The current state of female leadership in the United Arab Emirates
(Emerald, 2013)Purpose: To research the state of affairs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the presence (or absence) of women in senior business leadership positions, and to investigate where they are located within organizations ... -
Curriculum-guided Crowd Sourcing of Assessments in a Developing Country
(2012-10)Success of Wikipedia has opened a number of possibilities for crowd sourcing learning resources. However, not all crowd sourcing initiatives are successful. For developing countries, adoption factors like lack of infrastructure ... -
A Customer-Centered Smart Charging Strategy Considering Virtual Charging System
(IEEE Acess, 2022)Electric vehicle (EV) charging is considered as one of the main issues that face EV drivers. Thus, there should be a facility to suggest the best charging station based on the customer requirements. However, the routing ... -
Cyber Security of Market-Based Congestion Management Methods in Power Distribution Systems
(IEEE, 2021-03)As the penetration rate of flexible loads and Distributed Energy Resources in the distribution networks increases, congestion management techniques that utilize Demand Side Management (DSM) have been developed. These are ... -
Cyclic Production Scheduling with Remanufacturing
(2015-06)The cyclic production scheduling problem is concerned with the development of a least-cost cyclic production schedule for a set of tasks required to produce a set of products over a given production cycle and according to ... -
Cyclic Sequential Removal of Alizarin Red S Dye and Cr(VI) Ions Using Wool as a Low-Cost Adsorbent
(MDPI, 2020)Alizarin red S (ARS) removal from wastewater using sheep wool as adsorbent was investigated. The influence of contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, initial ARS concentration and temperature was studied. Optimum values were: ... -
Cytosolic Delivery of Doxorubicin from Liposomes to Multidrug-Resistant Cancer Cells via Vaporization of Perfluorocarbon Droplets
(MedCrave, 2017)A common mechanism of multidrug resistance is the upregulation of efflux pumps in the cancer cells that can more rapidly export unwanted materials (e.g. cancer drugs) out of the cell, compared to sensitive cancer cells. ... -
Damage modeling of ballistic penetration and impact behavior of concrete panel under low and high velocities
(China Ordnance Society, 2021)This work presents a numerical simulation of ballistic penetration and high velocity impact behavior of plain and reinforced concrete panels. This paper is divided into two parts. The first part consists of numerical ... -
Data Communication through Distribution Network for Smart Grid Applications

Data for Interaction Diagrams of Geopolymer FRC Slender Columns with Double-Layer GFRP and Steel Reinforcement
(MDPI, 2021)This article provides data of axial load-bending moment capacities of plain and fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete (GPC, FRGPC) columns. The columns were reinforced by double layers of longitudinal and transverse ... -
Data Hiding in MPEG Video Files Using Multivariate Regression and Flexible Macroblock Ordering
(IEEE, 2012)This paper proposes two data hiding approaches using compressed MPEG video. The first approach hides message bits by modulating the quantization scale of a constant bitrate video. A payload of one message bit per macroblock ... -
Data-Driven Detection of Electricity Theft Cyberattacks in PV Generation
(IEEE, 2021-09)Most of the existing research focuses on electricity theft cyber-attacks in the consumption domain. On the contrary, a high penetration level of distributed generators (DGs) may result in increased electricity theft ... -
