  • L'équation de Hamilton-Jacobi en contrôle optimal 
    Nour, Chadi (L' Universite Clause Bernard- Lyon 1, 2003-12-10)
    The main object of this thesis is the application of new methods from nonsmooth analysis and which use the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the study of certain problems in control theory. There are three parts in our work: * ...
  • A Collaborative Service Discovery and Service Sharing Framework for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Safa, Haidar; Artail, Hassan; Hamze, Hicham; Mershad, Khaleel (Springer, 2007)
    Service sharing and discovery play a relevant role in mobile ad hoc environments. Upon joining a self-organizing network, mobile nodes should be able to explore the environment to learn about, locate, and share the available ...
  • A Cluster Based Service Discovery Model for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Artail, Hassan; Safa, Haidar; Hamze, Hicham; Mershad, Khaleel (IEEE, 2007-12-04)
    Mobile ad hoc networks, as a typical example of self-organized networks, represent an emerging and promising communication paradigm. Not only the variety of devices but also the diversity of services is continuously ...
  • Of victims and victimizers in Truman Capote's In cold blood 
    El Hajj, Sleiman (American University of Beirut, 2008)
    Capote arguably deploys a particular gay or oppositional vision through his non- fiction novel as a subversive counter-narrative. Given the fierce anti-queer sen timent consuming mid-century America and the subsequent ...
  • DSDM: A Distributed Service Discovery Model for Manets 
    Artail, Hassan; Mershad, Khaleel W.; Hamze, Hicham (2008-07-29)
    Service discovery is indispensable to ad hoc networking where establishing a stand-alone and self-configurable communication environment is the main objective. This paper concentrates on designing a distributed service ...
  • COACS: A Cooperative and Adaptive Caching System for MANETs 
    Artail, Hassan; Safa, Haidar; Mershad, Khaleel; Abou-Atme, Zahy; Sulieman, Nabeel (2008-08)
    This paper introduces a cooperation-based database caching system for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). The heart of the system is the nodes that cache submitted queries. The queries are used as indices to data cached in ...
  • Testing Received Wisdom: Perceptions of Security in Southern Lebanon 
    Hutson, R.; Kolbe, A.; Haines, T.; Springer, B.; Shannon, H.; Salamey, Imad (Cambridge University Press, 2009)
    The people of Southern Lebanon have survived protracted sectarian conflict, Israeli occupation, and, in mid-2006, a devastating war. The 2006 war between Hizbollah and Israel killed approximately 1,000 people in Southern ...
  • MDPF: Minimum Distance Packet Forwarding for Search Applications in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Artail, Hassan; Mershad, Khaleel (2009-03-12)
    This paper introduces a message forwarding algorithm for search applications within mobile ad hoc networks that is based on the concept of selecting the nearest node from a set of designated nodes. The algorithm, which is ...
  • The effects of peer-versus self-editing on learner autonomy in ESL writing 
    Diab, Nuwar Mawlawi (University of Leicester, 2009-07-03)
    This thesis reports on an action research study carried out with students attending an English medium university. The action research comprised three cycles, each presented here as a Study. Study One, which investigated ...
  • SSUM: Smart Server Update Mechanism for Maintaining Cache Consistency in Mobile Environments 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (2010-01-15)
    This paper proposes a cache consistency scheme based on a previously proposed architecture for caching database data in MANETs. The original scheme for data caching stores the queries that are submitted by requesting nodes ...
  • Semantic Caching for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (IEEE, 2010-01-29)
    Nodes in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) acquire data from servers through access points. In order to minimize this interaction, data caching at mobile nodes is employed. This work builds on a recently introduced cooperative ...
  • Using RSUs as Delegates for Pervasive Access to Services in Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Artail, Hassan (IEEE, 2010-06-03)
    Vehicular ad hoc networks, also known as VANETs, enable vehicles which are not necessarily within the same radio transmission range to communicate with each other. In addition to allowing direct communication between ...
  • Pga1. (c2009) 
    Hashash, Rami A. (Lebanese American University, 2010-09-23)
    The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans is one of the leading causative agents of death in immunocompromised individuals. Many factors have been implicated in virulence including filamentation inducing transcription ...
  • Characterization of Dse1 a candida albicans cells wall protein. (c2009) 
    Daher, Jalil Y. (Lebanese American University, 2010-09-23)
    Candida albicans is the most common diploid fungal pathogen in humans and one of the leading causative agents of death in immunocompromised individuals. The fungus harbors an arsenal of factors that are implicated in its ...
  • Enumeration of Novel Lake Superior Cluster I (LSI) as a friction of the total picocyanobacteria in the autotrophic picoplankton (APP) Using quantitative real-time PCR. (c2009) 
    Andari, Jihad (Lebanese American University, 2010-09-24)
    Cyanobacteria known previously as blue-green algae are successful phototrophic organisms which are ubiquitously found in the environment. This organism contributes significantly to the global carbon and nitrogen budget. ...
  • Cultural literacy awareness kit. (c2010) 
    Berjawi, Monya Aref (Lebanese American University, 2010-09-27)
    This is an eye opener regarding the importance of literacy, be it cultural or critical in a grade 6 classroom. It defines literacy, cultural literacy and critical literacy as well. It reveals their significance, how they ...
