Employee sexual harassment policies and Kuwait transnational higher education by Fusilier, Marcelline

“…Policies were collected from Kuwait and their foreign partner institutions’ websites followed up by e-mailed and telephoned requests. The policies were coded for characteristics such as procedures for investigation of sexual harassment complaints, training for sexual harassment prevention, sanctions, etc. …”

Power system stability enhancement via coordinated design of a PSS and an SVC-based controller by Abido, M.A.

“…The coordinated design problem of robust excitation and SVC-based controllers over a wide range of loading conditions and system configurations is formulated as an optimization problem with an eigenvalue-based objective function. The real-coded genetic algorithm (RCGA) is employed to search for optimal controller parameters. …”

A high-level aspect-oriented based language for software security hardening by Mourad, Azzam

“…SHL allows the description and specification of security hardening plans and patterns that are used to harden systematically security into the code. It is a minimalist language built on top of the current aspect-oriented technologies that are based on advice-poincut model and can also be used in conjunction with them. …”

Encryption technique based on chaotic neural network space shift and color‑theory‑induced distortion by Abu Zitar, Raed

“…This mix offers a novel computation model with effective operations that (1) highly confuse plaintext and (2) generate key-based enormously complicated codes to hide the resulting ciphertext. Experiments with the prototype implementation showed that the proposed technique is effective (passed rigorous NIST/ENT security tests) and fast.…”

Interdependent feedback regulation of breathing by the carotid bodies and the retrotrapezoid nucleus by Guyenet, Patrice G.

“…RTN neurons are glutamatergic and innervate principally the respiratory pattern generator; they regulate multiple aspects of breathing, including active expiration, and maintain breathing automaticity during non-REM sleep. RTN neurons encode arterial PCO2 /pH via cell-autonomous and paracrine mechanisms, and via input from other CO2-responsive neurons. …”

Unsupervised knowledge representation of panoramic dental X-ray images using SVG image-and-object clustering by Salameh, Khouloud

“…Given that the meaning of an image is rarely self-evident using traditional keyword and/or content-based descriptions, the general goal of this study is to convert, with minimal human intervention, a stream of web vector graphics into a searchable knowledge graph structure that encodes semantically relevant image contents. To do so, we introduce an original framework titled SSG which automatically converts a stream of SVG images and objects into a semantic graph. …”

Nanoparticle enrichment mass-spectrometry proteomics identifies protein-altering variants for precise pQTL mapping by Karsten Suhre (67967)

“…We identify 184 protein-altering variants in 137 genes that are significantly associated with their corresponding variant peptides, confirming target specificity of co-associated affinity binders, identifying putatively causal cis-encoded proteins and providing experimental evidence for their presence in blood, including proteins that may be inaccessible to affinity-based proteomics.…”

The effect of protein mutations on drug binding suggests ensuing personalised drug selection by Shunzhou Wan (1361247)

“…The effect of these mutations on drug treatment in the protein target encoded by ESR1, namely the estrogen receptor, was achieved via rapid and accurate protein–ligand binding affinity interaction studies which were performed for the selected drugs and the natural ligand estrogen. …”

Analysis of power system stability enhancement via excitation and FACTS-based stabilizers by Abido, M. A.

“…An eigenvalue-based objective function to increase the system damping and improve the system response is developed. Then, a real-coded genetic algorithm is employed to search for optimal controller parameters. …”

Courtroom proverbial murals in Lebanon by Khachan, Victor

“…This paper attempts to draw attention to the discursive importance of these courtroom proverbial murals in the conceptualization of justice in the Lebanese legal and judicial system by unfolding the semiotic code of the proverbial murals. This work categorizes the murals under investigation (20 murals) into three “functional” or semiotic categories: social (six proverbs), quasi-judicial (nine proverbs; three of which are religious, two ethical, and four political) and judicial (five proverbs). …”

Self-Consolidated Concrete-to-Conductive Concrete Interface: Assessment of Bond Strength and Mechanical Properties by EL-Afandi, Mohammed

“…The flexural strength study confirms that positioning the CC mix in the tensile region is beneficial since it can increase the flexural strength of a structure because of the hybrid steel fibers included in the mixture. Finally, different codes/specifications and published theoretical results are used to predict the CC’s mechanical properties, and the predictions are not as accurate as the SCC predictions, which can be attributed to the presence of conductive fillers in the CC mix.…”
