Joint Transmitter / Receiver Optimization for Cognitive Radio Applications
(2012-05)The increasing demand for high data rate services is a primary motivation for the development of next generation mobile radio networks. As such, efficient utilization of the available radio spectrum is an important objective ... -
L2 Teachers' Perception Towards the Use of Computers in L2 Language Instruction
(2008-05)The way people communicate with others, conduct research, and gather information has changed due to the dramatic changes in computer technology. Computers have become prevalent everywhere and their presence in schools has ... -
Language and Culture in Business Translation from English into Arabic
(2008-06)Today, a new communication era is emerging in the fast paced world of business and economy. A case in point is our region (the Gulf and particularly Dubai) where the economy is globally expanding and with this, demand is ... -
Language and Ideology: A Discourse and Translation Perspective
(2014-06)This study attempts to analyze the way Arabic Media reconstructs news. In spite of the fact that the written press is supposed to be one of the most reliable sources for information, its output has often been controversial, ... -
Language Anxiety and The Classroom Elements That Provoke It
(2022-05)Language anxiety is prevalent in second\foreign language classrooms. This study investigates the language skills that provoke students’ anxiety. It also explores which of the three types of classroom configurations (pair ... -
The Language of Counter-Arguments and Support Arguments in Argumentative Student Writing
(2021-05)This study analyzes the linguistic features of counter-arguments and support arguments using two computational linguistic tools: Coh-Metrix and Gramulator. The research question investigates whether counter-argument ... -
Laplace Adomian Solutions to Fractional Differential Equations that Arise in Natural Science and Engineering Applications
(2022-06)In this thesis, we investigate the numerical solution of fractional differential equations subject to initial and boundary conditions. For the solution of such equations, we use two iterative approaches. First, we apply ... -
Lateral Confinement of RC Columns by Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands
(2016-12)The most common type of lateral reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) columns is rectilinear steel ties. Ties provide confinement to the concrete core increasing its compressive strength and ductility. Past studies ... -
Lateral Earth Pressure on Non-Yielding Walls Supporting Over-Consolidated Sand
(2013-07)The most important problem associated with retaining wall structures is the additional compaction-induced lateral earth pressure. Currently, none of the available design methods used to calculate the lateral earth force ... -
Learning Based Spectrum Sensing in OFDM Cognitive Radios
(2012-05)Cognitive Radio (CR) is an innovative technology introduced to efficiently utilize the spectrum. It allows secondary users to access the licensed portion of the spectrum when it is not occupied by the primary licensed user. ... -
Learning-Based Automatic Modulation Classification
(2015-05)Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) is a new technology implemented into communication receivers to automatically determine the modulation type of a received signal. One of the main applications of AMC is in adaptive ... -
Learning-Based Space-Time Adaptive Processing
(2013-06)The probability of target detection in airborne-radar missions depends on the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. In order to maximize the probability of detection, it is necessary to maximize the target ... -
Learning-Based Spectrum Sensing and Access for Cognitive Radio Systems
(2015-06)Spectrum management is one of the most important elements of the overall design of cognitive radio systems. Primary users (PUs), or license holders, should not be affected by the opportunistic use of the spectrum by the ... -
Level of Proficiency in Arabic and English, and Identity of Emirati Students in UAE Public Schools
(2012-05)Recently, a new dimension of learning a second language has gained interest in the literature. The identity of learners has made its way as a concept that has become central in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingual ... -
Lexical Cohesive Devices in Arab Students' Academic Writing: Implications for Teaching Vocabulary
(2006-05)This study investigated the use of English lexical cohesive devices by 40 undergraduate Arab students enrolled in advanced academic writing classes at the American University of Sharjah. The data were quantitatively analyzed ... -
Light-Responsive Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) For Doxorubicin Controlled Release
(2023-04)The life cycle of human cells involves growth, divisions, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). However, DNA damage can cause some cells to proliferate uncontrollably, leading to cancer. While chemotherapy is an effective ... -
Liposomal drug release using ultrasound and modeling release dynamics for model predictive controller design
(2015-06)Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients such as fatigue, weight loss, pain, hair fall and nausea. Those side effects are due to the fact that most of the ... -
Lipsome-coated metal organic frameworks as a new drug nanocarrier
(2019-12)Cancer has emerged to become one of the predominant diseases ever known to humanity, with chemotherapeutic agents as leading methods for treating it. However, this blind-sighted treatment method that targets all cells; ... -
