“What Was Meant to Be” Versus “What Might Have Been”: Effects of Culture and Control on Counterfactual Thinking
(American Psychological Association, 2021)
Counterfactual thinking is a ubiquitous feature of daily life with links to causal reasoning. Therefore, we argue that cultures that vary in perceptions of what controls important life outcomes may also vary in counterfactual ...
Novel Azoles as Antiparasitic Remedies against Brain-Eating Amoebae
(MDPI, 2020)
Balamuthia mandrillaris and Naegleria fowleri are opportunistic protozoan pathogens capable of producing infection of the central nervous system with more than 95% mortality rate. Previously, we have synthesized several ...
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 ...
Yukawa coupling unification in an SO(10) model consistent with Fermilab (g − 2) μ result
(Springer, 2021)
We investigate the Yukawa coupling unification for the third generation in a class of SO(10) unified models which are consistent with the 4.2 σ deviation from the standard model of the muon g − 2 seen by the Fermilab ...
Subtitling Swearwords from Arabic into English in Capernaum.
(2020-04)
Subtitling of swearwords is an intricate issue that subtitlers of films, shows, and other audiovisual products deal with. For Arabic, the directionality is usually from English to Arabic, but seldom vice-versa. This thesis ...
Ferromagnetic Fe-Cu Coating for Ferrous Contaminants Sensing in Aqueous Media
(2020-11)
This work investigates the development and analysis of a novel resonant sensor for ferrous contaminations in aqueous media. Resonant sensor is a class of sensors that employ a structure vibrating at resonance. Hence, the ...
Functional Connectivity Analysis under Vigilance Decrement and Enhanced Mental States
(2020-06)
This thesis proposes electroencephalogram (EEG) functional connectivity and graph theory analysis (GTA) to quantify brain activity under alertness, vigilance decrement, and enhanced mental states in four frequency bands. ...
Microgrid Operation and Control
(2021-04)
The world is moving toward renewable energy resources as a result of rising energy demand and the decline of fossil fuels. This move led to the shift of interest from the centralized conventional electric grids to decentralized ...
Metal Organic Frameworks Electrodes for Microbial Fuel Cell Applications and Hydrogen Production
(2021-11)
Microbial Fuel Cell is an innovative technology that offers production of clean electricity while treating the wastewater. One of the most important challenges affecting power generation is the overpotential losses at the ...
Strain rate effect on twip/trip high entropy alloy
(2021-07)
High Entropy Alloys (HEA) present opportunities to develop new materials with outstanding mechanical properties. Through the careful selection of constituent elements along with optimized thermal processing for proper ...
