  • Scalable parallel algorithms for dynamic programming on tree decomposition. (c2017) 
    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, ...
  • Scalable Parallel Algorithms for FPT Problems 
    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 ...
  • The Scandinavian anomaly: why Scandinavian countries constantly rank top 10 in the World Happiness Report 
    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 ...
  • Scaramutza in Germany 
    Aercke, Kristiaan P. (2016-11-04)
  • A Scatter search algorithm for exam scheduling. (c2006) 
    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 ...
  • Scatter Search algorithm for Protein Structure Prediction 
    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 ...
  • Scatter search for homology modeling 
    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 ...
  • Scatter search for protein structure prediction. (c2008) 
    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 ...
  • Scatter search metaheuristic for homology based protein structure prediction. (c2015) 
    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 ...
  • Scatter search technique for exam timetabling 
    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 ...
  • A scatternet formation algorithm for Bluetooth networks with a non-uniform distribution of devices 
    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 ...
  • Schistosomiasis in Lebanon. (c1963) 
    Firr, Suad Selim (Lebanese American University, 2012-10-10)
  • School Counseling in Lebanon 
    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 ...
  • School culture, leadership, effectiveness and improvement, and student success in higher education 
    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 ...
  • School improvement. (c2007) 
    Maluf, Nabila Abdul Sater (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-27)
