Revisiting open space provision in Beirut (2012)
Journal Article

In a country like Lebanon with a notorious reputation of being chaotic and hectic, it might be hard to believe that the professions which promote organisation and structure, such as urban design, have considerable impact on shaping urban settings. Ye... Read More about Revisiting open space provision in Beirut.

Synthesis and evaluation of novel kinase inhibitors as anti-cancer agents (2012)
Thesis

Disruption of protein kinase signalling pathways is often associated with cancer. The
RhoA/ROCK kinase pathway has been shown to be constitutively expressed in many cancers
and has also been shown to be involved in metastasis and apoptosis. ROCK is... Read More about Synthesis and evaluation of novel kinase inhibitors as anti-cancer agents.

Exploring the level of readiness and identifying Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the successful adoption of the Virtual Team (VT) mode of work into the Omani Commercial Banking Sector (OCBS) (2012)
Thesis

Knowledge has been realized as an invaluable intangible asset and source of
organisations' competitive advantage. Research on knowledge is as long as human
civilization history. The knowledge management (KM) field of research has grown
steadily re... Read More about Exploring the level of readiness and identifying Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the successful adoption of the Virtual Team (VT) mode of work into the Omani Commercial Banking Sector (OCBS).

Ecosystem services of urban amenity greenspace and the impact of future climate and socio-economic change (2012)
Thesis

Urban greenspaces make a positive contribution to climate change mitigation,
sustainability, and the wellbeing of urban inhabitants. Global and National efforts are
underway to communicate the value of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning within... Read More about Ecosystem services of urban amenity greenspace and the impact of future climate and socio-economic change.

Making decisions about the future of health systems (2012)
Thesis

Introduction: Sustainability of health interventions in developing countries has been limited
by the capacities of their health systems. As a result, efforts have been invested by the
international community to make health systems thinking coherent... Read More about Making decisions about the future of health systems.

A transmission electron microscopy study of inert gases in silicon and iron (2012)
Thesis

This thesis presents a study of inert gas inclusion in iron and silicon, as a result of ion
implantation. The effect of ion implantation conditions on the formation and
development of inert gas bubbles within these solids has been explored, and the... Read More about A transmission electron microscopy study of inert gases in silicon and iron.

Characterisation of a panel of recombinant antigens from Echinococcus granulosus and their role in the immunological follow up, after treatment, of cystic hydatid patients from Turkana, Kenya (2012)
Thesis

Cystic echinococcosis is a serious zoonotic disease caused by the metacestode
of Echinoccoccus granulosus inflicting significant morbidity and mortality in
many parts of the world. Treatment of human hydatid cases involves
chemotherapy with the dr... Read More about Characterisation of a panel of recombinant antigens from Echinococcus granulosus and their role in the immunological follow up, after treatment, of cystic hydatid patients from Turkana, Kenya.

A non-intrusive technique for asserting user identity in pervasive computing environments (2012)
Thesis

Pervasive computing environments are an exciting new computing scene due to the
recent advances in wireless communications and digital electronics. These
environments are small smart worlds that have many advantages, such as
continuous and distrib... Read More about A non-intrusive technique for asserting user identity in pervasive computing environments.

Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value (2012)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., Ruiz, D., & Ramos-Ridao, A. (2012). Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value. Noise and Vibration Worldwide, 43(1), 11-18. https://doi.org/10.1260/0957-4565.43.1.11

Temporal structure of sound pressure level is
a key aspect at the time of characterizing
urban sound environments. In urban
agglomerations, environmental noise levels
fluctuate over a large range as a result of
the great complexity of these sett... Read More about Estimation procedure of the descriptor LAeq,T from the stabilization time of the sound pressure level value.
