  • 2013 Ninth International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC) 
    Mansour, Nashat; El-Jazzar, Hanaa; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nman; Lebanese American University
    Scheduling courses into predefined periods and rooms over a week with a given set of constraints is an NP-complete problem. This work considers proposing three-phase heuristic algorithms that fulfils the requirements of ...
  • 7th International Conference in Swarm Intelligence 
    Mansour, Nashat; Stamboulian, Mouses; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (Springer, )
    Homology modeling is an effective technique in protein structure prediction (PSP). However this technique suffers from poor initial target-template alignments. To improve homology based PSP, we propose a scatter search ...
  • 10th International Conference on Intelligent Computing 
    Mansour, Nashat; Mohsen, Hussein; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (Springer, )
    Proteins are organic compounds made up of chains of amino acids that fold into complex 3-dimensional structures based on their chemical and physical properties. A protein is characterized by its 3D structure, which defines ...

    Mansour, Nashat; Danas, Konstantinos; Nammour, Fadi Louis; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (Springer, )
    Electronic Health Records (EHR) embody a large volume of measured values and records of clinical encounters. Data is produced in healthcare settings at a large rate. Medical researchers find themselves facing massive volumes ...
  • 2016 IEEE 18th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services (Healthcom) 
    Mansour, Nashat; Danas, Konstantinos; Nammour, Fadi; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (IEEE, )
    Patient information in healthcare organizations is distributed across several systems and data silos. Clinicians make decisions based on data in patient health records. Improving the efficiency of decision-support requires ...
  • A comparison of data mapping algorithms for parallel iterative PDE solvers 
    Mansour, Nashat; Fox, Geoffrey; Chrisochoides, Nikos
    We review and evaluate the performances of six data mapping algorithms used for parallel single-phase iterative PDE solvers with irregular 2-dimensional meshes on multicomputers. We provide a table that compares the six ...
  • Bee Colony Algorithm for Proctors Assignment. 
    Mansour, Nashat; Taha, Mohamad Kassem
    Proctor assignment refers to assigning proctors to examinations with the objective of having the appropriate number of proctors assigned to examinations, subject to conditions such as minimizing the load of proctoring and ...
  • SQIMSO 
    Mansour, Nashat; Zeineddine, Rabih
    Software quality improvement process remains incomplete if it is not initiated and conducted through a wide improvement program that considers process quality improvement, product quality improvement and evolution of human ...
  • A comparison of optimization heuristics for the data mapping problem 
    Mansour, Nashat; SAS; 198629170; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University
    In this paper we compare the performance of six heuristics with suboptimal solutions for the data mapping problem of two dimensional meshes that are used for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations(PDEs) ...
  • EVOLVE - A Bridge between Probability, Set Oriented Numerics, and Evolutionary Computation II 
    Mansour, Nashat; Tarhini, Abbas; Zeitunlian, Hratch; SAS; 198629170; 199107350; Computer Science and Mathematics; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; abbas.tarhini@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University (Springer, )
    This paper presents an evolutionary method for testing web applications. Although state-based testing has been reported, few papers have addressed modern web applications. In our work, we model web applications by associating ...
  • Proceedings of the ISCA 3rd International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology 
    El-Sibai, Mirvat; Rizk, Sandra; Mansour, Nashat; Ghalayini, Iman; SAS; 200703859; 199829370; 198629170; Natural Sciences; mirvat.elsibai@lau.edu.lb; sandra.rizk@lau.edu.lb; nmansour@lau.edu.lb; Lebanese American University

    Copper is an earth-abundant and a biologically essential metal that offers a promising alternative to noble metals in photochemistry and photobiology. In this work, a series of sterically encumbered Cu(I) bis-phenanthroline ...
  • School culture, leadership, effectiveness and improvement, and student success in higher education 
    Baroud-Nabhani, Mona (University of Leicester, )
    The purpose of this study was to identify school factors that promoted students' academic and personal development and enhanced their success in higher education. The underlying assumption was that effective decentralised ...
  • Teachers’ views on causes leading to their burnout 
    Nabhani, Mona; Bahous, Rima; El Helou, Maya
    Teaching is a challenging profession sometimes leading to teachers’ burnout: a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduced personal accomplishment. Burnout effects range from psychological, physical, ...
  • Faculty views on developing and assessing learning outcomes at the tertiary level 
    Nabhani, Mona; Bahous, Rima
    Assessing students' learning outcomes is on the agenda of higher education institutions seeking improvement of student learning. Faculty members should be well versed in developing and assessing learning outcomes and ...
  • Figures of speech in the physics classroom 
    Nabhani, Mona; Bahous, Rima; Natout, Mahmoud; Saouma, Dahlia

  • Phosphorus supplementation increases thermic response to glucose solution in healthy lean subjects 
    Bassil, Maya; Zeeni, Nadine; Obeid, Omar
    Thermic effect of food (TEF) is believed to be largely related to ATP production that is known to depend on phosphorus (P) availability. We hypothesised that the addition of P to a glucose load would enhance ATP production ...
