    Senior class of 1970 (Lebanese American University, 2011-04-15)
  • Investigation on micro-patterned gold-plated polymer substrate for a micro hydraulic actuator 
    Akle, Barbar; Leo, Donald J.; Sundaresan, Vishnu Baba (2017-06-01)
    Plants have the ability to develop large mechanical force from chemical energy available with bio-fuels. The energy released by the cleavage of a terminal phosphate ion during the hydrolysis of a bio-fuel assists the ...
  • Investing in gold 
    Arayssi, Mahmoud (2018-04-17)
    Gold is an attractive investment vehicle for many people. Some risks of in investing in gold are surveyed. The price of gold and its fluctuation are examined which raises the concern to all short and long-term investors ...
  • Investment Arbitration 
    Abi Farraj, Wajih (Lebanese American University, 2020-02-18)
    Investment arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism that solves investment disputes outside the scope of state courts. This mechanism has been recognized in the Lebanese law where the Lebanese legislator ...
  • Investment as a critical issue in Saudi Arabia. (c1987) 
    Souccar, Roger (2011-09-15)
  • Invisible No More 
    Taleb, Farah (Lebanese American University, 2023-05-18)
    This thesis examines the experiences of people living with migraine through a feminist lens. Utilizing theories of feminist disability, the French philosopher Foucault’s ideas on power, and intersectionality, this research ...
  • Involutional type of entropion in a child with cutis laxa 
    Ma'luf, Riad N.; Ghazi, Nicola G. (2019-06-19)
  • In‐hospital neonatal mortality and the role of consanguinity 
    Matar, Maroun; Charafeddine, Lama; Ammous, Farah; Kobeissi, Loulou; De Ver Dye, Timothy; Faddous Khalife, Marie Claude; Yunis, Khalid (2019-04-09)
    Abstract Background: Consanguinity which increases the risk of genetic disorders has been implicated at times in infant mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the association between consanguinity and in‐hospital ...
  • Ionic electroactive hybrid transducers 
    Akle, Barbar J.; Bennett, Matthew D.; Leo, Donald J. (SPIE, 2017-05-30)
    Ionic electroactive actuators have received considerable attention in the past ten years. Ionic electroactive polymers, sometimes referred to as artificial muscles, have the ability to generate large bending strain and ...
  • Ionic Liquid Nafion Nanofiber Mats Composites for High Speed Ionic Polymer Actuators 
    Akle, B.; Nah, C.; Kwak, S. K.; Kim, N.; Lyu, M.-Y.; Hwang, B.S.; Leo, D. J. (2016-10-17)
    A new attempt is made for application of the NafionTM nanofiber mat prepared by the electrospinning process to solve the main disadvantage of slow response speed of ionomer-ionic liquid transducers. The measured conductivities ...
  • Ionic Polymer Transducers in sensing 
    Akle, Barbar; Weiland, Lisa Mauck (2016-10-21)
    Accurate sensing of mechanical strains in civil structures is critical for optimizing structure reliability and lifetime. For instance, combined with intelligent control systems, electromechanical sensor output feedback ...
