An Innovative Approach for a Better Tsunami Warning System
(2019-05)
Tsunamis are among the most destructive natural disasters, however most tsunamis can be detected before hitting the shore. Therefore, we dedicated our project to develop an innovative system with a better tsunami detection, ...
Numerical Analysis of Film Cooling Shield Formed by Confined Jet Discharging on a Flat Plate
(International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2019)
The effects of centrifugal force and thermal conductivity on the effectiveness of a film cooling shield are investigated in this study. A confined jet with 90 degree angle is used, to inject cooling fluid into hot steam, ...
Flexural Performance of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers (BFRP) Bars
(2019-05)
This research studies the flexural behavior of concrete beams that are reinforced longitudinally with the newly discovered Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers (BFRP) bars. The aim is to examine the suitability of using BFRP ...
Conserved-Mass Metastructures For Vibration Suppression
(2019-04)
Vibration suppression, cancellation or absorption is an expansive field of research, which has been the focus of numerous studies performed by scientists and engineers for decades. Metamaterials are a new class of semi-active ...
Graph of Linear Transformations over a Field
(2019-06)
This research is an attempt to introduce a connection between graph theory and linear transformations of finite dimensional vector spaces over a field F (in our case we will be considering R). Let Rᵐ, Rⁿ be finite vector ...
Emotion Recognition Based on Fusion of Local Cortical Activations and Dynamic Functional Networks Connectivity: An EEG Study
(IEEE Xplore Digital Library, 2019)
In this paper, we present a method to improve emotion recognition based on the fusion of local cortical activations and dynamic functional network patterns. We estimate the cortical activations using power spectral density ...
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 ...
Transnational Links in Rhino Poaching and the Black Market Price of Rhino Horns
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
The trends of rhino poaching in South Africa and India – major range states – have been remarkably similar over time. Organized criminal syndicates manage an illegal supply chain of rhino horns from poachers, middlemen, ...
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 ...
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 ...
