  • Saab, Samer S.; Shen, Dong (2019-07-24)
    This paper deals with iterative Jacobian-based recursion technique for the root-finding problem of the vector-valued function, whose evaluations are contaminated by noise. Instead of a scalar step size, we use an ...
  • Alkire, Sabina (2019-03-26)
    The Department of Economics in collaboration with UNESCWA invites the community to a public lecture by Professor Sabina Alkire from the University of Oxford. Professor Alkire directs the Oxford Poverty and Human Development ...
  • Jallad, Karl; Gurland, Brooke (2019-05-28)
    Rectal prolapse and vaginal prolapse have traditionally been treated as separate entities despite sharing a common pathophysiology. This compartmentalized approach often leads to frustration and suboptimal outcomes. In ...
  • Kuyumjian, Yara M.; Miyares, Marta A.; Leverock, Jaime; Chaparro, Sandra; Baker, William L.; jennings, Douglas L. (2017-09-05)
    While continuous-flow left-ventricular assist devices (CF-LVAD) prolong survival in patients with heart failure who are refractory to medical therapy [1], contemporary devices expose patients to a superposed risk of both ...
  • Haraty, Ramzi A.; Kasbah, Safaa J.; Damaj, Issam W. (2017-01-31)
    The problem of finding the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) plays a central role in modeling real world problems. Over the past years, Multigrid solvers have showed their robustness over other techniques, ...
  • Kasbah, Safaa J. (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-21)
    Physical, chemical and biological phenomena are modeled using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Interpreting and solving PDEs is the key for understanding the behavior of the modeled system. The broad field of modeling ...
  • Wang, Ya; Gao, Di; Tannir, Dani; Dong, Ning; Fang, Peter G.; Dong, Wei; Li, Peng (2020-07-17)
    Small-signal models of pulse-width modulation (PWM) converters are widely used for analyzing stability and play an important role in converter design and control. However, existing small-signal models either are based on ...
  • Akle, Barbar J.; Leo, Donald J. (SPIE, 2017-06-01)
    A transducer consisting of multiple layers of ionic polymer material is developed for applications in sensing, actuation, and control. The transducer consists of two to four individual layers each approximately 200 microns ...

    In a countty like Lebanon, that lacks most natural resources ( oil, metals, gold, etc), the only wealth left is its human resources. The Lebanese people were always proud of their ability to use their skills to bring wealth ...
  • Dernaika, Nasrat M. (Lebanese American University, 2011-01-05)
    Multimedia databases are becoming an increasingly important area for research and application in the entire field of database systems, therefore multimedia databases is considered a new topic of research which is still ...
  • Grant, Alex; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (2018-02-28)
    Regional-scale coseismic landslide hazard assessments have traditionally been based on infinite-slope analyses, considering only a single mode of failure. Inventories and landslide reconnaissance work have shown a diverse ...
  • Pollock, William; Grant, Alex; Wartman, Joseph; Abou-Jaoude, Grace (2022-06-09)
    Quantitative landslide risk analysis is a key step in creating appropriate land use policies. However, regional scale landslide hazard and risk studies are traditionally based on a single, infinite-slope style of failure, ...
