Optimizing Energy Consumption of Cloud Computing IaaS
(2017-05)Cloud computing infrastructures are designed to support the accessibility and availability of various services to consumers over the Internet. Datacenters hosting Cloud applications consume massive amounts of power, ... -
Optimizing the Energy Production for a Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) Water System
(2022-05)The maximum exploitation of solar energy can be achieved through the optimization of a photo-voltaic thermal (PVT) system. In the PVT system, the (PV) module is cooled down by a water-based thermal collector, and as a ... -
Optimizing the use of ultrasound to deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2011)In this study, we present an artificial neural network (ANN) model that attempts to predict the dynamic release of doxorubicin (Dox) from P105 micelles under different ultrasonic power densities at 20 kHz. The goal is to ... -
Optimum ethane recovery in conventional turboexpander process
(Elsevier, 2010)Ethane recovery in a conventional turboexpander process is optimized considering different demethanizer pressures and different feeds: a lean gas and a rich one. The design variables are varied, while meeting process ... -
Optimum seismic design of unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete walls using ANN
(2014-04)Precast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) provided an iterative procedure for obtaining optimum design of unbonded post-tensioned coupled precast concrete wall systems. Although PRESSS procedure is effective, however, ... -
Optimum sizing of steam turbines for concentrated solar power plants
(2012)In this work, a selection of the optimum steam turbine type and size for integration in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants is carried out. In particular, the optimum steam turbine input and output interfaces for a ... -
Option convergence rate with geometric random walks approximations
(Taylor & Frances Online, 2016)We describe a broad setting under which, for European options, if the underlying asset form a geometric random walk then, the error with respect to the Black–Scholes model converges to zero at a speed of 1/𝑛 for continuous ... -

Oral ESL Test Anxiety with Emirati Secondary School Students
(2011-06)In the UAE and globally, high-stakes testing is prevalent in second language learning. One important and integral part of high-stakes English language tests is the oral proficiency interview, which can be a pre-requisite ... -
Organ-specific toxicity evaluation of stearamidopropyl dimethylamine (SAPDMA) surfactant using zebrafish embryos
(Elsevier, 2020)Surfactants are widely used in the industry of detergents, household products, and cosmetics. SAPDMA is a cationic surfactant that is used mostly in cosmetics, conditioning agents and has recently gained attention as a ... -
Organizational forgetting Part I: a review of the literature and future research directions
(Emerald Publishing, 2020)The purpose of this paper is to systematically review and synthesize the literature on organizational forgetting. A systematic literature review approach was used to synthesize current theoretical and empirical studies on ... -
Organized Crimes Against Nature: Elephants in Southern Africa.
(2015-02)Poaching of elephants in Southern Africa is now dominated by international groups following a model of organized crime. This shift, from poaching conducted by small, local groups; with limited mobility, weapons, and ... -
Outcomes and Key Factors of Success for ISO 14001 Certification: Evidence from an Emerging Arab Gulf Country
(MDPI, 2019)The objectives of this research were: (1) To examine the outcomes and key factors of success (KFS) related to ISO 14001 certification, (2) to compare and contrast these in private organizations (PRIVOs) and public organizations ... -
Outdoor Insulators Testing Using Artificial Neural Network-Based Near-Field Microwave Technique
(2014-02)This paper presents a novel artificial neural network (ANN)-based near-field microwave nondestructive testing technique for defect detection and classification in nonceramic insulators (NCI). In this paper, distribution ... -
Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake
(Elseviser, 2008)Ultrasound (US) is used to enhance and target delivery of drugs and genes to cancer tissues. The present study further examines the role of acoustic cavitation in US-induced permeabilization of cell membranes and subsequent ... -
