Measurement of Vigilance Using EEG Source Localization
(2017-11)
Vigilance, or sustained attention, is crucial for jobs where attentiveness for prolonged times is required. These jobs include air traffic control, luggage inspection, and surveillance jobs. Vigilance decrement can cause ...
Sequential batch contactors for removal of chromium (VI) from wastewater using sheep's wool
(2017-05)
The effluent streams of various industries contain heavy metals like chromium. The hexavalent form of it is highly toxic, which needs specific intensive treatment before disposal. Sheep’s wool, as a keratinous adsorbent, ...
ESDD Prediction of Outdoor Polymer Insulators
(2015-06)
Reliable power transmission is a main factor in designing transmission and distribution lines. Contaminated environments significantly reduce the performance of outdoor insulators in which the accumulation of contamination ...
Modeling and Control of Electrostatically Actuated RF-MEMS Switches
(2014-02)
This work presents a novel approach to modeling and control of an RF- MEMS switch. The model presented in this work is comprehensive and generic in nature such that it takes into account the effect of squeeze film damping, ...
Bingham Fluid Flow in the Entrance Region of a Pipe
(2019-05)
The isothermal laminar flow of a Bingham fluid in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been studied previously by many authors using different approaches. As current research stands, the momentum integral approach ...
Effects of mechano-electrical feedback on the onset of alternans: A computational study
(AIP, 2019-06)
Cardiac alternans is a heart rhythm instability that is associated with cardiac arrhythmias and may lead to sudden cardiac death. The onset of this instability, which is linked to period-doubling bifurcation and may be a ...
Exploring Academic Dishonesty in the Middle East: A Qualitative Analysis of Students' Perceptions
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Most previous studies of academic dishonesty have been conducted in North America and Europe, and have focused on the contextual, institutional, and individual factors that influence students' propensity to cheat. While ...

(American University of Sharjah, 2013-09-08)
Identifying the drivers of relationship quality, satisfaction and customer loyalty has been the subject of much marketing research for over twenty years. However, there are a number of gaps in the literature, especially ...
The Internet Dilemma: An Exploratory Study of Luxury Firms' Usage of Internet-Based Technologies
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Surprisingly, there exists a paucity of research examining the adoption of Internet-based technologies by luxury firms. This represents a major shortcoming in our understanding of how luxury firms maintain the image of ...
Brain Connectivity Analysis Under Semantic Vigilance and Enhanced Mental States
(MDPI, 2019)
In this paper, we present a method to quantify the coupling between brain regions under vigilance and enhanced mental states by utilizing partial directed coherence (PDC) and graph theory analysis (GTA). The vigilance state ...
