Environmental Management Systems in Public Sector
(Edward Elgar, 2023)This chapter focuses on environmental management systems (EMS) in public sector organisations (PSOs). Our objectives are to 1) explain what is an EMS, describe the two main EMS standards (ISO 14001 and EMAS) and how to ... -
A European option general first-order error formula
(Cambridge, 2013)We study the value of European security derivatives in the Black-Scholes model, when the underlying asset 𝛏 is approximated by random walks 𝛏(𝑛). We obtain an explicit error formula, up to a term of order 𝒪(𝑛⁻³/² ), ... -
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 ... -
Exercisability Randomization of the American Option
(Taylor & Frances Online, 2008)The valuation of American options is an optimal stopping time problem which typically leads to a free boundary problem. We introduce here the randomization of the exercisability of the option. This method considerably ... -
Existence and stability of periodic orbits of periodic difference equations with delays
(World Scientific Publishing, 2008)In this paper, we investigate the existence and stability of periodic orbits of the p-periodic difference equation with delays xₙ = f(n - 1, xₙ₋ₖ). We show that the periodic orbits of this equation depend on the periodic ... -
An Extension of Sharkovsy’s Theorem to Periodic Difference Equations
(Elsevier, 2006)We present an extension of Sharkovsky’s Theorem and its converse to periodic difference equations. In addition, we provide a simple method for constructing a p-periodic difference equation having an r-periodic geometric ... -
The effect of maps permutation on the global attractor of a periodic Beverton-Holt model
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)Consider a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn(xn) with a global attractor. How does a permutation [fσ(p−1), . . . , fσ(1), fσ(0)] of the maps affect the global attractor? In this paper, we limit this general question ... -
Faculty use of the course management system (CMS) iLearn at the American University of Sharjah
(Zayed University Press, 2013)That course management systems (CMS) are relevant to higher education is beyond question. Tertiary institutions invest significant resources in developing CMS and promoting their use by faculty members. Considerable research ... -
Few-cycle laser driven reaction nanoscopy on aerosolized silica nanoparticles
(Springer Nature, 2019)Nanoparticles offer unique properties as photocatalysts with large surface areas. Under irradiation with light, the associated near-fields can induce, enhance, and control molecular adsorbate reactions on the nanoscale. ... -
A Fluorescence-Based Chemical Sensor for Detection of Melamine in Aqueous Solutions
(MDPI, 2021)Melamine, an industrial chemical, receives wide attention nowadays because of its unethical usage as a nitrogen enhancer in protein-rich foods and dairy products. Since most of the existing melamine detection methods are ... -
Fluorescent aminal linked porous organic polymer for reversible iodine capture and sensing
(Nature, 2020)A novel triazene-anthracene-based fuorescent aminal linked porous organic polymer (TALPOP) was prepared via metal free-Schif base polycondensation reaction of 9,10-bis-(4,6-diamino-S-triazin2-yl)anthracene and 2-furaldehyde. ... -
Fluorescent Immunoassays for Detection and Quantification of Cardiac Troponin I: A Short Review
(MDPI, 2021)Cardiovascular diseases are considered one of the major causes of human death globally. Myocardial infarction (MI), characterized by a diminished flow of blood to the heart, presents the highest rate of morbidity and ... -
Folding and unfolding in periodic difference equations
(Elseiver, 2014)Given a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn mod p(xn), where each fj is a continuous interval map, j = 0, 1, . . . , p − 1, we discuss the notion of folding and unfolding related to this type of non-autonomous equations. ... -
Fractional Integrodifferentiation and Toeplitz Operators with Vertical Symbols
(Birkhäuser, 2020)We consider the so-called vertical Toeplitz operators on the weighted Bergman space over the half plane. The terminology “vertical” is motivated by the fact that if a is a symbol of such Toeplitz operator, then a(z) depends ... -

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. ... -

A Global Attractor in Some Discrete Contest Competition Models with Delay under the Effect of Periodic Stocking
(Hindawi, 2013)We consider discrete models of the form 𝒳ₙ₊₁= 𝒳ₙ𝒇(𝒳ₙ₋₁) + 𝒉ₙ , where 𝒉ₙ is a nonnegative 𝒑-periodic sequence representing stocking in the population, and investigate their dynamics. Under certain conditions on the ...
