Polarimetric SAR Image Filtering by Infinite Number of Looks Prediction Technique
(IEEE, 2021)Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) images is indispensable before the extraction of the useful information. The minimum mean square error estimate of the filtered pixels ... -
Polarimetric SAR Speckle Reduction by Hybrid Iterative Filtering
(IEEE, 2020)Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar polarimetry (PolSAR) is essential for the extraction of significant information. In this study, the authors introduced a hybrid iterative filtering scheme. The proposed iterative ... -
Political connections and the cost of equity capital
(Elsevier, 2012-01)Motivated by recent research on the costs and benefits of political connection, we examine the cost of equity capital of politically connected firms. Using propensity score matching models, we find that politically connected ... -
The political determinants of the cost of equity: Evidence from Privatization
(Wiley, 2012-01)In this paper, we investigate the political determinants of the cost of equity using a unique data set of 236 firms privatized between 1987 and 2006 in 38 countries. We find robust evidence that the cost of equity is ... -
Political Discourse Analysis: An English/Arabic Translation Perspective
(2014-05)Political events throughout history are linked to the development of political discourse which plays an essential role in shaping world political opinion. Tackling these issues linguistically has been largely successful ... -
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), green alternatives to petroleum-based plastics: a review
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)In spite of the fact that petroleum-based plastics are convenient in terms of fulfilling the performance requirements of many applications, they contribute significantly to a number of ecological and environmental problems. ... -
Polyaniline Based Composite Membranes for PEM Fuel Cells: Experiments and Factorial Design

Polyaniline-based flexible implantable electrodes for neural sensing/stimulation applications
(2021-03)Implantable bioelectrodes have the potential to advance neural sensing and muscle stimulation, mainly in patients with peripheral nerve injuries. The current emerging prostheses rely on the use of conductive and capacitive ... -
Portable Electromagnetic Surface Profiling System
(2016-06)Due to its potential accuracy and speed, the use of profiling and detection sensing systems has been gaining rapid popularity in the industry. Whether they are implemented in coordinate measurement machines or encoded in ... -
Portable Flood Relief Unit: Using Nanoiltraion and Hydroelectricity Generaion
(2016-11)Bangladesh is a flooding hotspot as 80% of Bangladesh is considered to be floodplain. It also has an extensive sea coastline, putting the nation at a high risk of experiencing periodic widespread damage. On average, in ... -
Possible Physical Mechanisms of tRNA Pre-Selection in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)In a previous publication, we used kinetic models to simulate the physical movement ofthe transfer RNA (tRNA) in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli and concluded that tRNA molecules are not able to approach the ribosome by ... -
Potential for improving vehicle fuel efficiency and reducing the environmental pollution via fuel ionization
(2012-07)In order to reduce the level of atmospheric pollution caused by vehicle engine emissions, application of a novel technique based on fuel magnetization has been tested in this study aiming at improving fuel efficiency and ... -
