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 ... -
The ‘green’ start-up: environmental commitment and its impact on start-up success
(2022-12)This thesis analyzes the impact of environmental commitment and industry greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of start-ups on start-up success. I study environmental commitment along with GHG emission and funding data for 911 ... -
Grey: A New Shade of Green
(2015-02-01)In this project, we have designed and created a system that can re-use grey water that is being wasted in buildings, which will be effective in countries such as United Arab Emirates due to their high water consumption. ... -
Ground Penetrating Radar Technique for Bridge Deck Inspection
(2013-07)The rapid growth of infrastructure in the UAE has caused a proportional growth in the transportation system. Bridges are among the major elements in the transportation system that requires continuous monitoring and maintenance ... -
Groundnut spread likability, sensory properties, and intent to pay for quality certification
(Swedish Nutrition Foundation, 2020)Quality-certified, nutritious novel groundnut spread has great commercialization possibilities due to evolving urban lifestyles in Africa, but lack of information about likability, sensory attributes, and consumer safety ... -
Growth of 2,2-Biimidazole-Based Nanorods on Mica Substrate
(Hindawi, 2010)The synthesis of a one-dimensional single-stranded helix using the crystallization of silver (I) nitrate and 2,2-biimidazole has promising potential for use in the area of nanotechnology mainly because of its unique ... -
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 ... -
Guidance, Control and Trajectory Tracking of Small Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's)
(2009-04)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) have gained increasing considerations due to their low cost and increased autonomy. A large number of applications in the military and civilian fields. The present work considers a low level ... -
Guided Reading for Second Language Learning in Bahrain: Is it Worth it
(2010-05)Much research has shown that Extensive Reading (ER) is beneficial for second language learning. It helps in building up the four language skills, and in developing positive attitudes and motivation to learn the language. ... -
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 ... -
H.264/AVC Motion Vector Concealment Solutions Using Online and Offline Polynomial Regression
(Springer, 2015)This paper introduces two polynomial regression solutions for error concealment by predicting the values of motion vectors of lost macroblocks. The two solutions are online and offline polynomial regression modeling. In ... -
H.264/AVC to HEVC Video Transcoder Based on Dynamic Thresholding and Content Modeling
(IEEE, 2014)The new video coding standard, HEVC, was developed to succeed the current standard, H.264/AVC, as the state of the art in video compression. However, there is a lot of legacy content encoded with H.264/AVC. This paper ... -
Habitat Complexity Influences the Microhabitat Choices of Desert Beetles
(2011)We present a model for prey survivorship varying with average space size/prey width (Sp/Py) and total cover within an area (Ct/At), which are habitat complexity indices. The model predicts that prey survivorship is maximized ... -
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 ... -
Harmonic-Based Overcurrent Scheme for Optimal Protection Coordination of Islanded Microgrids
(2022-12)Protection of microgrids dominated by inverter-based distributed generators (IBDGs) is challenging as these IBDGs are characterized by their low contribution to fault currents. Therefore, their fault currents can be confused ... -
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 ... -
Harvesting Energy From Footsteps
(2014-07-22)The UAE is currently undergoing industrialization which increases demand for energy and thus increases the usage of fossil fuels to cover this increasing demand for energy. Fossil fuels are limited and gradually depleting, ... -
Harvesting Wind and Solar Energy for Off-Grid Applications in the UAE
(2014-01-05)There is a shortage of electricity in remote areas in the UAE which are away from the grid. Many people in remote locations are relying on diesel generators to meet their power demands. Extending the national electricity ... -
