has become central in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingual ... -
Lexical Cohesive Devices in Arab Students' Academic Writing: Implications for Teaching Vocabulary
(2006-05)This study investigated the use of English lexical cohesive devices by 40 undergraduate Arab students enrolled in advanced academic writing classes at the American University of Sharjah. The data were quantitatively analyzed ... -

Light Emitting Concrete (LEC)
(2014-07-22)Currently, the world recognizes concrete as just a dull, grey building material. However, concrete has the potential to cater to different functions as well. -
Light-Responsive Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) For Doxorubicin Controlled Release
(2023-04)The life cycle of human cells involves growth, divisions, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). However, DNA damage can cause some cells to proliferate uncontrollably, leading to cancer. While chemotherapy is an effective ... -
Linear Domesticity: The Hong Kong Single Occupancy Strip
(University of Cambridge, Department of Architecture, 2015)The Hong Kong Single Occupancy Strip (HK:SOS) project is a response to a growing housing crisis in Hong Kong, in which the domestic environments of the future are becoming more unaffordable and less habitable. In reaction ... -
Lipophilic Metabolites and Anatomical Acclimatization of Cleome amblyocarpa in the Drought and Extra-Water Areas of the Arid Desert of UAE
(MDPI, 2019)Plants adapt to different environmental conditions by developing structural and metabolic mechanisms. In this study, anatomical features and lipophilic metabolites were investigated in Cleome amblyocarpa Barr. & Murb., ... -
Liposomal drug release using ultrasound and modeling release dynamics for model predictive controller design
(2015-06)Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients such as fatigue, weight loss, pain, hair fall and nausea. Those side effects are due to the fact that most of the ... -
Liposomal Encapsulation of Chemotherapeutics Agents Combined with the Use of Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2023-07)Ultrasound (US) has numerous uses in the medical field, including imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; another interesting application of US in cancer therapy is as an external trigger in targeted drug delivery. ...
