Detection of frame deletion for digital video forensics
(Elsevier, 2013-12)
The abundance of digital video forms a potential piece of evidence in courtrooms. Augmenting subjective assessment of digital video evidence by an automated objective assessment helps increase the accuracy of deciding ...
The dynamics of some discrete models with delay under the effect of constant yield harvesting
(Elsevier, 2013)
In this paper, we study the dynamics of population models of the form xn+1 = xnf(xn−1) under the effect of constant yield harvesting. Results concerning stability, boundedness, persistence and oscillations of solutions are ...
Mathematical modeling of microbubble cavitation at 70 kHz and the importance of the subharmonic in drug delivery from micelles
(Elsevier, 2013)
In order to gain insight into the experimental observation of ultrasound-induced release of drugs from micelles, we modeled the dynamic oscillations of a 10-μm-diameter bubble insonated at 70 kHz. The Parlitz modification ...
Remote Labs and Game-Based Learning for Process Control
(Chemical Engineering Education, 2013)
Social networking platforms and computer games represent a natural informal learning environment for the current generation of learners in higher education. This paper explores the use of game-based learning in the context ...
Investigating the acoustic release of doxorubicin from targeted micelles
(Elsevier, 2013)
The main problem associated with the administration of anti-cancer medication is that the drug is delivered throughout the body causing undesirable side effects. Therefore, it is important to synthesize drug carriers capable ...
Comparing microbubble cavitation at 500 kHz and 70 kHz related to micellar drug delivery using ultrasound
(Elsevier, 2013)
We have previously reported that ultrasonic drug release at 70 kHz was found to correlate with the presence of subharmonic emissions. No evidence of drug release or of the subharmonic emissions were detected in experiments ...
Who Gets the Lion's Share? Top Management Group Pay Disparities and Powerful CEOs.
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-06-05)
While the distribution of pay across the hierarchy of corporations has received considerable critical attention, the distribution of pay within top management groups has received comparatively little. This paper contributes ...
The Influences on Female Participation and Progress in the Labor Force: Implications for Human Resource Management in the United Arab Emirates
(American University of Sharjah, 2013)
This paper reports on the first qualitative research study of women’s life histories in an investigation of their participation and progress in the labor force of the United Arab Emirates. Data were collected through ...
The Logic of Fateful Choices Faced by the Leaders of Commissions of Inquiry
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-12-03)
Commission scholars have been skeptical about the reasons governments give for their appointment but have generally accepted that their relationship with government is kept armslength during their inquiry. An analytical ...
The Logic of Fateful Leadership Choices: A Decision Framework for Aspiring 'Lebowski Young Achievers'
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-12-09)
