Fetal ECG Signal Enhancement
(2008-06)Fetal heart monitoring yields vital information about the fetus health and can support medical decision making in critical situations. A compound signal is obtained non-invasively by placing electrodes on the abdomen area ... -
Few-cycle laser driven reaction nanoscopy on aerosolized silica nanoparticles
(Springer Nature, 2019)Nanoparticles offer unique properties as photocatalysts with large surface areas. Under irradiation with light, the associated near-fields can induce, enhance, and control molecular adsorbate reactions on the nanoscale. ... -
Finding a Solution For Recycling Wastes
(2014-07-22)Over the past few years, there has been a remarkable growth in trash disposal all over the UAE, especially in Dubai, due to its huge demographic growth. Most of this trash is being disposed in large landfills in huge ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Machining Lightweight Syntactic Foams
(2021-04)Aluminium alloys reinforced with hollow alumina microsphere syntactic foams possess superior physical and mechanical properties such as improved stiffness, peak compressive strength and total specific energy absorption. ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Splayed Steel Girder Bridges
(2015-06)A splayed girder bridge is a bridge which consists of a deck slab supported on girders with linearly varying spacing. The simple formulas and approximate design procedures in the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications ... -
Finite Element Investigation of Pre-Damaged RC Columns Retrofitted with FRCM
(2021-06)Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the UAE and globally face adverse deterioration during their lifetime. A novel retrofitting system using poly-paraphenylene-benzobisoxazole (PBO) Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix ... -
Finite Element Modeling of Drilling AZ91 Magnesium Foam Reinforced with Hollow Alumina Microspheres
(2021-07)Novel AZ91 magnesium syntactic foams are a potential choice for temporary biomedical implants. In many cases, holes of various sizes need to be machined on the biomedical implants using the drilling process to facilitate ... -
Finite Element Modelling of FRCM-Confined RC Columns Exposed to Fire
(2023-06)Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have been widely used for strengthening and retrofitting applications. However, their efficacy is hindered by the poor resistance of epoxy resins to elevated temperature ... -
Finite Element-Based Parametric Analysis of Mat Foundations
(2016-04)Raft or mat foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab covering the entire contact area of the structure and supporting heavy loads from superstructure to a large area of soil. This type of foundation is employed in ... -
Fire Fighting Robots in Chemical Industries
(2015-02-01)Fires in chemical factories are toxic in nature and pose a serious threat to firefighters. A suitably armored firefighting robot that is designed to survive harsh conditions can save the lives of firefighters and help ... -
Fire Performance of FRCM Strengthened Columns: Experimental Investigation
(2023-11)The utilization of Externally Bonded (EB) fiber systems for the rehabilitation and retrofitting of existing and deteriorated RC structures has grown in recent decades, given their demonstrated promise and convenience. Fiber ... -
Firm Growth and Political Institutions
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-11-06)Using a large sample of 115,534 firm-year observations from 46 countries over the period 1992 to 2007, we investigate the impact of political institutions on firms' growth. We find that high levels of political constraint ... -
Firm Internationalization and Corporate Social Responsibility
(Springer, 2016-03)Using a large sample of 3,040 U.S. firms and 16,606 firm-year observations over the 1991–2010 period, we find strong evidence that firm internationalization is positively related to the firm’s corporate social responsibility ... -

Fiscal Discriminations in Three Wars
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-06-13)In 1790, a U.S. paper dollar was widely held in disrepute (something shoddy was not 'worth a Continental'). By 1879, a U.S. paper dollar had become 'as good as gold.' These outcomes emerged from how the U.S. federal ... -
Flex Behavior of Green SNFRC Circ Beams with Double-Layers of Spirals and Uniformly Distributed Reinf
(2021-12)Green Concrete has emerged as a promising sustainable alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC)-based concrete. Partial OPC replacement by Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBS) promotes enhanced sustainability ... -
Flexible Scheduling for Construction Projects
(2012-01)A successful project schedule is one of the prime keys to project success. The Critical Path Method (CPM) determines a rigid timeline of activities' execution ignoring resource related issues. Many techniques were developed ... -
The flexural behavior of bolting and bonding Aluminum Alloy plates to RC beams
(Elsevier, 2019)The aim of this experimental investigation is to study the effect of using externally bonded and bolted Aluminum Alloy (AA) plates on the strength, stiffness, ductility and failure modes of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. ... -
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced for Shear with Steel Welded Wire Fabric
(2021-07)Past studies have shown that welded wire fabric (WWF) can be used as an effective alternative to stirrups in resisting shear in reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Such a form of reinforcement reduces the time required to ... -
Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with FRP Bars Under Long Exposure to UAE Environment
(2021-03)Due to the large research pool of Fiber-reinforced Polymers (FRP) reinforcements, their utilization as main reinforcement in concrete structures has gained the trust of the engineering community. In fact, design codes such ...
