    Bkassiny, Mario (2010-12-20)
    Local Area Networks (LAN’s) are being expanded over large geographic areas and they are used in many business fields. Thus, communication links between buildings are to be optimized in order to achieve high transmission ...
  • A full-system finite element approach to elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems 
    Habchi, Wassim (L’Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, 2018-01-02)
    In this thesis, a full-system finite element approach to elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication problems is introduced. EHD lubrication is a full-film regime where the pressure generated in the conjunction is high enough to ...
  • The graphic novel's West Asian new wave. (c2014) 
    Sabbagh, Mona Majzoub (2015-02-26)
    While the graphic novel is becoming a well-established genre in the West with its own definitions, bi-cultural authors develop a new West Asian trajectory, both in form and subject, from their own displacements as well as ...
  • Hierarchical memory synthesis in reconfigurable computers 
    Ouaiss, Iyad Elias (University of Cincinnati, 2018-02-07)
    A Reconfigurable Computer (RC) is a hardware platform that typically includes several programmable devices, memory devices, and possibly specialized devices such as analog-to-digital converters. Such high-performance ...
  • High performance applications on reconfigurable clusters 
    Nakad, Zahi (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2018-01-19)
    Many problems faced in the engineering world are computationally intensive. Filtering using FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters is an example to that. This thesis discusses the implementation of a fast, reconfigurable, ...
  • Highway geometric design changes in response to a fully autonomous vehicle fleet. (c2018) 
    Amine, Kamar Ali (Lebanese American University, 2018-10-15)
    This research investigates the potential changes in the geometric design of highway elements in response to a fully autonomous vehicle fleet. When driverless vehicles completely replace conventional vehicles, the human ...
  • IEEE 802.11 wireless mesh network. (c2008) 
    Khabbaz, Maurice (2011-10-06)
    The IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) gained widespread popularity as a layer-2 protocol for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). While the continuous lack of accurate analytical 802.11 MAC models as well as the ...
  • Impact of inter-relay cooperation on the performance of FSO systems with any number of relays. (c2015) 
    Noun, Zeina K. (2016-04-06)
    In recent times, FSO (Free Space Optics) technology placed itself as a powerful means to transport data in communication systems. Its great potential to provide relatively high data rates services amongst many other ...
  • Investigating the Fate of Tetracycline in an Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor and Its Effects on Antibiotic Resistance Gene Proliferation from Different Membrane Types 
    Zeeb, Reem (Lebanese American University, 2022-12-20)
    As the concern of fresh and clean water scarcity is raised worldwide, the necessity of water reuse stands out. In this sense, the AnMBR, an advanced wastewater treatment technology combining the advantages of the MBR and ...
  • 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 ...
  • Learn while tracking. (c2013) 
    Toukhtarian, Raffi (2013-09-03)
    Controlling a plant and automatically driving its output to track a user-defined reference trajectory with sufficiently small error has been an important problem in control theory and application. This problem is referred ...
  • Life Cycle Assessment of Wastewater Treatment Plant Varying Electricity Power Sources 
    Nassar, Dina (Lebanese American University, 2020-12-21)
