Few-cycle laser driven reaction nanoscopy on aerosolized silica nanoparticles
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Nanoparticles offer unique properties as photocatalysts with large surface areas. Under irradiation with light, the associated near-fields can induce, enhance, and control molecular adsorbate reactions on the nanoscale. ...
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 ...
B − L violating interactions in supersymmetric SO(10) models
(IOP Science, 2019)
An analysis is given of B − L violating interactions in SO(10) arising from the integration of $10+\bar{10}$ of SU(5) of heavy Higgs. The analysis is done within the well defined missing partner model where the doublet-triplet ...
Can High-Order Convergence of European Option Prices be Achieved with Common CRR-Type Binomial Trees?
(Springer, 2015)
Considering European call options, we prove that CRR-type binomial trees systematically underprice the value of these options, when the spot price is not near the money. However, we show that, with a volatility premium to ...
Can the Full Spectrum Fitting Technique correctly detect Age Spreads in Young Star Clusters?
(IOP Science, 2019)
Integrated spectra of star clusters have proven to be accurate tools for obtaining age, metallicity and reddening of extragalactic clusters for which resolved data is not available. In this work we investigate the possibility ...
Climbing Grammar Mountain: An Interactive Learning Experience
(United States Department of State, 2005)
This article describes a grammar game that is an enjoyable way for students to correct sentences. In Climbing Grammar Mountain, best suited for secondary and university students, learners compete in teams to "climb" a game ...
Through These Veins: Translation and Commentary
(2017-01)
This thesis investigates translation problems and strategies by carrying out an Arabic translation of a literary text taken from the novel Through These Veins, by Ann Marie Ruff, and by discussing the challenges and the ...
Translating the Discourse of Alienation: Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four and Haqqi's Saint's Lamp as Case Studies
(2012-12)
"A basic property of language is that it enables its users to formulate a mental picture of reality and to make sense of and express what goes around and inside them" (Hatim, 1997, p. 179). This research is aimed at ...
Total Damages Quantification Method for Float Allocation
(2016-07)
Construction projects involve several contracting parties such as clients, contractors, consultants and many others. These contracting parties tend to use the float of noncritical activities for their own benefits, such ...
Sustainability of Composite Columns under Repeated Load and Harsh Environment
(2013-01)
Strengthening and rehabilitation are important operations for structural building to ensure sustainability. Enhancing the performance for the structural elements against the various loads and extreme conditions is the key ...
