Android mobile app for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation using leap motion controller
(IEEE, 2017)This paper introduces an android mobile App for real-time bilateral Arabic sign language translation. The system is designed to operate on isolated sign language words. The mobile App has four main components; sign language ... -
ANN Based Mechanistic Force Model for Face
(2011-06)Due to increased global competition and increased calls for environmentally benign machining processes, there has been more focus and interest in making processes more lean and agile to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions ... -
Anomaly Detection Based Framework for Profile Monitoring
(2023-05)Due to significant developments in technology, manufacturing processes are being equipped with sensors that provide continuous monitoring of the input and output process parameters. Signals observed through such sensors ... -
An ANP Approach for Selecting a Sustainable Learning Technology Intervention for Development
(2013-06)Governments in developing countries and their donors waste a significant amount of resources on non-sustainable initiatives in the name of development. Educational expenditure is no exception. For example, vast sums are ... -
Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal Activity of Xanthones Obtained via Semi-Synthetic Modification of α-Mangostin from Garcinia mangostana
(MDPI, 2017)The microbial contamination in food packaging has been a major concern that has paved the way to search for novel, natural anti-microbial agents, such as modified α-mangostin. In the present study, twelve synthetic analogs ... -
Anti-bacterial self-assembled nanotubes of cyclic d, l-alpha-peptides
(AIP Publishing, 2007)Cyclic D, L‐α‐peptides can be designed to spontaneously partition into lipid and cell membranes where they self‐assemble into membrane‐permeating nanotubes and result in disruption of membrane potentials leading to rapid ... -
Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2017)Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the body and is considered as one of the major causes of death globally. There are several cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents used to treat cancer including methotrexate, ... -
Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Using Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Ultrasound.
(2016-05)Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Although billions of dollars have been spent on cancer research to develop its treatments, cancer still remains a major illness for mankind, partly due to the ... -
Antiamoebic activity of plant‑based natural products and their conjugated silver nanoparticles against Acanthamoeba castellanii (ATCC 50492)
(Springer, 2020)Acanthamoeba spp. are the causative agent of Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). The current options to treat Acanthamoeba infections have limited success. Silver nanoparticles show ... -
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 ... -
Anticipated Discrimination, Choices, and Performance: Experimental evidence
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)This paper studies experimentally anticipated discrimination across gender, hiring patterns, and performance in tasks with different stereotypes in a labor-market setting. Participants are assigned to a seven-people group ... -
Antitumour Activities of Selected Pure Compounds Identified from the Serum of Crocodylus porosus, Malayopython reticulatus, Varanus salvator and Cuora kamaroma amboinensis
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2021)Objectives: Here we determined antitumour effects of purified compounds such as Valdecoxib, Rofecoxib, L-Methionine and Artocarpin against cancer cell lines. Methods: Using purified compounds, assays were performed to ... -
Applicability of heavy-metal phytoextraction in United Arab Emirates: an investigation of candidate species
(2014-01)Phytoremediation of contaminated calcareous desert land in the United Arab Emirates has been investigated. Soils from 12 northern UAE sites, suspected of metal contamination, were acid-extracted and analyzed by ICP-OES for ... -
The Applicability of Just in Time in UAE Construction Projects
(Scholarlink Research Institute, 2015-04)Material procurement in construction sites plays an important role in the life-cycle of construction projects. If it is not managed appropriately, it could trigger dramatic financial losses to the contractor as well as ... -
Application of carbon nano-materials in desalination processes
(2013-01)Scarcity of freshwater resources increases the importance of seawater and brackish water desalination processes. However, still, large amount of specific energy requirement, leading to high operational costs, presents a ... -
Application of eggplant peels powder for the removal of oil from produced water
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The removal efficiency of oil from simulated samples of produced water (SPW) was studied using a low-cost adsorbent eggplant peel powder (EPP). The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature on the ... -
Application of Quasi-Phase Matching Concept for Enhancement of High-Order Harmonics of Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Plasmas
(MDPI, 2019)Novel methods of coherent short-wavelength sources generation require thorough analysis for their further amendments and practical implementations. In this work, we report on the quasi-phase matching (QPM) of high-order ... -
Application of Solar Tower Technology in Electricity Production in UAE
(2016-11)Worldwide energy consumption is on a constant climb due to the fact of our reliance on electricity for almost everything as well as the increase in global population. In 2010, 100% of UAE's electricity demand was fulfilled ... -
