    Abou-Rjeily, Chadi (2017-04-11)
    In this paper, we present a general technique for constructing minimal-delay unitary differential Space-Time (ST) block codes for Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) with an arbitrary number of transmit antennas and signal set ...
  • Univariate modeling and forecasting of energy consumption 
    Saab, Samer; Badr, Elie; Nasr, George (2016-02-23)
    In Lebanon, electric power is becoming the main energy form relied upon in all economic sectors of the country. Also, the time series of electrical energy consumption in Lebanon is unique due to intermittent power outages ...
  • Unmanned aerial vehicles as store-carry-forward nodes for vehicular networks 
    Fawaz, Wissam; Atallah, Ribal; Assi, Chadi; Khabbaz, Maurice (2019-10-03)
    A fully connected vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) establishes a strong foundation for the development of smart cities, where one of the main objectives is the improvement of the welfare of commuting passengers. The ...
  • Unsustainability in emergent systems 
    Haddad, Marc; Mansour, Charbel; Stephan, Jad (IEEE, 2017-06-12)
    The land transportation network in Lebanon faces continuing and wide-ranging challenges at the level of infrastructure development, planning and overall system management. These challenges are already significant enough ...
  • Uplift capacity and impact resistance of roof tiles 
    Abi Shdid, Caesar; Mirmiran, Amir; Wang, Ton-Lo; Jimenez, Diego; Huang, Peng (2016-10-20)
    Roof coverings, particularly barrel tiles, have experienced significant damage over the last few years from storms, even weaker storms such as Category 1 Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Efforts have been made to ban mortar-set ...
  • URANS modeling of three airfoils with different stall mechanisms 
    Elkhoury, M.; Najem, J.; Nakad, Z. (ASME, 2017-08-03)
    Capability of recently developed Menter (ME) and Modified Menter (MME) one-equation models in predicting prestall and poststall characteristics of three airfoils that exhibit different stall onset mechanisms is investigated. ...
