Security is an important issue in networks and distributed systems. In order to interact with an entity on a network, it is important to investigate the entity' s trustworthiness and reliability to ensure the correctness ...
RPL, routing protocol for low power and lossy network is considered as the de-facto routing protocol for the internet of things (IoT). IoT is characterized by diverse devices that interconnect with each other on a cooperative ...
Claims and disputes are inevitable in construction projects. Focusing on non-contractual mechanisms such as trust contributes to minimizing the occurrence of disputes. The existence of trust between project participants ...
In increasingly complex, dynamic and distributed environments, users are require d to take multiple decisions where knowledge about other entities is required, a nd trust establishment is necessary before any interaction, ...
Realizing a thermal counterpart for electronic devices has been recently proposed; a thermal analogue requires processing information by heat currents rather than by electric currents. Phononic heat currents are fundamentally ...
The growing need for the development of nanophotonic devices implies new challenges in describing and manipulating optical and thermal properties in sub- diffraction length scales. Low- loss Surface Phonon Polariton (SPhP) ...
One of the main factors that impacts performance of general purpose computer processors is misses to the data cache. Conventional techniques used in modern processors - building wide pipelines and large instruction buffers ...
The optoelectronic, semiconducting, and light amplifying properties of conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPEs) make them promising class of materials for applications in light emitting diodes, solar cells, biosensing and bioimaging. ...
Recently in our lab, some metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) were successfully synthesized at room temperature through the reaction-diffusion framework (RDF) in a hydrogel medium. ...
The superior activity and properties of zirconium UiO-66 frameworks including their intriguing structural tunability, high porosity, and outstanding chemical and thermal stability have rendered them as epitome of metal-organic ...
The Arab Spring was conceived in Tunisia on December 17, 2010, when a street vendor, Mohammed Bouazizi self-immolated. On January 14, 2011, the Arab Spring was born under the name of the Jasmine revolution that echoed ...
Arab women played a crucial part in the uprisings of the Arab world in 2011-2012. Women actively participated in protests, marches, blogging, tweeting, organization of transportations and shelter; some got engaged in ...
Despite the recent popularity of turf grass as a prominent landscape in recreational and commercial projects, there is no published research on turfgrass in Lebanon and no evaluation as of the quality, uses and management. ...
