Improvement of greenhouse by reducing gas emissions using replacement policy
(2013-01)This study aims to build a vehicle replacement model for air quality improvement by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. The model based on linear programming with the objective to reduce the total cost considering ... -
Improvements on Kidney Dialysis Treatment
(2014-01-19)The percentage of people suffering from kidney related diseases is alarmingly increasing. The current treatment for such diseases is the kidney dialysis that is proven to be an impractical solution for the problem. Thus, ... -
Improving INS/GPS Integration for Mobile Robotics Applications
(2008-04)As unmanned systems become more and more important, reliability and integrity issues become definite, specially when being implemented with low-cost (or sometimes are referred to as commercial-of-the shelf or COTS) sensors ... -
Improving the Efficacy of Anticancer Drugs via Encapsulation and Acoustic Release
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018)Conventional chemotherapeutics lack the specificity and controllability, thus may poison healthy cells while attempting to kill cancerous ones. Newly developed nano-drug delivery systems have shown promise in delivering ... -
Improving the Efficiency of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
(2014-07-22)Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are robotic vehicles that function without direct human monitoring. Their main purpose is to collect data, record 3D maps of surrounding underwater environment and conduct survey ... -
In Vitro Cell Work of Two Types of Targeted Nanoparticles with Ultrasound Triggering
(2020-11)Targeted liposomes have shown promising potential as effective chemotherapeutics delivery vehicles in Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs). Upon accumulation and internalization at the tumor site, the liposomes need to be ... -
In-Vehicle Performance Validation of the Semi-Active Hybrid Energy Storage System
(2015)A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) consisting of high-energy-density batteries and high-power-density Ultra-capacitors (UCs) can perform better than a battery alone powering an Electric Vehicle. Hybrid energy storage ... -
Incorporating Computer-Aided Software in the Undergraduate Chemical Engineering Core Courses
(Chemical Engineering Education, 2014)Introductions of computer-aided software and simulators are implemented during the sophomore-year of the chemical engineering (ChE) curriculum at the American University of Sharjah (AUS). Our faculty concurs that software ... -
Incremental and Heuristic Algorithms for Deriving Adaptive Distinguishing Test Cases for Nondeterministic Finite State Machines
(2017-09)Many methods are proposed for the construction of distinguishing test cases (DTCs) based on a specification given in the form of a Finite State Machine (FSM). In FSM-based testing, we have a black-box FSM Implementation ... -
Independent Sustainable City
(2015-02-01)Nowadays, cities are mostly relying on non-renewable sources of energy such as fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency estimates that in 2011, 81.2% of the world’s primary sources of energy came from fossil fuels. -

Indoor Localization Schemes for Mobile Robots
(2010-11)Mobile robots have taken a major role in indoor environments where they are used to accomplish high risk tasks instead of human beings, for example in war circumstances, dangerous chemical interactions, etc. Localization ... -
Indoor Positioning Techniques and Approaches for WI-FI Based Systems
(2015-06)The rapid expansion of smartphones' market coupled with the advances in mobile computing technology has opened up doors for new mobile services and applications. Quite a few of these services require the knowledge of the ... -
Inertial Navigation system of In-pipe Inspection Robot
(2016-05)The main goal of this study is to design and implement a robust inertial navigation system (INS) for in-pipe inspection robot. To achieve this goal, different mechanization approaches, that are derived in different frames ... -
Inflation expectations and energy price forecasting
(2014-03)In this study, we ask whether US consumers' inflation expectations provide useful information for accurately predicting the direction of change in energy prices. As such, we set up a forecasting model to generate the one-, ... -
The Influence of Entrepreneurial Action on Strategic Alignment in New Ventures
(Elsevier, 2018-03)The alignment of IT strategy with business strategy has been among the top concerns of business leaders for several decades (Kappelman et al., 2014; Niederman et al., 1991). This interest from practitioners has stimulated ... -
The Influences on Female Participation and Progress in the Labor Force: Implications for Human Resource Management in the United Arab Emirates
(American University of Sharjah, 2013)This paper reports on the first qualitative research study of women’s life histories in an investigation of their participation and progress in the labor force of the United Arab Emirates. Data were collected through ... -
Information disclosure in dynamic research contests
(American University of Sharjah, 2019-09)We study the design of information disclosure in a dynamic multi-agent research contest, where each agent privately searches for innovations and submits his best to compete for a winner-takes-all prize. We find that although ...
