  • Fayad, Karl (2016-05-06)
    Higher data rates have always been the main demand ever since the emergence of telecommunications. This quest for faster and more reliable communications has led to the evolution of numerous generations of wired and wireless ...
  • Abou-Rjeily, Chadi; Fayad, Karl (IEEE, 2016-10-28)
    In this paper, we consider the problem of differential space-time (ST) block coding in the context of impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communications with two transmit antennas and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM). We ...
  • Jahed, Karim; Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Moussawi, Abdallah; Abou Daya, Abbas; Dbouk, Hassan; Kassir, Saadallah; Dawy, Zaher (Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-06-29)
    We present a scalable mobile multimedia streaming system with device-to-device cooperation that enables common content distribution in dense wireless networking environments. This is particularly applicable to use cases ...
  • Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Langston, Micheal A.; Shanbhag, Pushkar (2018-04-24)
    A novel combination of emergent algorithmic methods, powerful computational platforms and supporting infrastructure is described. These complementary tools and technologies are used to launch systematic attacks on combinatorial ...
  • Yassine, Mohamad M. (Lebanese American University, 2017-12-08)
    Dynamic programming on tree decompositions is often a key for solving a widerange of optimization problems that would otherwise be intractable. Operations on tree decompositions are amenable to parallelization. However, ...
  • Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Langston, Micheal; Shanbhag, Pushkar; Symons, Christopher (2015-12-07)
    Algorithmic methods based on the theory of fixed-parameter tractability are combined with powerful computational platforms to launch systematic attacks on combinatorial problems of significance. As a case study, optimal ...
  • Husain, Aatif M. (Demos Medical Publishing, 2019-02-25)
  • Ghandour, Tarek (2021-05-17)
    The World Happiness Report is an annual survey of the state of global happiness. It is generally administered by the United Nations. Throughout the report, 156 countries are ranked by how content their citizens tend to ...
  • Aercke, Kristiaan P. (2016-11-04)
  • Isahakian, Vatche Raffi (Lebanese American University, 2011-09-26)
    At universities where students enjoy flexibility in selecting courses, the Registrar's office aims to generate an appropriate exam schedule for numerous courses and large number of students. An appropriate exam schedule ...
  • Mansour, Nashat; Kehyayan, Christine; Khachfe, Hassan (2016-01-27)
    In this paper, we present a Scatter Search (SS) algorithm for predicting 3D structures of proteins based on torsion angles representation. Given the protein's sequence of Amino Acids (AAs), our algorithm produces a 3D ...
  • Tarhini, Abbas; Makki, Jawad; Chamseddine, Mohamad Mohamad Jaafar (IEEE, 2019-09-13)
    Cross-docking is a practice in logistics in which shipments are directly moved from an inbound truck into an outbound truck. A recognized problem in this domain is the assignment of trucks to doors in a way that the distance ...
  • Mansour, Nashat; Stamboulian, Mouses (Springer, 2018-05-17)
    Homology modeling is an effective technique in protein structure prediction (PSP). However this technique suffers from poor initial target-template alignments. To improve homology based PSP, we propose a scatter search ...
  • Kehyayan, Christine Houry (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-25)
    Proteins are organic compounds made up of chains of amino acids. These amino acids are formed from atoms and the chain fold into complex 3-dimensional structures based on their chemical and physical properties. A protein ...
  • Stamboulian, Mouses Hrag (Lebanese American University, 2015-09-30)
    Determining a protein’s structure is a challenging goal in structural bioinformatics, offering important insight towards understanding the function of a protein. Homology modeling is an effective technique in protein ...
  • Mansour, Nashat; Isahakian, Vatche; Ghalayini, Iman (2016-01-26)
    At universities where students enjoy flexibility in selecting courses, the Registrar’s office aims to generate an appropriate exam timetable for numerous courses and large number of students. An appropriate, real-world ...
  • Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Al-Kassem, Ibrahim; Dawy, Zaher (2016-03-02)
    We address the problem of scatternet formation for network scenarios with a non-uniform distribution of Bluetooth devices. The assumption of having a non-uniform distribution of devices in a given area of interest is ...
  • Firr, Suad Selim (Lebanese American University, 2012-10-10)
  • Ayyash-Abdo, Huda; Alamuddin, Rayane; Mukallid, Samar (2015-11-27)
    This article examines the status of school counseling in Lebanon. An overview that points out some weakness in the educational system, such as high dropout and repetition rates, is presented. Calls for counseling have been ...
  • Baroud-Nabhani, Mona (University of Leicester, 2018-05-11)
    The purpose of this study was to identify school factors that promoted students' academic and personal development and enhanced their success in higher education. The underlying assumption was that effective decentralised ...
