Stage-discharge relationship in two-stage channels
(2019-07)Predicting the stage-discharge relationship in a flood event is an important concern. Once the flow exceeds the bank level in a two-stage channel, there is a momentum transfer that occurs at the interface between the main ... -
State-of-All-the-Art and Prospective Hydrogel-Based Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2024-03-30)Over the past few decades, notable advancements have been made in the field of transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDSs), presenting a promising alternative to conventional oral drug administration. This comprehensive ... -
Static Video Summarization Using Video Coding Features with Frame-level Temporal Sub-Sampling and Deep Learning
(MDPI, 2023)There is an abundance of digital video content due to the cloud’s phenomenal growth and security footage, it is therefore essential to summarize these videos in data centers. This paper offers innovative approaches to the ... -
Statistical analysis of air-gap membrane desalination experimental data: Hypothesis testing
(Elsevier, 2015-04)Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is temperature gradient rather than conventional ones based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, and freezing point ... -
Statistical Modelling and Correlation of Membrane Distillation Data
(2014-07)Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is a temperature gradient rather than conventional gradients based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, or freezing ... -

Stochastic Geometry-Based Model for Dynamic Allocation of Metering Equipment in Spatio-Temporal Expanding Power Grids
(IEEE, 2019)With smart grids replacing conventional power grids and rapidly expanding in both space and time, ensuring an acceptable system observability becomes a challenge in spatio-temporal expanding power grids. In addition, system ... -
Stop-Go Monetary Policy
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)We propose and estimate several discrete choice models of monetary policy decision-making that feature time-varying inertia. The models permit us to account for three stylized facts characterizing monetary policy making ... -
Storage Solutions for Power Quality Problems in Cyprus Electricity Distribution Network
(2014-01)In this work, a prediction of the effects of introducing energy storage systems on the network stability of the distribution network of Cyprus and a comparison in terms of cost with a traditional solution is carried out. ... -
Strain rate effect on twip/trip high entropy alloy
(2021-07)High Entropy Alloys (HEA) present opportunities to develop new materials with outstanding mechanical properties. Through the careful selection of constituent elements along with optimized thermal processing for proper ... -
A Strategic Framework for a Smart Campus: American University of Sharjah Case Study
(2019-09)As the term smart campus attracts the professionals and academics from multiple disciplines, and the technology keeps intervening in every aspect of life; it becomes inevitable for the smart campus to take place and ... -
Strategic Human Resource Management of International Assignments
(Elsevier, 2007)Throughout this chapter, we have studied five topics related to international HRM. First, we have examined the four major approaches to staffing foreign operations: ethnocentric, polycentric, geocentric, and regiocentric. ... -
