Graph of Linear Transformations Over R
(Springer, 2022-12-01)In this paper, we study a connection between graph theory and linear transformations of finite dimensional vector spaces over R (the set of all real numbers). Let Rm, Rn be finite vector spaces over R, and let L be the set ... -
Green Synthesis of Encapsulated Copper Nanoparticles Using a Hydroalcoholic Extract of Moringa oleifera Leaves and Assessment of Their Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities
(MDPI, 2020)The synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts is a very promising method in green synthesis. The medicinal value of Moringa oleifera leaves and the antimicrobial activity of metallic copper were combined in the ... -
Guatemalan Teenagers’ Hopes and Dreams: A Qualitative Study of Drawings and Characteristics of Future Selves
(Hogrefe, 2022)Utilizing adolescents' drawings in order to investigate their perceptions of self has a long history in psychology. The methodological approach is particularly useful in places, such as Guatemala, where the population may ... -
Gut bacteria of Cuora amboinensis (turtle) produce broad-spectrum antibacterial molecules
(Nature Research, 2019)Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to human health, hence there is an urgent need to discover antibacterial molecule(s). Previously, we hypothesized that microbial gut flora of animals are a potential source of ... -
Gut Bacteria of Water Monitor Lizard (Varanus salvator) Are a Potential Source of Antibacterial Compound(s)
(MDPI, 2019)For the past few decades, there has been limited progress in the development of novel antibacterials. Previously, we postulated that the gut microbiota of animals residing in polluted environments are a forthcoming supply ... -
Harmful, Helpful, or Both? A Commentary on Postmodernism and Critical Theories in Community Development Education
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)In this relatively informal commentary, I discuss both the potentially helpful and harmful roles that postmodernism and critical theories (e.g., critical race theory, critical sexuality theory) have in academia in general ... -
Harvesting and stocking in discrete-time contest competition models with open problems and conjectures
(Palestine Polytechnic University, 2016)In this survey, we present a class of first and second-order difference equations representing general form of discrete models arising from single-species with contest competition. Then, we consider various harvesting/stocking ... -
HBN Nanoparticle-Assisted Rapid Thermal Cycling for the Detection of Acanthamoeba
(MDPI, 2020)Acanthamoeba are widely distributed in the environment and are known to cause blinding keratitis and brain infections with greater than 90% mortality rate. Currently, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive ... -
Health benefits of sesamin on cardiovascular disease and its associated risk factors
(Elsevier, 2020)Sesamin, a major lignin isolated from sesame (Sesamum indicum) seeds and sesame oil, is known to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Several studies have revealed that oxidative stress and inflammation ... -

Helping students take control of their learning through the use of focused weekly review sheets
(TESOLANZ, 2001)This paper reports on work done with students enrolled in a Level 4 Certificate of Attainment in English (CAEL) class at the University of Waikato Language Institute in Auckland. The original purpose was to help raise the ... -
Heterometrus spinifer: An Untapped Source of Anti-Tumor Molecules
(MDPI, 2020)Despite intensive research, cancer incidence and mortality continue to rise. Consequently, the necessity to develop effective anti-cancer therapy is apparent. We have recently shown that the gut bacteria of animals living ... -
Highly variable upper and abyssal overturning cells in the South Atlantic
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-08-05)The Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is a primary mechanism driving oceanic heat redistribution on Earth, thereby affecting Earth's climate and weather. However, the full-depth structure and variability of the MOC ... -

Hyper-Consumption to Circular Economy in the United Arab Emirates: Discarding the Disposable and Cherishing the Valuable
(ARMG Publishing, 2020-10-05)Overconsumption of resources and consumer items is an important driver for environmental degradation and climate change. Malls, shopping, and conspicuous consumption are deeply ingrained in the local values and the global ... -
Immunomodulatory and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Berberine in Lung Tissue and its Potential Application in Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19
(IMR Press, 2022)Natural products with known safety profiles are a promising source for the discovery of new drug leads. Berberine presents an example of one such phytochemical that has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory ... -
The impact of constant effort harvesting on the dynamics of a discrete-time contest competition model
(Wiley, 2017)In this paper, we study a general discrete–time model representing the dynamics of a contest competition species with constant effort exploitation. In particular, we consider the difference equation xn+1 = xnf(xn−k) − hxn ... -
The Importance of Protecting Cultural Capital in Community Development
(2022-07)Community development, which aims to increase the agency and solidarity of community members in order to improve the well-being of communities as a whole as a well as the individual members of those communities. Community ...
