  • A low-Reynolds-number one-equation model of turbulence 
    Elkhoury, Michel (2016-02-17)
    This work proposes an improved form of Menter's single-equation eddy viscosity transport model. The new transport equation follows from the transformation of the k-ε closure that includes the Yap-correction term, which is ...
  • A machine learning approach for localization in cellular environments 
    Abdallah, Ali A.; Saab, Samer S.; Kassas, Zaher M. (IEEE, 2019-08-27)
    A machine learning approach is developed for localization based on received signal strength (RSS) from cellular towers. The proposed approach only assumes knowledge of RSS fingerprints of the environment, and does not ...
  • Machinic Utopias, Automated Futures 
    Abou-Jaoude, Grace (Delft University of Technology, 2018-07-02)
    ‘Machinic Utopias, Automated Futures’ speculates on the role of designers as active agents addressing the potential implications of automated technologies on urban space in the specific context of the horticultural production ...
  • Management, control and evolution of IP networks 
    Pujolle, Guy (Wiley, 2017-12-04)
  • A map matching approach for train positioning. Part I: Development and analysis 
    Saab, Samer S. (2019-07-29)
    This paper is devoted to the development of a map matching algorithm for a train positioning system. Due to the nonsteerable truck design associated with rail vehicles, rail track curvatures are reasonably small. Consequently, ...
  • A map matching approach for train positioning. Part II: Application and Experimentation 
    Saab, Samer S.; Saab, Samer S. (2019-07-30)
    For pt.I see ibid., vol.49, no.2, p.467-75 (2000). In this paper, applications of the map matching algorithm proposed in part I are presented. In particular, steady-state Kalman filters are proposed and applied for filtering ...
  • Map-based land vehicle navigation system with DGPS 
    Saab, Samer S.; Kassas, Zaher M. (IEEE, 2019-08-20)
    Commercial automobile navigation systems currently employ a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver coupled with a dead reckoning system and a map-matching algorithm. The dead reckoning system, which compensates for GPS ...
  • Map-based mobile positioning system 
    Saab, S. S.; El Kabbout, S. M. (2019-08-02)
    As operators, in the U.S., strive to meet the FCC mandates and regulations continue. Some operators have been asking for waivers, for not being able to meet Phase II of E911, which calls for a strict location of mobile ...
  • Mapping corruption in public roads construction in Lebanon. (c2019) 
    Saba, Rami Elias (Lebanese American University, 2019-11-27)
    Corruption in public works construction is a problem that governments and political administrations have to contend with all over the world. Lebanon is no stranger to this situation with the country ranking in the most ...
  • A mathematical model for frost growth and densification on flat surfaces 
    El Cheikh, Amne; Jacobi, Anthony (2021-07-13)
    Many factors including air temperature, humidity, and surface temperature are known to affect frost growth on heat transfer surfaces. In the present study, a new model for frost growth and densification on flat surfaces ...
  • A maximum-likelihood decoder for joint pulse position and amplitude modulations 
    Abou-Rjeily, Chadi (IEEE, 2017-06-08)
    In this paper, we consider the problem of maximum-likelihood (ML) detection with multi-antenna impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communications in the cases where the information is modulated onto either the positions ...
  • Measuring and modeling electrostatic adhesion in micromachines 
    Tabbara, M.R.; De Boer, M.P.; Dugger, M.T.; Clews, P.J.; Michalske, T.A. (2018-02-20)
    We measure deformations of electrostatically actuated cantilever beams adhered to a substrate and compare results to numerical simulations. Beams are peroxide treated and either supercritically dried or coated with ...
  • Measuring the effects of stormwater mitigation on beach attendance 
    Atiyah, Perla; Pendleton, Linwood; Vaughn, Ryan; Lessem, Neil (2017-09-07)
    Many studies have used valuation techniques to predict the potential effect of environmental improvements on human use of coastal areas, but there is a lack of post hoc empirical evidence that these policies indeed affect ...
