Has the Financial Crisis had an Adverse Effect on Bank Competition?
(American University of Sharjah, 2015-01-25)
This article investigates whether the recent financial crisis has had any adverse impact on bank competition for 24 emerging and 25 advanced countries with large and small-size banks over the sample period 2001-2010. The ...
Integration des expatries dans leur nouveau poste : une analyse contingente et quantitative
(Presses HEC, 1997)
L’expatriation est une forme particulière de transfert (Feldman et Thompson, 1992; Carter, 1989). Plusieurs études (Hall, 1990; d’Iribarne, 1989) montrent que les différences inter-culturelles peuvent avoir des implications ...
The lived experiences of foreign women: Influences on their international working lives
(Wiley, 2017)
We explored the lived experiences of foreign-born women to discover influences on their international working lives. Life history narratives were collected in interviews with a sample group of participants (#12) in the ...
The impact of expatriate's home country culture on their time to proficiency : empirical evidence from the Indian context
(Tennessee State University College of Business, 2016)
The time required by expatriates to become proficient in their new positions is important to both employers and employees. The existing literature on expatriate success is largely blind to what may be significant factors ...
Strategic Human Resource Management of International Assignments
(Elsevier, 2007)
Throughout this chapter, we have studied five topics related to international HRM. First, we have examined the four major approaches to staffing foreign operations: ethnocentric, polycentric, geocentric, and regiocentric. ...
Carbohydrate-Functionalized Liposomes In Cancer Therapy
(Bentham Science, 2020)
Existing cancer treatments are often accompanied by adverse side effects that can greatly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients; this sets the platform for the development and application of nanocarrier-based ...
Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Delivery in Cancer Therapy: A Review
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)
The use of ultrasound as a medical diagnostic tool began in the 1940s. Ever since, the medical applications of ultrasound have included imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; however, an ever-increasing body of literature ...
Ultrasound-induced doxorubicin release from folate-targeted and non-targeted P105 micelles: a modeling study
(De Gruyter, 2016)
The aim of this work is to study the kinetics of ultrasound (70 kHz) – using a kinetic model that takes into account cavitation events and drug re-encapsulation upon the cessation of the acoustic field. The simulation ...
Identification of the Uncertainty Structure to Estimate the Acoustic Release of Chemotherapeutics From Polymeric Micelles
(IEEE, 2017)
This paper estimates the acoustic drug release from micelles after accurately identifying the underlying statistical noise characteristics in experimental data. The drug release is measured as a change in fluorescence as ...
Investigating the Release Mechanism of Calcein from eLiposomes at Higher Temperatures
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014)
Numerous nanocarriers are currently being investigated as drug delivery vehicles for transporting chemotherapeutics to cancer cells. Our research group has recently synthesized a new generation of echogenic liposomes based ...
