Zirconium Phosphate/Ionic Liquid Proton Conductors for High Temperature Fuel Cell Applications
(2017-11)
High temperature operation (> 120 °C) is preferred in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. It enhances the electrode kinetics, improves the catalyst tolerance for impurities and allows the use of lower cost fuels ...
Drivers and challenges for implementing ISO 14001 environmental management systems in an emerging Gulf Arab country
(Springer, 2017-11-13)
Worldwide, ISO 14001 certification for organizations has become the norm, but the Arab world accounts for an insignificant portion of all the certified organizations. There is a dearth of research on environmental management ...
Analyzing Sensitivity Measures Using Moment-Matching Technique
(Elsevier, 2017-03)
Sensitivity indices are used to rank the importance of input design variables or components by estimating the degree of uncertainty of output variable influenced by the uncertainty generated from input variables or components. ...
Adaptive Video Streaming Over Cognitive Radio Networks
(2017-01)
Several challenges face reliable video streaming over wireless networks due to the stringent requirements of high data rate, low error rate, and limited end-to-end delay. Cognitive radio (CR) networks offer a great advantage ...
Cortical EEG Source Localization of Focal Epilepsy
(2017-11)
Brain source localization allows us to localize different brain regions that are activated during neural activity. Several imaging modalities can be used for recording neural activity and are essential in clinical applications. ...
Solving Fourth Order Differential Non-Linear Equations, Existence and Uniqueness
(2017-05)
The aim of this thesis is to present a novel numerical approach for the solution of a class of non-linear fourth-order boundary value problems. The method is based on embedding Green's function into some fixed point iteration ...
Dynamic Spectrum Scheduling and Management in Centralized Cognitive Radio Networks
(2017-11)
As the demand for wireless radio spectrum increases, spectrum regulatory authorities expect to face a spectrum scarcity problem.As the demand for wireless radio spectrum increases, spectrum regulatory authorities expect ...
Parallel Implementations for Eliminating Finite State Machine Mutants
(2017-05)
In this thesis, the mutants’ elimination problem considered in finite state machine (FSM) based mutation testing, fault diagnosis, and in the assessment of the effectiveness of test suites is targeted. Given a test suite ...
Japanese Millennials and Intersex Awareness
(Springer, 2017)
This paper investigates the awareness, attitudes, and opinions of Japanese millennials about intersex people. This research attempts to fill a gap in extant literature concerning the intersex in Asia via an exploratory ...
