Flexural Performance of Reinforced Concrete Beams Externally Strengthened with Carbon and Basalt FRP Sheets
(2015-05)
Different strengthening systems have been widely used for many years to retrofit and repair deficient structural members. Reinforced concrete (RC) slabs and beams are commonly strengthened in flexure by externally bonding ...
Can High-Order Convergence of European Option Prices be Achieved with Common CRR-Type Binomial Trees?
(Springer, 2015)
Considering European call options, we prove that CRR-type binomial trees systematically underprice the value of these options, when the spot price is not near the money. However, we show that, with a volatility premium to ...
Glass Selection for High-Rise Buildings in the United Arab Emirates Considering Orientation and Window-to-Wall Ratio
(Elsevier, 2015)
This paper is the continuation of a previous paper published by the authors. Both papers are for a study that considers the relationship among the glass thermal characteristics, its cost, and the price of electricity. This ...
Comparison of Energy Efficiency Strategies for Mosques in the United Arab Emirates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)
As public buildings that are typically financed by charities, mosques are commonly designed, built, and operated using very limited resources. Hence, failure to design energy efficient mosques either affects occupants' ...
Dynamics of Chemotherapeutic Drug Release from Liposomes Using Low-Frequency Ultrasound
(2015-01)
This thesis focuses on the study of liposomes; nanoparticles that can act as anticancer drug carriers, in combination with ultrasound applied as a drug trigger, with the objective of reducing the side effects caused by ...

Brain Source Localization in the Presence of Leadfield Perturbations
(2015-05)
Brain source localization enables us to localize different areas of the brain that are activated during any mental activity. This thesis makes use of Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings which is an important noninvasive ...
Additive Cyclic Codes Over Rings
(2015-02)
This Master's thesis introduces a reader with an average knowledge of mathematics to coding theory. A background in algebra is included with the required details needed in coding theory. The thesis guides the reader from ...
Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles
(American Scientific Publishers, 2015)
To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This ...
