Insights into Faculty-Librarian Collaborations around the Framework Findings from the 2018 Co-design Survey
(Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL), 2020)
Since the 1980s, assessment has been one of the most frequently investigated topics in library and information science literature, seen by librarians as a valid tool for analyzing the effectiveness and impact of teaching. ...
Firm Growth and Political Institutions
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-11-06)
Using a large sample of 115,534 firm-year observations from 46 countries over the period 1992 to 2007, we investigate the impact of political institutions on firms' growth. We find that high levels of political constraint ...
Governance and Short Sales
(American University of Sharjah, 2015)
This paper investigates the relationship between short sales and governance. We argue that short sales are reversely linked to the overall level of corporate governance of a firm and that sellers react contemporaneously ...
R&D Productivity following First-Time CIO Appointments
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-06-09)
Prior studies find that firms announcing the appointment of a new chief information officer (CIO) are rewarded by stock price increases, suggesting that the market expects new CIOs to add long-term value to the firm. In ...

La structure du chapitre. Ce chapitre se compose de trois parties. Dans les deux premières, nous étudions en détail, respectivement, les méthodes de recrutement et de sélection à l’international ainsi que les variations ...
The use of ultrasound to release chemotherapeutic drugs from micelles and liposomes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Several drug delivery systems have been investigated to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy by encapsulating the therapeutic agent in a nanosized carrier until it reaches the tumor site. Many of these particles are ...
Multilayer Transcoding with format portability for multicasting of single-layered video
(IEEE, 2005)
This paper proposes a novel multilayer video transcoding approach for multicasting pre-encoded video to heterogeneous end-systems via diverse grouping of networks. Multilayer transcoding is first addressed by means of ...
Preliminary Modeling of Transfer RNA Kinetics in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) can recognize a specific amino acid from a possible pool of 20. Theyare able to transport these protein building-blocks to the ribosome, the site where amino acids assemble into protein chains. Accurate ...
Possible Physical Mechanisms of tRNA Pre-Selection in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli Bacteria
(American Scientific Publishers, 2010)
In a previous publication, we used kinetic models to simulate the physical movement ofthe transfer RNA (tRNA) in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli and concluded that tRNA molecules are not able to approach the ribosome by ...
Strengthening of thin reinforced concrete slabs with CFRP laminates
(International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures, 2016)
Over the years, engineers and researchers have been working continuously to reduce the dead loads on buildings by reducing the sizes of structural elements. Slabs add significant dead load to buildings compared to other ...
