A new characterization of periodic oscillations in periodic difference equations
(Elsevier, 2011-11)
In this paper, we characterize periodic solutions of p-periodic difference equations. We classify the periods into multiples of p and nonmultiples of p. We show that the elements of the set of multiples of p follow the ...

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 ...
Adipocyte Enhancer-Binding Protein 1 (AEBP1) (a Novel Macrophage Proinflammatory Mediator) Overexpression Promotes and Ablation Attenuates Atherosclerosis in ApoE⁻′⁻ and LDLR⁻′⁻ Mice
(Springer Nature, 2011)
Atherogenesis is a long-term process that involves inflammatory response coupled with metabolic dysfunction. Foam cell formation and macrophage inflammatory response are two key events in atherogenesis. Adipocyte ...
Lactation Defect with Impaired Secretory Activation in AEBP1-Null Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a multifunctional protein that negatively regulates the tumor suppressor PTEN and IκBα, the inhibitor of NF-κB, through protein-protein interaction, thereby promoting cell ...
Market Efficiency of Floating Exchange Rate Systems: Some Evidence from Pacific-Asian Countries
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper examines the random walk hypothesis (RWH) and the martingale difference hypothesis (MDH) for the Australian dollar and five Asian emerging currencies relative to three benchmark currencies. We use Wright’s (2000) ...
A Density Functional Theory Study of the Cu⁺ · O₂ and Cu⁺ · N₂ Adducts
(De Gruyter, 2011)
The geometries and harmonic vibration frequencies of the Cu⁺·O₂ and Cu⁺ ·N₂ are determined by various density functional theory (DFT) methods employing different basis sets. The potential energy surfaces (PES) are examined. ...
Television Reality Shows in the Arab World
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
As much as Western-style reality television in the Middle East has gained extensive popularity among the region's audiences, it has also provoked serious ethical questions. In addressing this emerging genre, some television ...
