Detection and tracking for radar simulation using MATLAB
The objective of the project is to simulate the real time Radar detection and tracking
operations using MATLAB software. Radar system use modulated waveforms and directive
antennas to transmit electromagnetic energy into a specific volume in space to search for
targets. Objects (targets) within a search volume will reflect portions of this energy (radar
returns or echoes) back to the radar. These echoes are then processed by radar receiver to
extract target information such as range. Velocity, angular position, and other target
identifying characteristics. The project mainly concentrates on the radar displays and
different radar types to collect the information of the flying objects, such as the range, speed,
distance, angles. The display types are A-scope, B-scope, C-scope, PPI, and RHI, which are
used in modern radars. While others are either obsolete or are found only in very specialized
applications. Signals displayed on these scopes can be raw video, synthetic video (detected
video) or computer-generated symbols. The radar types consider in the project are CWT
(Continuous Wave Transmission), Pulse, Doppler, and MTI (Moving Target Indicator). For
each display, all the values related to the object are calculated in different patterns and graphs
for the corresponding formulated values and angles
The effect of de Sitter like background on increasing the zero point budget of dark energy
During this work, using subtraction renormalization mechanism, zero point
quantum fluctuations for bosonic scalar fields in a de-Sitter like background
are investigated. By virtue of the observed value for spectral index, ,
for massive scalar field the best value for the first slow roll parameter,
, is achieved. In addition the energy density of vacuum quantum
fluctuations for massless scalar field is obtained. The effects of these
fluctuations on other components of the Universe are studied. By solving the
conservation equation, for some different examples, the energy density for
different components of the Universe are obtained. In the case which, all
components of the Universe are in an interaction, the different dissipation
functions, , are considered. The time evolution of
shows that
has best agreement in comparison to observational data including CMB, BAO and
SNeIa data set.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Non-commutative and commutative vacua effects in a scalar torsion scenario
In this work, the effects of non-commutative and commutative vacua on the
phase space generated by a scalar field in a scalar torsion scenario are
investigated. For both classical and quantum regimes, the commutative and
non-commutative cases are compared. To take account the effects of
non-commutativity, two well known non-commutative parameters, and
are introduced. It should be emphasized, the effects of which
is related to momentum sector has more key role in comparison to which
is related to space sector. Also the different boundary conditions and
mathematical interpretations of non-commutativity are explored.Comment: 10 pages, Accepted for publication in Physics Letters B

Information systems for interactive learning: Design perspective
This paper aims to present and discuss educational issues and relevant research to universities and colleges in the Arabian Gulf Region. This include cultural, students’ learning preferences and the use of information and communication technology. It particularly focuses on interactive learning through the consideration of learning styles. It explores the sequential-global learning styles profile of undergraduate students as part of a continuous research in Information Systems design with a particular focus on the design of Interactive Learning Systems (ILSs). A study to examine the learning style profile of undergraduate students in a cohort of Management Information Systems at a UAE university has been conducted, and a discussion and recommendations on how these findings can be reflected on the design of ILSs are provided

PDE–Based Modelling and Control Strategies for Manufacturing Processes
This work aims to design boundary control strategies to solve demand tracking and backlog problems for manufacturing systems in terms of conservation laws coupled with ODEs in different network topologies. The OCPs are investigated in the dispersing and the merging networks. The problems are optimized utilizing open-loop optimal control based on the direct and the indirect approaches. The proposed approaches enable the solution of the OCPs. All of the approaches, in general, reach a local minima with similar behaviour that leads to the steady-state. The results analysis reveals that each method has its own distinct characteristics. The indirect methodology is characterized by excellent accuracy and minimal processing burden; yet, due to the information necessary to compute the gradient, it is a sensitive method. The ease of use and flexibility to any problem distinguishes the direct method. However, this approach takes substantially longer to achieve a solution when compared to the indirect method. Also, the AMPC was introduced to investigate demand tracking and backlog problems in the context of the complex network of production systems. The addressed network includes structures that are dispersing and merging. Furthermore, the appropriate way to handle the parameters of the AMPC for both control and prediction horizons is addressed. Moreover, the proposed AMPC provides for the solutions of demand tracking and backlog problems. In general, AMPC and traditional MPC attain local minima with similar behaviour that leads to steady-state convergence. When compared to a typical MPC, the AMPC's performance shows a considerable reduction in computational time. Additionally, because it provides a mathematical insight into the method's structure, the AMPC allows for great accuracy of optimal solutions. Finally, the AMPC is characterized by its robustness according to perturbation effects
Interacting scalar tensor cosmology in light of SNeIa, CMB, BAO and OHD observational data sets
During this work, an interacting chameleon like scalar field scenario, by
considering SNeIa, CMB, BAO and OHD data sets is investigated. In fact, the
investigation is realized by introducing an ansatz for the effective dark
energy equation of state, which mimics the behaviour of chameleon like models.
Based on this assumption, some cosmological parameters including Hubble,
deceleration and coincidence parameters in such mechanism are analysed. It is
realized that, to estimate the free parameters of a theoretical model, by
regarding the systematic errors it better the whole of the above observational
data sets to be considered. In fact, if one considers SNeIa, CMB and BAO but
disregards OHD it maybe leads to different results. Also to get a better
overlap between the counters with the constraint , the
function could be re-weighted. The relative probability
functions are plotted for marginalized likelihood according to two dimensional confidence
levels , and . Meanwhile, the value of free parameters
which maximize the marginalized likelihoods using above confidence levels are
obtained. In addition, based on these calculations the minimum value of
based on free parameters of an ansatz for the effective dark energy
equation of state are achieved.Comment: Accepted by the European Physical Journal C. 13 pages, 17 figures and

Coordination and Cooperation between Internal and External Auditors
Effective coordination and cooperation between internal and external auditors leads to several benefits for them and also for the clients whom they serve. It increases both the efficient and effective of audit and decreases audit fees. Professional bodies have confirmed their importance and their potential contribution in improving auditors’ works. However, this issue has not been extensively studied yet and need more research especially in developing countries. This paper discusses the professional standards which relating to, the benefits of, and the role of corporate governance in enhancing coordination and cooperation between auditors. Issues are analyzed by providing recommendations that could enhance it. This paper has argued that coordination and cooperation between auditors in the organization are both affected in and affected by their relationship with other corporate governance parties, and depended on the support of both audit committee and senior management, which could provide insights for future research.
