  • Kallab, Chadi (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-27)
    This thesis focuses on the NP-Hard problem of finding an optimal tree topology where leaves represent biological sequences. The problem consists of minimizing the number of changes between given and/or derived sequences. ...
  • Wahab, Hadi (Lebanese American University, 2017-12-08)
    This thesis examines what kind of label as a non-state actor does Hezbollah fit. Can it be described as an autonomous non-state actor or, alternatively, a proxy one? To explain this puzzle, the thesis focuses on specific ...
  • Salamey, Imad; Pearson, Frederic (2016-05-06)
    This article examines the rising contention between a global foreign policy promoting liberal democracy in the Middle East and Islamist rejectionism. It provides a sociopolitical analysis of the phenomena of radical Islamist ...
  • Mokdad, Diana (Lebanese American University, 2022-12-04)
    Lebanon’s foreign policy has been subjected to a variety of internal and external influences that continue to shape its focus and orientation. Among the internal influences on that policy come from Hezbollah, an armed ...
  • Bassil, Maya; Zeeni, Nadine; Farran, Natalie; Obeid, Omar (2018-05-10)
    Phosphorus (P) nutrition status was found to be inversely related to obesity and metabolic syndrome in observational studies and this is thought to be mediated through an effect of P on liver metabolism (Obeid, 2013). This ...
  • Bacha, Nahla Nola; Bahous, Rima; Nabhani, Mona (2015-10-28)
    The issue of academic integrity in cheating on exams and plagiarising in writing is not a new one. All schools need to address this problem and some more than others. In the L2 context, the issues become more complex as ...
  • Soo, Y.C.; Beckner, M.; Romanos, J.; Wexler, C.; Pfeifer, P.; Buckley, P.; Clement, J. (American Physical Society, 2019-10-11)
    In this talk we will present an overview of our new Hydrogen Test Fixture (HTF) constructed by the Midwest Research Institute for The Alliance for Collaborative Research in Alternative Fuel Technology to test activated ...
  • Mourad, Azzam; Laverdiere, Marc-André; Debbabi, Mourad (2018-08-17)
    In this paper, we propose an aspect-oriented language, called SHL (Security Hardening Language), for specifying systematically the security hardening solutions. This language constitutes our new achievement towards developing ...
  • Mourad, Azzam; Laverdiere, Marc-André; Debbabi, Mourad (2015-11-25)
    In this paper, we present an aspect-oriented approach and propose a high-level language called SHL (Security Hardening Language) for the systematic security hardening of software. The primary contribution of this proposition ...
  • Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Langston, Micheal A.; Shanbhag, Pushkar (2017-03-22)
    Ongoing work is described in which fast graph algorithms are combined with parallel, grid and reconfigurable technologies. This synergistic strategy can help solve problem instances too large or too difficult for standard ...
  • Malik, Charles; Dandan, Khaled; Younes, Rida (2023-05-03)
    Discovered over a hundred years ago, superconductivity has revolutionized physics by opening a new door of understanding. Relying on the newly established theories of quantum mechanics to explain the mechanisms and reasons ...
  • Nauffal, Diane Issa (University of Birmingham, 2018-08-28)
    This research study takes a close look at the higher education system in Lebanon. It attempts to identify the principal management cultures in seven institutes of higher education each adopting a different educational ...
  • Bey, Hisham Mardam (Lebanese American University, 2011-07-13)
    Identifying moving objects and isolating background noise to concentrate on a particular foreground object is a task that is heavily needed by a lot of applications in this day and time. Such a task is not always an easy ...
  • Abu-Khzam, Faisal N.; Mouawad, Amer A.; Jahed, Karim A. (IEEE, 2017-03-16)
    Summary form only given. We introduce the notion of a virtual topology and explore the use of search-tree indexing to achieve highly scalable parallel search-tree algorithms for NP-hard problems. Vertex Cover and Cluster ...
  • Salloukh, Bassel F. (2018-09-25)
    Hilal Khashan's book is a sweeping indictment of the myriad Arab failures since the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the emergence of the modern Arab state system. It is a story of overwhelming Arab failures at all levels: ...
  • Unknown author (Khatt Books, 2018-10-02)
  • Mershad, Khaleel; Hamie, Ali; Hamze, Mohamed (2024-02-27)
    Mobile ad-hoc networks are wireless self-organized networks in which mobile nodes can connect directly to each other. This fact makes such networks highly susceptible to security risks and threats, as malicious nodes can ...
  • Harmouche, Chantal (Lebanese American University, 2018-10-08)
    There is a rising need of integrating challenging and innovative teaching and learning approaches into the educational system. With my passion for hip-hop, I decided to conduct a study that measures students’ readiness and ...
  • Abi-Habib, Ralph J.; Kobbeissi, Mohamad; Farhat, Firas; Dbaibo, Ghassan S.; Kurdi, Rana M.; Mikati, Mohamad A.; El Sabban, Marwan E.; Asaad, Wissal (2015-11-30)
    Summary:  Purpose: Status epilepticus (SE) can result in acute neuronal injury with subsequent long-term age-dependent behavioral and histologic sequelae. To investigate potential mechanisms that may underlie SE-related ...
  • Aghacy, Samira (2016-11-15)
    On reading Rachid EI-Daif's semiautobiographical novel 'Azizi al-Sayyid Kawahata (Dear Mr. Kawabata, 1995), I was struck by an unusual reference to the narrator's grandmother who, owing to extreme poverty, had to leave her ...
