Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with FRP Bars Under Long Exposure to UAE Environment
(2021-03)
Due to the large research pool of Fiber-reinforced Polymers (FRP) reinforcements, their utilization as main reinforcement in concrete structures has gained the trust of the engineering community. In fact, design codes such ...
Video Streaming over Cognitive Radio Networks
(2020-07)
The exponential increase in the demand for streaming video in wireless communication is obstructed by the problem of spectrum scarcity. In an effort to mitigate this problem, cognitive radio (CR) technology was proposed ...
AEO‑7 surfactant is “super toxic” and induces severe cardiac, liver and locomotion damage in zebrafish embryos
(Springer Open, 2020)
Background: Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether-7 (AEO-7), a non-ionic surfactant, has recently been receiving extensive attention from the ocean pipeline industry for its ability to inhibit corrosion. However, the present ...
Antibacterial Activities of Selected Pure Compounds Isolated from Gut Bacteria of Animals Living in Polluted Environments
(MDPI, 2020)
Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to public health, further accelerated by the misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals. Our recent studies have shown that gut bacteria of animals living in polluted environments ...
Freshwater budget in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf and exchanges at the Strait of Hormuz
(PLOS, 2020-05-29)
Excess evaporation within the Persian (also referred as the Arabian) Gulf induces an inverse-estuary circulation. Surface waters are imported, via the Strait of Hormuz, while saltier waters are exported in the deeper layers. ...
World Literature in the World? Kahf ’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf and the Transnational Reading Public
(BRILL, 2021)
Criticized for being too Euro- and Americentric, world literature scholarship tends to center on the American implications of this shortcoming, with little discussion of world literature beyond these centers. This paper ...
Whole Organism Model to Study Molecular Mechanisms of Differentiation and Dedifferentiation
(MDPI, 2020)
Cancer recurrence has remained a significant challenge, despite advances in therapeutic approaches. In part, this is due to our incomplete understanding of the biology of cancer stem cells and the underlying molecular ...
Scorpion and Frog Organ Lysates are Potential Source of Antitumour Activity
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP), 2020)
It is noteworthy that several animal species are known to withstand high levels of radiation, and are exposed to heavy metals but rarely been reported to develop cancer. For example, the scorpion has been used as folk ...
Rethinking the Bottom Bun: Assessing Topic Closers
(2021-05)
This study focusses on the learnability of a model for topic closers. Topic closers are the various approaches through which a paragraph can be ended. The model comprises a total of 10 topic closers, each of which is termed ...
