Smart Parking in Big Malls in the UAE
It might be conceived that there is a shortage in the availability of parking lots due to the difficulties faced by visitors who try to locate a vacant parking spot. Furthermore, due to the shortage in energy supply and ... -
Smart Parking: Piezoelectric Application
(2016-11)Smart parking is an upgrade to the paid parking lot entrances in the American University of Sharjah. A piezoelectric energy harvester generates clean electricity, from the applied pressure of cars onto the pavement of the ... -
Smart Solar Roads
(2014-07-22)The UAE is ranked as the seventh biggest per person consumer of energy .The UAE plans to produce 50 Mega Watt of electricity from sustainable sources. Smart solar roads are made of solar panels and a rechargeable battery ... -
Smart Traffic System in Jumeirah
(2014-07-22)Jumeirah road became one of the most well-known roads in Dubai due to the tourist attraction and commercial use. However the road has become very congested with traffic because of its excessive use of traffic signals and ... -
Social Cohesion and Optimal Redistribution in Economies with Long-Run Growth
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)We suggest that as social cohesion improves, the macroeconomic gains from progressive redistribution decline. Social interactions facilitate diffusion of nonrival knowledge. The consequent bridging of the knowledge gaps ... -
A Social Constructionist Perspective on the Diffusion of Innovative Fiscal Responsibility Legislation
(2013-01)Compared to competitive, coercive and learning models, social constructionist theory is particularly well-suited to explaining the diffusion of policy norms across cross-country networks. This paper augments this approach ... -
Social Media Presence of Free-to-Air Satellite Channels in the Arab World
(Arab Advisors Group, 2014-07)This report provides an overview of the social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and YouTube, for a total of 40 FTA satellite TV channels that broadcast in the Arab World by end of June 2014. The 40 ... -
Socially Motivated Approach to Simulate Negotiation Process
(2014-05)Automated negotiation is treated as multi-disciplinary area of rigorous research consisting of Multi Agent Systems (MAS) such as optimization, decision support system, game theory and e-commerce. Thus, automated negotiations ... -
Socio-business responsibility in the Gulf Arab states: The case of the Pearl Initiative
(Emerald, 2014-12)Mr Badr Jafar, co-founder of the Pearl Initiative (PI), is the chief protagonist in this case study set in the Gulf Arab states. He launched this company at the United Nations in September 2010, and the launch was timely, ... -
Soil Characterization Utilizing GPR Technique
(2017-11)Engineering properties of soil, such as shear strength parameters, water content, degree of saturation, and permeability are essential for safe and economic design of any structure involving soil structure ... -
Soil remediation from waste lubricating oil
(Elsevier, 2018-02)Soil remediation was investigated from waste oil contamination. Contamination of different soil particle diameters was prepared with different dosage of waste oil contamination. Solvent extraction technique was employed ... -
Soil Stabilization against Internal Erosion Using Cement and Fiber-Cement Mixture
(2014-05)Internal erosion of soil is the main cause of failure in many engineering hydraulic structures especially embankment dams. Understanding the internal erosion behavior and stabilizing the soil against this phenomenon is a ... -
Solar Powered Building with Dynamic Shading System
(2014-01-19)The design and architecture of the International Royal Hotel (IRH) complies with the code of green building as the hotel does not depend solely on non-renewable energy sources. Moreover, the IRH's design is the most efficient ... -
Solar Updraft Tower In Al-Ain
(2015-02-01)In recent years, the UAE has taken significant steps to protect the environment, such as building shams solar tower in Abu-Dhabi. The main source of air pollution in the UAE is the oil and gas industry, followed by the ... -
Solar-Powered Smart Community
(2015-02-01)Population growth in Dubai has increased power requirements, causing a depletion in natural resources. Our solution is to build a Smart Community in Dubai that will overcome these issues. The model consists of Thermal Solar ... -
The solution of a recursive sequence arising from a combinatorial problem in botanical epidemiology
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)One of the central problems in botanical epidemiology is whether disease spreads within crops in a regular pattern or follows a random process. In this paper, we consider a row of n plants in which m are infected. We then ... -
Solution of Fractional Differential Equations: Transform and Iterative Methods Approach
(2019-12)Fractional calculus is a novel and highly active area of research in the literature as it has a wide spectrum of applications in the physical sciences and engineering. In this thesis, we study the numerical solution of ... -
Solution of Fractional Differential Equations: Variational Iteration Approach
(2019-12)This thesis discusses a newly introduced numerical scheme for fractional differential equations. The strategy is an extension of the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) and is suitable for boundary value problems (BVPs). ... -
