The Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-Advanced) transmission bandwidth can be expanded by Carrier Aggregation (CA), where CA technology expands effective bandwidth supported to User Equipment (UE) by utilizing of radio resources across multiple carriers. Recently, many studies have been conducted on the radio resource allocation with CA. However, m

This study attaches the downlink radio resource allocation problem in the LTE-Advanced system by introducing an enhanced cross component carrier proportional fair algorithm. The importance of the study comes from the fact that almost all prior studies were not able to create a balance between the throughput and fairness of the system to optimize it

Measuring gender norms of young people are one of the important issues that have been attracted by the attention of the researchers in education. Currently, gender related violence, including sexual, physical, or psychological harm to girls and boys on the basis of their sex is common in the classroom as well as public domain. The purpose of this p

تتناول هذه الدراسة معيار الموقفية بصفته أحد معايير النصية الأساسية العامة لدى دي بوجراند، والتي تشكل مبادئ الاتصال والتواصل النصي الناجع بين الملقي والمتلقي، وتبيّن وجوه التقاء آراء اللغويي

In this paper, a new integrated control system via visual-servoing and cascaded proportional derivative (PD) controllers for an autonomous hexacopter is proposed. The spherical image based visual servoing is designed to control the hexacopter to the desired pose with respect to an arbitrary target in three-dimensional (3D) workspace based on images

Pulse oximetry is a well-known procedure used to measure the level of oxygen (oxygen saturation) in the blood. The measurement of oxygen saturation level is of highly significance in supervising a patient’s health condition. This is most commonly supervised by a normal pulse oximeter, which has been extensively endorsed around the world as a meas

Citizens’ rights of women and youth are enshrined in the Qur’Én. Both men and women, regardless of their age, social class and educational level, are equal as citizens, but not identical, in their rights and responsibilities. This study suggests that Islam has empowered women with the most progressive rights since the seventh century. There wa

Given current technologies, marketers are employing several techniques to differentiate their brands from others due to intense competition and low switching cost. Brand personality is one is one such approach. Aaker’s brand personality model with its five dimensions (sincerity, excitement, competence, sophistication, and ruggedness) has been use

Wireless sensor networks are considered as the enabling technology for multiple smart grid applications such as remote metering, direct load control, renewable energy integration, substation monitoring etc. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard provides a basic foundation by defining the physical and MAC layer of the low power wireless sensor network. Carrier

Micro gap heat sinks with internal micro fins are potential candidates for evaporative cooling of miniature electronic devices. Generation of turbulence during flow boiling in a micro gap is an important issue in two-phase heat transfer analysis. Surface roughness and fins play important role in turbulence generation. In this paper, effects of micr
