The prime objective of the current study is to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. In addition, the mediating role of organizational commitment and the moderating role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance is examined. The general aim of this [...]

Summary: In this study four catalysts (ƴ –Alumina, α- Alumina, silica gel and silica ppt) with different physicochemical characteristics were tested for the pyrolysis of polystyrene (PS) under inert atmosphere in the temperature range 200-650 °C at heating rate 5 °C/min. The silica gel a mesoporous catalyst, with a greater [...]

In this paper, a comprehensive Model-Predictive-Control (MPC) controller that enables effective complex track maneuvering for Self-Driving Cars (SDC) is proposed. The paper presents the full design details and the implementation stages of the proposed SDC-MPC. The controller receives several input signals such as an accurate car position measurement from the [...]

Engaging new mobile technology tools, which deliver information and knowledge, become part of our daily life. One of these tools is Augmented Reality (AR), a technology that blends the real world with computer-generated media. Through in-depth analysis, this study investigated the researchers’ (academics and students) behavioral intention to use mobile [...]

Background & Objective: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are one of the most important elements in the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. It is envisaged that WSNs will seamlessly bridge the physical world with the Internet resulting in countless IoT applications in smart cities, wearable devices, smart grids, smart retails amongst [...]

This study examines the smart mosque as a concept, developed through innovations in materials and technologies adopted to provide thermal comfort conditions and energy- efficient environments, in order to promote a sustainable mosque. The paper first provides a theoretical underpinning of the smart solutions applied in historical mosques with a [...]

In this paper, an advanced and reliable road-lanes detection and tracking technique is proposed and implemented. The proposed technique is well suited for use in Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications or Self-Driving Cars (SDC). The main emphasis of the proposed technique is the precision and the predictability in identifying [...]

The corrosion behaviour of steel reinforcement is a major concern for modern reinforced concrete infrastructures. Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) reinforcement might be proposed as an alternate solution to this problem. This paper investigates the structural performance of FRP and steel reinforced concrete beams. The test results revealed that FRP reinforced [...]

The Arabian Gulf is increasingly subjected to habitat alteration due to dredging, reclamation activities, and pollution from various anthropogenic sources, including industrial and domestic effluents and oil spills. These activities can affect the naturally stressed marine ecosystems. Genotoxicity and cytotoxicity biomarkers are widely recognized as an important tool to assess [...]

Governments around the world have realized the importance of Open Government Data – OGD as new paradigm shift in government that focuses on making governments more service oriented, transparent and competent. However, the situation of OGD initiative in Kingdom of Bahrain is not promising as reflected by number of assessments [...]
