A reliable algorithm based on the shifted orthonormal Bernstein polynomials for solving Volterra–Fredholm integral equations

open access: yesJournal of Taibah University for Science, 2018
This paper deals with the numerical solution of Volterra–Fredholm integral equations. In this work, we approximate the unknown functions based on the shifted orthonormal Bernstein polynomials, in conjunction with the least-squares approximation method ...

Computing the Deflection of the Vertical for Improving Aerial Surveys: A Comparison between EGM2008 and ITALGEO05 Estimates

open access: yesSensors, 2016
Recent studies on the influence of the anomalous gravity field in GNSS/INS applications have shown that neglecting the impact of the deflection of vertical in aerial surveys induces horizontal and vertical errors in the measurement of an object that is ...

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

On estimating gravity anomalies: A comparison of least squares collocation with least squares techniques

open access: yes, 1976
The least squares collocation algorithm for estimating gravity anomalies from geodetic data is shown to be an application of the well known regression equations which provide the mean and covariance of a random vector (gravity anomalies) given a ...

How Climate Change Shapes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Performance in the MENA Countries

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change, political stability, and sustainability are three central factors that interact and serve as key drivers of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Accordingly, this paper aims to fill a vital research gap by examining the impacts of climate change, natural resource ...

Do digital platforms create entrepreneurial opportunities? Evidence from marginal areas

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article enters the debate on the effects of digital platforms on entrepreneurial opportunities by estimating whether the entry of a home‐sharing platform shapes entrepreneurial decisions in marginal areas. We add a novel perspective to the literature, as we contend that when economic conditions are unfavorable, digital ...

Centimeter Precision Geoid Model for Jeddah Region (Saudi Arabia)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
In 2014, the Jeddah Municipality made a call for an estimate of a centimetric precision geoid model to be used for engineering and surveying applications, because the regional geoid model available at that time did not reach a sufficient precision.

Mixed operator problems using least squares finite element collocation

open access: yes, 1980
A finite element method based on least squares collocation on an element is formulated for problems of mixed type. The least squares method is developed using an incomplete quintic (C1) element and overdetermined element collocation equations.
