Path Independence of Exotic Options and Convergence of Binomial Approximations
(Infopro Digital Risk (IP), 2019)The analysis of the convergence of tree methods for pricing barrier and lookback options has been the subject of numerous publications aiming at describing, quantifying, and improving the slow and oscillatory convergence ... -
Perceiving Emotions, Facilitating Thought, and Promoting Growth: Using Emotional Intelligence as an Effective Teaching Technique in the Freshman Composition Classroom
(Common Ground Publishing, 2016-06)One of the key issues in teaching writing to students in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is that they come from diverse high school contexts. Some students have never been formally taught in English, and ... -
Perceptions of Emotional Functionality: Similarities and Differences Among Dignity, Face, and Honor Cultures
(Sage, 2021)Emotions are linked to wide sets of action tendencies, and it can be difficult to predict which specific action tendency will be motivated or indulged in response to individual experiences of emotion. Building on a functional ... -
Periodic Orbits in Periodic Discrete Dynamics
(Elsevier, 2008)We study the combinatorial structure of periodic orbits of nonautonomous difference equations 𝒳ₙ₊₁ = 𝒇ₙ(𝒳ₙ) in a periodically fluctuating environment. We define the Ӷ-set to be the set of minimal periods that are not ... -
Pharmacognostic evaluation of Terminalia chebula standard extracts and finished products
(ResearchGate, 2019)The different commercial samples of Terminalia chebula (T. chebula) standard extracts and finished products were taken for elemental analysis studies and were evaluated by ICP-OES and compared with standard reference data. ... -
The Photocatalytic Degradation of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin in the Presence of Silver–Titanium Based Catalysts
(MDPI, 2020)Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) are persistent toxic compounds that are ubiquitous in the environment. The photodegradation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in the presence of silver titanium oxide ... -
Physicochemical Characterization and Seasonal Variations of PM10 Aerosols in a Harsh Environment
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)We have conducted a comprehensive sampling campaign of PM₁₀ pollutants at a site next to a major highway, using standard protocols. Particulate matter (PM) total mass, elemental and chemical/mineral compositions of the ... -
PIRATA: A Sustained Observing System for Tropical Atlantic Climate Research and Forecasting
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2019)Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) is a multinational program initiated in 1997 in the tropical Atlantic to improve our understanding and ability to predict ocean‐atmosphere variability. ... -
Potential immunomodulatory role of sesamin in combating immune dysregulation associated with COVID-19
(Medknow Publications, 2021)The ongoing outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused an unprecedented global health crisis. Development of a cure for this ... -
PPARγ1 and LXRα face a new regulator of macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and inflammatory responsiveness, AEBP1
(Sage, 2010)Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ1 (PPARγ1) and liver X receptor α (LXRα) are nuclear receptors that play pivotal roles in macrophage cholesterol homeostasis and inflammation; key biological processes in ... -
Preparation and characterization of gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes supplemented with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose polymers for wound dressing
(PKP, 2016)Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate gatifloxacin-loaded sodium alginate hydrogel membranes, supplemented with glycerol (a plasticizer), glutaraldehyde (a cross-linking agent), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ... -
A Procedural Analysis of kadhalik in Modern Standard Arabic: Demonstrative or Discourse Marker?
(Emerald, 2011)The objective of this chapter is to apply a procedural analysis to the demonstrative form kadhalik in Modern Standard Arabic. It is argued that the form kadhalik can function either as a demonstrative or as a discourse ... -
A projection scheme for phase change problems with convection
(Elseiver, 2022-01)Numerical modeling of phase change problems with convection is known to be computationally expensive. The main challenge comes from the coupling between Navier–Stokes and heat energy equations. In this paper, we develop a ... -
Pushing against a future dark side for community development: An editorial call to action
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)Community Development as a journal has undergone streamlining, yet much work remains to improve the journal’s relations with its many stakeholders around the world and within the field of community development. Community ... -
Ramsey numbers of partial order graphs (comparability graphs) and implications in ring theory
(De Gruyter, 2020)For a partially ordered set(A, ≤), letGA be the simple, undirected graph with vertex set A such that two vertices a ≠ ∈ b A are adjacent if either a ≤ b or b a ≤ . We call GA the partial order graph or comparability graph ... -
