To address rising energy demand and global warming, green hydrogen-based energy systems offer a promising alternative to fossil fuels. This study investigates the coupling of an Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyser, metal hydride (MH) storage, and a Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell&#...

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with hypertension being a major risk factor for stroke. According to the World Stroke Organisation Global Stroke Fact Sheet, hypertension alone is responsible for over half of all stroke-related deaths and disab...

In this paper, the observer-based quasi-consensus control problem is investigated for a class of discrete-time multi-agent systems subject to time-varying delay. To improve communication quality and extend transmission distance, a stochastic communication protocol and an amplify-and-forward relay mechanism ...

As cities continue to grow and digital technologies reshape urban life, the concept of smart cities (S-Cits) has gained global momentum. In Qatar, this transformation brings unique challenges—especially around citizen engagement, data privacy, and governance. The aim of this thesis was to&#x...

The effective design of channels in dry tape preforms is crucial for achieving desired preform permeability for successful resin injection for composites manufacturing using Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) process. This work investigates the correlation between spatial variability of the preforms ...

Relay-assisted transmission has emerged as an effective means to enhance communication reliability and extend transmission range in networked systems. Integrating relay mechanisms into state estimation architectures can significantly enhance both accuracy and stability in remote and resource-constrained environ...

Background: Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), such as paraplegia, are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than non-disabled individuals. Furthermore, these individuals have high levels of sedentary behaviour, which is an independent risk factor for CVD. Reducing and bre...

The C2a projection of the central pair of flagella in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii harbours the A-kinase anchoring protein FAP65, FAP174, FAP147 and FAP70. FAP174, an RII-like protein with its N-terminal dimerization and docking domain, binds to the amphipathic helices of FAP65. Cryo-EM data&#x...

This paper addresses the robust model predictive control problem for a class of networked control systems with polytopic uncertainties and hard constraints, where the controller design is complicated by the joint presence of an energy harvesting sensor in the forward channel and the...
