  • Vibration absorbers for simply supported beams subjected to constant moving loads 
    Issa, Jimmy (2016-06-07)
    Vibration suppression in simply supported beams traversed by constant moving loads is explored using linear vibration absorbers. Assuming the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, the beam is modeled using its first ten modes. The ...
  • Vibration suppression in a cantilever beam using a string-type vibration absorber 
    Issa, Jimmy S.; Habchi, Wassim F. (ASME, 2017-06-28)
    A string-type vibration absorber is proposed to suppress energy from a vibrating beam. A cantilever beam is considered with a harmonic force applied at its free end. The vibration absorber is a string attached to the beam ...
  • Vibration suppression in space structures through cyclic application and removal of constraints 
    Issa, Jimmy; Mukherjee, Ranjan; Diaz, Alejandro (2018-02-08)
  • Vibration Suppression in Structures Using Cable Actuators 
    Issa, Jimmy; Mukherjee, Ranjan; Shaw, Steven (2016-06-07)
    We investigate the use of cable tension for active vibration control in frame structures. A general formulation for this class of systems is developed using finite elements, which includes the dynamics of the structure and ...
  • Vibration suppression through stiffness variation and modal disparity 
    Issa, Jimmy (Michigan State University, 2018-09-17)
    Vibration suppression is the main objective of this study. A semi-active and an active vibration control strategy based on stiffness variation are proposed for removing energy from vibrating structures. For the semi-active ...
  • Video features with impact on user quality of experience 
    Abbas, Nadine; Taleb, Sirine; Hajj, Hazem (IEEE, 2023-01-05)
    One of the major challenges in wireless networks is to quantify and evaluate the user quality of experience (QoE). Hence, network operators are continuously working towards identifying the factors that most affect the user ...
  • Views of stakeholders. (c2011) 
    Katerji, Alaa H. (Lebanese American University, 2011-11-17)
    School rules and policies are a major concern for educators, administrative personnel, teachers, and even students. Rules contribute to improve school effectiveness. This study elicited the views of stakeholders about ...
  • Views on classroom management issues. (c2008) 
    Iskandarani, Mona (Lebanese American University, 2011-08-02)
    The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of grades one through five students and teachers on classroom management issues in Everex School. Five semi structured interviews were conducted with five elementary ...
  • Violating human rights to protect human rights: the rise of European far right nationalism in the face of rising islamic fundamentalism 
    Touma, Jeannette (2023-04-04)
    European nationalism has been present in European countries ever since the French revolution. However, in recent years, it has been on the rise. For many studies, the reason behind this recent surge in rising nationalism ...
  • Violence in the health sector 
    Needham, Ian; McKenna, Kevin; Kingma, Mireille; Oud, Nico (2017-10-12)
  • Violent Extremism Prevention in the Era of Globalization 
    Safieddine, Line Abbas (Lebanese American University, 2020-11-23)
    Violent extremism is a key challenge to security in most parts of the world. This has become particularly the case as globalization facilitates violent extremism through global media coverages as well as global economic ...
  • The virtual diaspora. (c2018) 
    Maamary, Nicole Georges (Lebanese American University, 2019-04-23)
    International migration is attracting increasing attention among governments and hometown associations in particular because of the positive implications it can generate on the development of both sending and receiving ...
  • The virtual learning technology community 
    Majdalani, Mona C. (Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), 2018-09-19)
    Two years ago, the University of Wisconsin System, the state legislature and a number of businesses combined resources and provided funds to support regional and local projects to develop self-sustaining professional ...
  • Virtual topologies for massively parallel computations. (c2015) 
    Jahed, Karim A. (Lebanese American University, 2015-09-09)
    In their essence, recursive search tree algorithms are nothing but mere enumeration of the solution space. Most of the time is spent generating new search tree nodes with very little computation performed at each tree node. ...
  • The visibility of Palestinian Refugees 
    EL-Hussari, Ibrahim A. (2016-04-08)
    In the following critique El-Hussari discusses three of Ghassan Kanafani’s books: Rijal fil-Shams (Men in the Sun), Ma tabaqqa la-Kum (All That’s Left to You), and Umm Sa’ad. Kanafani. As a Palestinian refugee himself, ...
  • Visual aids in teaching home-economics in secondary schools. (c1965) 
    Rihani, Nawal; Sab-el-Aish, Nimvat (Lebanese American University, 2012-11-28)
