  • Capacity allocation for voice over IP networks using maximum waiting time models 
    Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Kongtong, Nattha; Dawey, Zaher (Springer, 2018-06-26)
    As voice services impose stringent quality of service (QoS) guarantees to perform well over IP networks, large network resources should be allocated to their traffic class. It gets unaffordable when hard guarantees are ...
  • Capacity assignment for video traffic in multiservice IP networks with statistical QoS guarantees 
    Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Dawy, Zaher (IEEE Computer Society, 2018-06-28)
    Transport of compressed video is expected to pervade computer networks in the near future. Video is commonly encoded in variable bit rate traffic to improve video quality and reduce encoding delays and yet to make efficient ...
  • Capacity assignment in multiservice packet networks with soft maximum waiting time guarantees 
    Sharafeddine, Sanaa (2016-03-02)
    We address the problem of capacity assignment in packet networks with soft maximum waiting time guarantees. We present a multi-level framework for designing and analyzing capacity assignment methods in multiservice networks. ...
  • A capacity margin for IP networks with QoS constraints and uncertain demands 
    Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Dawy, Zaher (IEEE, 2018-06-29)
    IP network planning based on a given traffic demand becomes obsolete as soon as the actual traffic slightly deviates from the given values. It is highly probable that this be the case in IP networks with no deployed resource ...
  • Carbon Black and silica as reinforcers of rubber polymers 
    Semaan, Mars E.; Quarles, C.A.; Nikiel, Leszek (2016-04-18)
    We have used Doppler broadening spectroscopy to investigate the effects of filling various rubber polymers with different amounts and types of carbon blacks and of silica. Carbon Black has important reinforcing properties ...
  • Carcinogenic and neurotoxic risks of acrylamide and heavy metals from potato and corn chips consumed by the Lebanese population 
    Hariri, Essa; Abboud, Martine I.; Demerdjian, Sally; Korfali, Samira; Mroueh, Mohamad; Taleb, Robin I. (2016-10-13)
    The present study aims to quantify acrylamide and metals in potato and corn chips and to determine their carcinogenic and neurotoxic risks. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the average acrylamide ...

    Houri, Ahmad; Xu, Zhongmin; Cogan, Derek A.; Hoveyda, Amir H. (2017-07-27)
  • The Case of Wildlife Trafficking in Lebanon 
    Itani, Rawane; Hreiby, Ghaidaa (2020-09-28)
    This project is about wildlife trafficking, a problem that is often left unaddressed by the media, citizens and even policy-makers in many countries including Lebanon. Secondary research was conducted to get more information ...
  • CASRA+ 
    Haraty, Ramzi A.; El Ariss, Omar (2015-10-23)
    The research proposed here is for an Arabic speech recognition application, concentrating on the Lebanese dialect. The system starts by sampling the speech, which is the process of transforming the sound from analog to ...
  • CASRA. (c2005) 
    Ariss, Omar Aref El- (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-18)
    Although there was, and still continues, extensive research and advancements in speech recognition on English language, there has been little research done on Arabic language. In addition, most of the research done is ...
  • Casting the other as an existential threat 
    Fakhoury, Tamirace; Darwich, May (2018-08-06)
    With the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, the Sunni–Shiite divide came back to the fore in regional politics. In this context, sectarian identities have now acquired a security dimension, as actors have started framing ...
  • A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 5,5-dimethylproline 
    Elaridi, Jomana; Jackson, W. Roy; Robinson, Andrea J. (2015-12-22)
    The methyl ester derivative of commercially available N-acetyl-allylglycine readily undergoes cross-metathesis with 2-methylbut-2-ene and ruthenium–alkylidene catalyst to afford the prenylglycine derivative. Acid-catalysed ...
  • Catalytic proton reduction with transition metal complexes of the redox-active ligand bpy2PYMe 
    Nippe, Micheal; Khnayzer, Rony S.; Panetier, Julien A.; Zee, David Z.; Olaiya, Babatunde S.; Head-Gordon, Martin; Chang, Christopher J.; Castellano, Felix N.; Long, Jeffrey R. (2017-11-03)
    A new pentadentate, redox-active ligand bpy2PYMe has been synthesized and its corresponding transition metal complexes of Fe2+ (1), Co2+ (2), Ni2+ (3), Cu2+ (4), and Zn2+ (5) have been investigated for electro- and ...
  • Cataract surgery outcomes at a UK independent sector treatment centre
