Novel algorithms for accurate DNA base-calling
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)
The ability to decipher the genetic code of different species would lead to significant future scientific achievements in important areas, including medicine and agriculture. The importance of DNA sequencing necessitated ...
Evaluation of the interaction potential of synthetic ethylene glycol compounds with nuclear Factor κB
(PKP, 2013)
In the last three decades, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) has been the focus of many researchers who are interested in understanding the various molecular mechanisms involved in inflammatory diseases and cancer. Interference ...
Learning-Based Space-Time Adaptive Processing
(2013-06)
The probability of target detection in airborne-radar missions depends on the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. In order to maximize the probability of detection, it is necessary to maximize the target ...
International Diversification and Corporate Social Responsibility
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-11-07)
Using a large sample of 3,040 U.S. firms and 16,606 firm-year observations over the 1991-2010 period, we find strong evidence that firm internationalization is positively related to the firm's corporate social responsibility ...
Structural Change in MENA Remittance Flows
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-06-05)
After independence, the GCC countries relied heavily on foreign workers from fellow Arabs countries. Thus, remittances flowed from GCC to other countries in MENA. In the 1980s-1990s labor source switched to South Asia, ...
Key Account Management and the Relationship Lifecycle: Towards a Framework for Collaboration
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-06-12)
This paper examines the strategic drivers of effective key account management (KAM) and their integration into the relationship lifecycle. Previous KAM initiatives have tended to be focused on the sellers' perspective, ...
Nonlinear Finite Element Modeling of the Load-Carrying and Energy Dissipation Capacities for Buckling-Restrained Braces
(2013-07)
Conventional concentric braces buckle under compressive loading. To overcome this limitation, the Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs) were introduced in the mid 70's which typically consist of a low-yield steel core and a ...
Removal of Lead (II) Ions from Wastewater Using Eggplant Peels
(2013-01)
In this study, three methods have been tested for the production of eggplant peel activated charcoal (EPPAC) from eggplant peel charcoal (EPPC). A new method has also been devised which does not include continuous involvement ...
Performance Evaluation of Optically Preamplified M-ary PPM Systems for Free-Space Optical Communications
(2013-06)
M-ary pulse position modulation (M-ary PPM) has been widely considered as an attractive solution for increasing the bit rates in free-space optical (FSO) communications. Besides increasing the bit rate, M-ary PPM increases ...
On weakly 2-absorbing ideals of commutative rings
(University of Houston, 2013)
Let R be a commutative ring with identity 1 not equal to 0. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a weakly 2-absorbing ideal. A proper ideal I of R is called a weakly 2-absorbing ideal of R if whenever abc is not equal ...
