A Body of Dissatisfaction: A Study of the Effects of Media Imperialism in Kuwait
(Jan 2014)Media has an enduring reputation of affecting perception. Perpetuating unrealistic body standards is just one way mediated messages influence negatively an audience. In the last 25 years, Kuwait has seen an invasion of ... -
A Case Study of Bangladesh and Kuwait in "Mapping Emerging Digital Spaces in Contemporary Society": Properties of Technology
(Case Study Contribution: Bridging the Digital Divide in Developing Countries:, 2011) -
A Cherry-Tomato Harvesting Robot
(The 18th International Conference on Advanced Robotics, ICAR, 2017)The harvesting robot is a robot that is created for harvesting cherry tomatoes in households and greenhouses. For households, the project aims to protect the privacy of people who have their own gardens at home, and do not ... -
A Cohesive FPGA Design for an Optimized Global Positioning System,
(2011-07-25)System-optimized circuits are a major concern in the design process. System upgradeability leads to re-engineering in most of the designs; even minor changes to the system would require a big compensation. However, the ... -
A Cooperative Co-evolutionary LSHADE Algorithm for Large-Scale Global Optimization
(IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, 2017)In this paper, we propose the application of a Cooperative Co-evolutionary LSHADE (CCLSHADE) algorithm for Large-Scale Global Optimization (LSGO). We illustrate that by tuning two simple parameters of the CC framework, one ... -
A Cryptography Algorithm for Transmitting Multimedia Data Using Quadruple-State CSK
(2015-04-21)A new technique for secure communication is introduced that aims at robustifying classical Chaotic Shift Keying (CSK) methods. The secret data are hidden within the chaotic transmitter states that can change among four ... -
A Death that Has Nothing to Do with Me

A Framework for Measuring the Sustainability of Academic Programs in the Technical Fields: Initial Validity Study Findings
(2015-06-14)A Framework for Measuring the Sustainability of Academic Programs in the Technical Fields: Initial Validity Study FindingsThe term sustainability aims to describe the capacity of meeting the needs of the present ... -
A Framework for the Design of Cost-Effective Wireless Body Area Networks with Efficient Data Collection
(The 6th International Conference on Digital Information, Networking, and Wireless Communications (DINWC18), Beirut, Lebanon, April 25-2)As the demand for fast and efficient solutions in the field of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) increases rapidly, specifically in the field of electronic health (e-health), different approaches have been realized to ... -
A Generic Framework for Modeling and Simulation of Cloud Computing Services
(2013)Cloud Computing is a paradigm in which tasks are assigned to a combination of computing resources, software and services accessed over a network following the pay-as–you-go financial model. It has been also described as ... -
A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland: Another Look

A Macro-Ergonomics Perspective on Educational Planning and Design
(2015)The interdisciplinary nature of ergonomics makes it markedly applicable to various fields that involve human performance. Education is one field where ergonomics can make a significant contribution. Yet, educational ... -
A Maximum Mutuality Model for Continuous Improvement in Engineering Departments
(IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, 2018-04-17)In higher education, academic departments are always challenged by the need to succeed in operation while maintaining quality practices and outputs. It is common that departments need to adhere to multiple accreditation ... -
A Method for Finding Fuzzy Subgroups of Sn
(Dec 2011)We present a practical method for finding fuzzy subgroups of symmetric groups S n for small n’s. Other methods in the literature seem quite technical, with a lot of theory and computations involved. Our method, although ... -
A new matrix method for solving two-dimensional time-dependent diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions
(2016)This paper is devoted to develop a new matrix scheme for solving two-dimensional time-dependent diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We first transform these equations into equivalent integro partial ... -
A Note on Nilpotent Elements in Quaternion Rings over Zp
(2012)In this paper, we discuss nilpotent elements in the finite ring H/Zp. We provide examples and we establish conditions for nilpotency in H/ Zp. We also comment on the number of nilpotent elements. -
A Novel Image-based Model for Data Fusion in Intelligent Surveillance Systems.
(Saarbrucken, Germany, Scholar's Press., 2017)Data collected by multi-modality sensors to detect and characterize behavior of entities and events over a given situation. In order to transform the multi-modality sensors data into useful information leading to actionable ... -
A Novel QoS-Based Framework for Cloud Computing Service Provider Selection
(2014)Cloud Computing is a promising computing paradigm that provides flexible, Internet-accessible resources allocation on demand on a pay-as-you-go basis. With the growth and expansion of Cloud services and participation of ...
