We consider an inverse problem for the acoustic scalar wave equation in a cluttered waveguide. The problem is to find the location of sources or scatterers, given measurements of the pressure at a remote array of transducers. ...

We present a new and fast method that blends altimetric and drifter positions data in order to predict the surface velocity in the Eastern Levantine Mediterranean. The method relies on a variational assimilation approach ...

A fast simplified model for a pressure-driven, unsteady and incompressible flow in two dimensional microchannels with a variable cross section is presented. The model relies on a perturbation analysis of the equations of ...

This study investigated the academic, personal, and social problems of a selected group of Lebanese college students in the United States. The study was conducted in the following manner: Purposes were established; the ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Lebanese-Arabic translation of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) in preadolescents, early and late ...

This paper presents a simulated annealing algorithm in order to solve the nonpreemptive open-shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. The method is based on a simulated annealing algorithm ...

The increase in density that the advent of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) has allowed, made the move to higher levels of design abstraction imperative. High Level Synthesis emerged as a result; however, most solutions ...

System-On-Chip (SOCs) test minimization is an important problem that has been receiving considerable attention. The problem is tightly coupled with the number of TAM bits, power, and wrapper design. This paper presents a ...
