Discrete Choice Models are used to estimate customers’ sensitivities for different attributes of a product. Applied to the airline industry, this method helps us capture the travelers’ choice behavior by estimating their ...
It is the objective of this thesis to partially fill this void and attempt to estimate poverty lines for the city of Beirut which are differentiated with regard to household size and household composition.
A methodology for river flow estimation from remotely sensed river thermal plume characteristics is introduced. Rule-based feature extraction tools were utilized to extract geometric characteristics of thermal plumes from ...
This thesis aims at analyzing the completion time of a product development (PD) process. A PD process is modeled as a stochastic project network, such as PERT networks, in addition to allowing probabilistic repetition of ...
Unsaturated flow through porous media has gained a lot of attention in recent decades in many fields of agriculture and hydrology. Examples are many, of which are deficit irrigation and contaminants transport. Several ...
Irrigation scheduling inside the greenhouse is based either on estimating evapotranspiration from outside and adjusting it to fit the inside conditions or applying a fixed amount of water. In the present study evaporation ...
Tobacco smoking imposes a heavy burden on society, killing nearly six million people per year according to the WHO statistical releases. While tobacco consumption has been decreasing in industrialized countries, it is ...
Honey is commonly consumed in its unprocessed state as a food item or used as an additive for food and beverage thus providing significant nutritional properties. Both its large scale worldwide production and its pivotal ...
Explicit equations for the estimation of the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity parameters were developed for various forms of the hydraulic conductivity function, which include the log-linear form, and the Brooks and Corey ...
In this study, groundwater residence times in the Jeita spring aquifer (Lebanon) were estimated using several environmental tracers such as Tritium (3H), Tritium-Helium (3H- 3He) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and Sulfur ...
The concept of functional food has always been implemented in traditional remedies against various chronic diseases. Sea cucumbers are considered as one of the most important functional foods for their effectiveness against ...
This thesis focuses on the valuable thematic intensity of J.M. Coetzee's fiction and its fulfillment of a moral obligation more than on its stylistic aspects. The analysis shows how Coetzee weaves the following interrelated ...
