A Survey on the Integration of Blockchain With IoT to Enhance Performance and Eliminate Challenges
(IEEE Access, 2021)
Internet of things IoT is playing a remarkable role in the advancement of many fields such as healthcare, smart grids, supply chain management, etc. It also eases people's daily lives and enhances their interaction with ...
Prediction of EV Charging Behavior Using Machine Learning
(IEEE Access, 2021)
As a key pillar of smart transportation in smart city applications, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular for their contribution in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key challenges, however, ...
Influence of Foundation Rigidity on the Structural Response of Mat Foundation
(Hindawi Limited, 2021)
A mat is a type of shallow foundation that is appropriate for structures supported on soil having relatively low bearing capacity or excessive settlement. Structural analysis of a mat foundation can be accomplished by ...
The Kumaraswamy Pareto IV Distribution
(Austrian Statistical Society, 2021)
We introduce a new model named the Kumaraswamy Pareto IV distribution which extends the Pareto and Pareto IV distributions. The density function is very flexible and can be left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shapes. ...
Classifying Maqams of Qur'anic Recitations Using Deep Learning
(IEEE Access, 2021)
The Holy Qur’an is among the most recited and memorized books in the world. For beautification of Qur’anic recitation, almost all reciters around the globe perform their recitations using a specific melody, known as maqam ...
Evaluation of refined cement-based matrix systems for extrusion of wood fiber cement
(Elsevier, 2021)
Different cementitious matrix formulations incorporating various chemical, polymeric and mineral additives were evaluated for use in extruded fiber cement products. These alternative formulations were designed to enhance ...
Lower Semicontinuity in L¹ of a Class of Functionals Defined on BV with Caratheodory Integrands
(Hindawi Limited, 2021)
We prove lower semicontinuity in 𝐿¹(Ω) for a class of functionals 𝒢 :𝐵𝑉(Ω) →ℝ of the form 𝒢(𝑢)=∫Ω𝑔(𝑥, 𝛻𝑢)𝑑𝑥 + ∫Ω𝜓(𝑥)𝑑|Dˢ𝑢| where 𝑔 :Ω⨉ℝᴺ→ℝ, Ω⊂ℝᴺ is open and bounded, 𝑔(.,𝑝) ∊ 𝐿¹(Ω) for each 𝑝 satisfies ...
Potential immunomodulatory role of sesamin in combating immune dysregulation associated with COVID-19
(Medknow Publications, 2021)
The ongoing outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused an unprecedented global health crisis. Development of a cure for this ...
Objectively quantified physical activity and sedentary behaviour in a young UAE population
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021)
Objectives There is a lack of public awareness of the importance of engaging in physical activity (PA) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Nearly 58% of the UAE adult population self-reports as being physically inactive ...
Assessing test suites of extended finite state machines against model and code based faults
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021)
Tests can be derived from extended finite state machine (EFSM) specifications considering the coverage of single-transfer faults, all transitions using a transition tour, all-uses, edge-pair, and prime path with side trip. ...
