  • Is the non-market literature adequate to support coastal and marine management? 
    Atiyah, Perla; Pendleton, Linwood; Moorthy, Aravind (2017-09-07)
    Analysts increasingly look to the literature for estimates of the non-market value of coastal and marine resources. We examine the comprehensiveness, timeliness, geographical completeness, and methodological breadth of the ...
  • Is viscoelasticity of any relevance to quantitative EHL friction predictions? 
    Habchi, Wassim; Bair, Scott (2019-07-26)
    The classical study of friction in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) has often invoked viscoelastic response to explain the friction behavior at small slide-to-roll ratios. In these studies the shear modulus has been, ...

  • Joint computing, communication and cost-aware task offloading in D2D-enabled Het-MEC 
    Abbas, Nadine; Sharafeddine, Sanaa; Mourad, Azzam; Abou-Rjeily, Chadi; Fawaz, Wissam (2022-11-18)
    Due to the exploding traffic demands and the diversity of novel applications requiring extensive computation and radio resources, research has been active to devise mechanisms for responding to these challenges. Mobile ...
  • Joint distributed synchronization and positioning in UWB ad hoc networks using TOA 
    Denis, B.; Pierrot, J. B.; Abou-Rjeily, C. (2017-05-23)
    Print Request Permissions In this paper, we describe a global distributed solution that enables the simultaneous performance of time synchronization and positioning in ultra-wideband (UWB) ad hoc networks. On the one ...
  • The Kfarnabrakh Landslide of November 30th, 2015 
    Unknown author (2022-06-15)
    During the early hours of November 30th, 2015, the mountain town of Kfarnabrakh experienced a major landslide at one of the town’s rock cliffs. Kfarnabrakh is 1,150 meters above the sea level, 45 km south-east of Beirut, ...
  • Kinetics and adsorption of metolachlor and atrazineand the conversion products (deethylatrazine,deisopropylatrazine, hydroxyatrazine) in the soilprofile of a river basin 
    Vryzas, Z.; Papadopoulou-Mourkidou, E.; Soulios, G.; Prodromou, K. (2023-01-27)
    The adsorption kinetics and adsorption parameters of metolachlor, atrazine, deethylatrazine (DEA), deisopropylatrazine (DIA) and hydroxyatrazine (HA) were investigated in a soil profile in a maize field formed from recent ...
  • Knowledge integration in large-scale organizations and networks – Conceptual overview and operational definition 
    Haddad, Marc; Bozdogan, Krikor (SSRN, 2017-05-23)
    Knowledge integration is an emerging discipline in organizational science where the central proposition is that the increasing complexity of products and services being developed and delivered, means that the knowledge ...
  • KT2C. (c2014) 
    Al Kawam, Ahmad (2016-03-03)
    We introduce the K-way Thermal Chip Clustering (KT2C) algorithm; a VLSI chip partitioning algorithm that is used to reduce the chip’s temperature and prevent the formation of hotspots. The clustering algorithm is integrated ...
  • Landslide Hazard and Risk Level Assessment of Quarried Slopes in Lebanon using Drone Imagery 
    Kaafarani, Rouba (Lebanese American University, 2020-08-18)
    Human activities are continuously altering the geometry and steepness of natural slopes. When left exposed and unprotected, these slopes become susceptible to slide due to natural triggering factors like earthquakes and ...
  • Landslide hazard mapping for Lebanon 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace; Wartman, Joseph (Korea Geotechnical Society, 2022-06-20)
    Landslides are a major hazard in Lebanon due to the country’s rugged topography and its setting in a region of high seismicity and high rainfall intensity. The situation is further exasperated by rapid expansion in urban ...
