Human Resource Management in the United Arab Emirates
(Edward Elgar, 2016)
This chapter reviews the current state of the research literature on HRM in the UAE, in part because more work has been published on "HRM in the UAE" than on any other country in the GCC country or even the Middle East ...
Emulsification Characteristics Using a Dynamic Woven Metal Microscreen Membrane
(MDPI, 2016)
An oscillatory emulsification system for the production of oil in water emulsions using a commercially available low-cost woven metal microscreen (WMMS) is investigated. The system allows for independent control of both ...
Arab Culture in Translation: From Exoticism to Terrorism
(2016-05)
The 9/11 attacks placed the Arab and Islamic World at the center of a global attention characterized by the negativity of an old inherited conception. While portraying Arabs and Muslims again within a clash of civilizations ...
Optimization of Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) Recovery processes
(2016-04)
Natural gas liquid (NGL) is mainly composed of ethane. The demand for ethane is increasing continuously as it is used in the manufacturing of ethylene. A review of the major turboexpansion processes is provided in addition ...
Classification of Cognitive Workload Levels under Vague Visual Stimulation
(2016-05)
In most applications where humans are involved, it is important to augment the interaction between users and the components of these applications. One significant element is the cognitive state of ...

Strengthening of High Strength Reinforced Concrete Slabs with CFRP Laminates
(2016-05)
During the last few decades, engineers and researchers used high-strength concrete to cast reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Accordingly, the dead weight of buildings and structures were reduced significantly, which ...
A mobile Based Platform for Monitoring Respiratory Diseases
(2016-09)
Chronic respiratory diseases are diseases of the airways and other structures of the lung, usually resulting in difficulty in breathing and other symptoms. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Asthma are ...
Neural Networks as a Convex Problem
(2016-09)
We reformulated the problem of training the neural networks model into a convex optimization problem by performing a local quadratic expansion of the cost function and adding the necessary constraints. We designed a new ...
