Modeling and Control of Electrostatically Actuated RF-MEMS Switches
(2014-02)
This work presents a novel approach to modeling and control of an RF- MEMS switch. The model presented in this work is comprehensive and generic in nature such that it takes into account the effect of squeeze film damping, ...
Bingham Fluid Flow in the Entrance Region of a Pipe
(2019-05)
The isothermal laminar flow of a Bingham fluid in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been studied previously by many authors using different approaches. As current research stands, the momentum integral approach ...
Optimal Operation of Virtual Charging Systems for Plug-In Electric Vehicles
(IEEE, 2022-01)
This paper proposes a novel concept, denoted as Virtual Charging System (VCS), for electric vehicles’ (EVs). In a conventional charging system (CCS) with a competitive environment, the competition between charging stations ...
Public sector HRM reform: a multi-nation perspective
(International Human Resource Management Conference, 2009)
The objective of this research is to describe and discuss trends in HRM practice as they have emerged in public sector organizations undertaking new management reforms over the last two decades. To do this, we reviewed ...
Towards a Performative Understanding of Deservingness: Merit, Gender and the BBC Pay Dispute
(Wiley Online Library, 2020)
Drawing largely on a high-profile case of unequal pay at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an illustrative example, this conceptual paper considers differences and interrelationships between merit and deservingness, ...
Effects of mechano-electrical feedback on the onset of alternans: A computational study
(AIP, 2019-06)
Cardiac alternans is a heart rhythm instability that is associated with cardiac arrhythmias and may lead to sudden cardiac death. The onset of this instability, which is linked to period-doubling bifurcation and may be a ...
Exploring Academic Dishonesty in the Middle East: A Qualitative Analysis of Students' Perceptions
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
Most previous studies of academic dishonesty have been conducted in North America and Europe, and have focused on the contextual, institutional, and individual factors that influence students' propensity to cheat. While ...
A projection scheme for phase change problems with convection
(Elseiver, 2022-01)
Numerical modeling of phase change problems with convection is known to be computationally expensive. The main challenge comes from the coupling between Navier–Stokes and heat energy equations. In this paper, we develop a ...
Drivers of Customer Loyalty in B2B Services: A Firm-level Analysis Over Time
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-09-08)
Identifying the drivers of relationship quality, satisfaction and customer loyalty has been the subject of much marketing research for over twenty years. However, there are a number of gaps in the literature, especially ...
