Music Aptitude and Phonemic Processing
(2022-11)Music aptitude and second language (L2) phonemic processing are said to be connected via the processing of sounds, which also known as acoustic processing. Previous literature on this topic discusses how vowels are associated ... -
Muslim Women's Evolving Leadership Roles: A Case Study of Women Leaders in an Immigrant Muslim Community in Post-9/11 America
(Sage, 2017)Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork in a multi-ethnic immigrant Muslim congregation in a Midwestern city in the United States, this paper scrutinizes the intricate process through which women uses traditional ... -
Mxene-Based Implantable and Flexible Electrodes for Neuromuscular Monitoring
(2023-06)Biocompatible and long lasting bioelectrodes have advanced neural sensing and muscle stimulation research in recent years. Previously, bioelectrodes constructed from metals suffered from mechanical and immunological ... -
n-Hexadecane Fuel for a Phosphoric Acid Direct Hydrocarbon Fuel Cell
(Hindawi, 2015-01)The objective of this work was to examine fuel cells as a possible alternative to the diesel fuel engines currently used in railway locomotives, thereby decreasing air emissions from the railway transportation sector. We ... -
The n-zero-divisor graph of a commutative semigroup
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-04-16)Let S be a (multiplicative) commutative semigroup with 0, Z(S) the set of zero-divisors of S, and n a positive integer. The zero-divisor graph of S is the (simple) graph Γ(S) with vertices Z(S) ∗ = Z(S) \ {0}, and distinct ... -
Nanoparticle-based materials in anticancer drug delivery: Current and future prospects
(Elsevier, 2023)The past decade has witnessed a breakthrough in novel strategies to treat cancer. One of the most common cancer treatment modalities is chemotherapy which involves administering anti-cancer drugs to the body. However, these ... -
Nanosensors in the Construction Industry
(2015-02-01)Nanosensors aid in the detection of cracks and defects in concrete, the detection of moisture and temperature variations of structures, and the reduction of physical labor. -
Nanotechnology for Cancer Treatment
(2015-02-01)Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells segregate without control and are able to attack other normal tissues. -
A Navigation and Control System for a Robot in Indoor/Outdoor Environments
(2016-05)This thesis presents an approach to solving the global navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots in indoor and outdoor environments. The presented solutions are based on probabilistic approaches. In outdoor environment, ... -
A Navigation System for Indoor/Outdoor Environments with an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)
(2015-05)This thesis presents an approach for solving the global navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots. The presented solution for outdoor navigation uses Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the robot location based on ... -
Near-Field FMCW Radar for Mapping of Multilayer Structures
(2010-05)Near-field microwave non-destructive evaluation and inspection (NDE&I) of structures and materials is widely used in many applications. Single frequency measurements were found to be effective in detecting defects and ... -
The Need for Domestication: An Annotated Translation of a Personal Development Text from English to Arabic
(2005-06)This work discusses problems related to the need to domesticate encountered during the translation of the prologue, introduction, and part of Chapter I of a book titled The Different Drums by American psychiatrist and ... -
Nested FOPI and PI Controller Comparison and Battery Energy Management for EV Traction System
(2023-11)This work investigates first the use of nested Fractional Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) and conventional integer order Proportional Integral (PI) controllers and examines the effect of having both controllers in inner ... -
Neural network based predistortion of radio frequency power amplifiers
(2021-04)Over the last few decades, researchers have been able to successfully use neural networks for behavioral modeling and predistortion of power amplifiers. When used as predistorters, neural networks offer favorable results ... -
Neural Networks as a Convex Problem
(2016-09)We reformulated the problem of training the neural networks model into a convex optimization problem by performing a local quadratic expansion of the cost function and adding the necessary constraints. We designed a new ... -
Neuro-Linguistic Programming in the ESL Classroom in the UAE
(2023-11)Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a practical approach to language learning and teaching that focuses on understanding the thought and behavior patterns underlying communication and skill acquisition (Day, 2008). Despite ... -
Neuro-Wavelet Based Islanding Detection Technique
(2010-05)Integrating distributed generator into the existing distribution network is predicted to play an important role in the near future. Distributed generators, specifically renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic, ... -
A new characterization of periodic oscillations in periodic difference equations
(Elsevier, 2011-11)In this paper, we characterize periodic solutions of p-periodic difference equations. We classify the periods into multiples of p and nonmultiples of p. We show that the elements of the set of multiples of p follow the ... -
A New Data-Based Dust Estimation Unit for PV Panels
(MDPI, 2020)Solar photovoltaic (PV) is playing a major role in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) smart grid infrastructure. However, one of the challenges facing PV-based energy systems is the dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust ...
