Second-order reduction factors(RFs) are useful quantities to calculate when considering Jahn-Teller (JT) systems. In a very recent paper (Abou Ghantous et al, 2002), the Frank-Condon (FC) approximation was developed to ...
Background: Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) refer to prolonged seizures with minimal motor involvement. In clinical practice, these seizures are often underdiagnosed due to subtle manifestations such as transient ...
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a relatively new manufacturing process employed in the production of parts and components for numerous heavy machinery, including cars planes and spacecrafts. The analysis of welds produced ...
Skin cancer, Acne, Eczema, among others, are some of the most commonly occurring skin anomalies that impose debilitating strain on the health of affected individuals and impede their social and economic welfare. The world ...
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects more than 8.5% of the worldwide population. The glucometer, which is invasive, is the tandard tool for monitoring glucose levels. This approach is painful and uncomfortable. ...
Analyzing a looping water distribution network requires the solution of one of the nonlinear systems of equations: the flow equations that solve for the discharges in the links or the head equations that solve for the nodal ...
This thesis presents a visual odometry system for ground vehicles using a single downward-facing camera and two tilt sensors. Conventional visual odometry algorithms use the probabilistic and iterative RANSAC to remove ...
As the older adult population in Lebanon is expected to double to 20% in 2030 so is the risk of dementia which is characterized by a gradual and progressive cognitive decline and commonly affects older adults. Therefore, ...
The Beirut explosion of August 4, 2020, was one of the most catastrophic events in Lebanon's recent history, with a death toll of over 200, thousands of injuries, and billions of dollars in damages. The aftermath of the ...
Governance concerns emerged compellingly in the aftermath of corporate and non-c orporate scandals. Accordingly, the development of codes of best practices becam e the issue in the non-profit sector, despite its ...
In General Relativity the works of Hawking and Penrose have shown that sin- gular solutions are in-avoidable. The most famous of which are the Schwarzschild and Kerr black hole solutions and Friedman Cosmological solution. ...
We show a non-vanishing result for L-functions of cuspidal Hecke eigenforms of integer weight in the full modular group and of half integer weight in the plus space. In chapter 1, we review definitions of modular forms of ...
Background: Since October 2019, Lebanon has been grappling with a multifaceted
crisis characterized by political and economic instability, leading to a surge in poverty
due to rising inflation and a shift towards ...
Knowledge about NGOs in Lebanon is limited. To improve our understanding of NGOs that are based in Lebanon, this study addresses three questions. What are the purposes of the nongovernmental organizations that operate in ...
The Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures global brain electrical activity using electrodes placed on the scalp. EEG measurement continues to be an important tool for understanding brain dynamics since it is closely related ...
This report concentrates on the nonlinear response analysis of plane frames subjected to pseudo dynamic and earthquake type loading. The thesis is mainly concerned with the development of a digital computer program for ...
Auditory signal analysis is traditionally addressed using an ever growing set of tools derived from signal processing area. Early on, frequency decomposition into biologically-relevant bands, the Mel frequencies, took hold ...
