Holistic Design: Optimizing Mechatronic Systems Using Multi Objective Optimization
(2015-05)This thesis aims to present an integrated approach to mechatronic systems design using heuristic optimization techniques. This integrated approach will consider the kinematics of the system, the dynamics, and the control ... -
A Holistic Intersection Rating System (HIRS)
(2018-11)Signalized urban intersections are key components of urban transportation networks. They are traditionally viewed and designed as primarily motorized traffic facilities thus their physical and operational designs are aimed ... -
A Holistic Intersection Rating System (HIRS)—A Novel Methodology to Measure the Holistic Operational Performance of Signalized Urban Intersections
(MDPI, 2021)Signalized urban intersections are key components of urban transportation networks. They are traditionally viewed and designed as primarily motorized traffic facilities, and thus their physical and operational designs have ... -
Honesty, ability, norm, and socioeconomic status: experimental evidence from Bangladesh
(American University of Sharjah, 2019)In a real effort task experiment, we study the (dis)honesty of undergraduate students in Bangladesh. Consistent with earlier studies, when they self-report their performance, a significant fraction of students cheats to ... -
How price inelastic is demand for gasoline in fuel-subsidizing economies?
(2015-07)In recent years, governments that have historically subsidized domestic fuel consumption face an ever-growing challenge in maintaining fuel subsidies and have embarked on subsidy reform. This paper estimates the price and ... -
How to Avoid Structural, Corrosion, and Deterioration Disasters in Water Dams
(2014-01-19)Water dams are systems with large destructive forces that can lead to a substantial amount of destruction. The poster describes the situation of the problem. In addition, it summarizes the major problems that cause dam ... -
HRM Reform in the Public Sector: Is it Enough?
(Edward Elgar, 2009)Our objective here is to describe and discuss changes in HRM practice as they have emerged in public organizations undertaking new management reforms. In the first section, we present a conceptual framework that will allow ... -
Human and Robot Interaction in High Rise Construction
(2016-11)All accidents that happened during roof, ladder, and scaffolding works accounted for 55% of all the construction industry accidents. Human behavior is a contributing factor in approximately 80% of the accidents in construction ... -
Human Errors in Structural Design and Construction in the United Arab Emirates
(2012-06)The construction sector in the United Arab Emirates has witnessed an unparalleled growth in the past decade. In spite of recent challenges due to global recession, this sector remains strong in the Gulf region. Experience ... -
Human Resource Management in the United Arab Emirates
(Edward Elgar, 2016)This chapter reviews the current state of the research literature on HRM in the UAE, in part because more work has been published on "HRM in the UAE" than on any other country in the GCC country or even the Middle East ... -
Hybrid Car Efficiency Improvement
(2014-01-19)Our project is about increasing the efficiency of hybrid cars. Hybrid cars operate using two systems, the Internal Combustion System (ICS) and the Electric System (ES) and since they depend more on the ICS, more polluting ... -
Hybrid DCT/Pixel Domain Architecture for Heterogeneous Video Transcoding
(Elsevier, 2003)In this paper the pixel domain heterogeneous video transcoder proposed by the authors is implemented in the DCT domain. Consequently, the motion compensation and its inverse and the image down-sampling functions of the ... -
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
(2014-01-19)The problems related to the generation of electricity to fuel vehicles are three-fold. Firstly, conventional vehicles are major contributors to pollution due to the combustion of petroleum which is leading to the depletion ... -
Hybrid Energy Management System For Electric Vehicles
(2021-12)Boosting the performance of the energy storage system (ESS) of electric vehicles (EV) is of great significance to achieve their pervasion and encourage their mass adoption, which will, in turn, curtail the emission of ... -
Hybrid Liposome/Metal–Organic Framework as a Promising Dual-Responsive Nanocarriers for Anticancer Drug Delivery
(Elsevier, 2022)In this work, liposome-coated iron (III) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Fe-BTC) metal–organic framework is examined as a promising pH/Ultrasound dual-responsive nanocarriers for doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The successful ... -
Hybrid Look-Up-Tables Based Behavioral Model for Dynamic Nonlinear Power Amplifiers
(IEEE, 2020)A new look-up table based behavioral model for dynamic nonlinear power amplifiers is proposed. This model labelled as hybrid look-up tables model is based on the combination of a memoryless look-up table sub-model and a ...
