Analysis of Water Evaporation and Drift Losses during Irrigation in Semi-arid Areas of Sharjah (UAE) and Riyadh (KSA)
(Springer, 2012-06)Water evaporation and wind drift losses mainly depend on air relative humidity, air and water temperature, drop size, and wind speed. Evaporation and drift loss during water application by means of sprinkle irrigation was ... -
Analysis of Work-Related Health and Safety Accidents in the Emirate of Sharjah
(2021-04)The United Arab Emirates has been growing at a rapid pace over the last few decades. This growth has led to development and prosperity across multiple sectors within the country. Along with growth, the risk of work-related ... -
Analytical study and parameter-sensitivity analysis of catalytic current at a rotating disk electrode
(IOP Publishing, 2020)A convective-diffusion equation with semi-infinite boundary conditions for rotating disk electrodes under the hydrodynamic conditions is discussed and analytically solved for electrochemical catalytic reactions. The ... -
Analyzing hydrodynamic changes in the Dubai Creek: a pre- and post-extension study
(2023-11)This thesis presents a comparative study that examines the effects of the Dubai Creek extension on its hydrodynamics and water flushing dynamics. Dubai Creek (Khor Dubai) is a 24km artificial seawater stream located in the ... -
Analyzing Sensitivity Measures Using Moment-Matching Technique
(Elsevier, 2017-03)Sensitivity indices are used to rank the importance of input design variables or components by estimating the degree of uncertainty of output variable influenced by the uncertainty generated from input variables or components. ... -
And the Mountains Echoed: Translation and Commentary
(2014-07)Many world-famous authors owe a significant portion of their fame to the unsung heroes of literary translation. This thesis explores issues related to literary translation by translating a literary text and providing a ... -
Android mobile app for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation using leap motion controller
(IEEE, 2017)This paper introduces an android mobile App for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation. The system is designed to operate on isolated sign language words. The mobile App has four main components; sign language ... -
ANN Based Mechanistic Force Model for Face
(2011-06)Due to increased global competition and increased calls for environmentally benign machining processes, there has been more focus and interest in making processes more lean and agile to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions ... -
Anomaly Detection Based Framework for Profile Monitoring
(2023-05)Due to significant developments in technology, manufacturing processes are being equipped with sensors that provide continuous monitoring of the input and output process parameters. Signals observed through such sensors ... -
An ANP Approach for Selecting a Sustainable Learning Technology Intervention for Development
(2013-06)Governments in developing countries and their donors waste a significant amount of resources on non-sustainable initiatives in the name of development. Educational expenditure is no exception. For example, vast sums are ... -
Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal Activity of Xanthones Obtained via Semi-Synthetic Modification of α-Mangostin from Garcinia mangostana
(MDPI, 2017)The microbial contamination in food packaging has been a major concern that has paved the way to search for novel, natural anti-microbial agents, such as modified α-mangostin. In the present study, twelve synthetic analogs ... -
Anti-bacterial self-assembled nanotubes of cyclic d, l-alpha-peptides
(AIP Publishing, 2007)Cyclic D, L‐α‐peptides can be designed to spontaneously partition into lipid and cell membranes where they self‐assemble into membrane‐permeating nanotubes and result in disruption of membrane potentials leading to rapid ... -
Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2017)Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body and is considered as one of the major causes of death globally. There are several cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents used to treat cancer including methotrexate, ... -
Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Ultrasound.
(2016-05)Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Although billions of dollars have been spent on cancer research to develop its treatments, cancer still remains a major illness for mankind, partly due to the ... -
