Analytical study and parameter-sensitivity analysis of catalytic current at a rotating disk electrode
(IOP Publishing, 2020)A convective-diffusion equation with semi-infinite boundary conditions for rotating disk electrodes under the hydrodynamic conditions is discussed and analytically solved for electrochemical catalytic reactions. The ... -
Anti-Bacterial and Anti-Fungal Activity of Xanthones Obtained via Semi-Synthetic Modification of α-Mangostin from Garcinia mangostana
(MDPI, 2017)The microbial contamination in food packaging has been a major concern that has paved the way to search for novel, natural anti-microbial agents, such as modified α-mangostin. In the present study, twelve synthetic analogs ... -
Anti-bacterial self-assembled nanotubes of cyclic d, l-alpha-peptides
(AIP Publishing, 2007)Cyclic D, L‐α‐peptides can be designed to spontaneously partition into lipid and cell membranes where they self‐assemble into membrane‐permeating nanotubes and result in disruption of membrane potentials leading to rapid ... -
Antiamoebic activity of plant‑based natural products and their conjugated silver nanoparticles against Acanthamoeba castellanii (ATCC 50492)
(Springer, 2020)Acanthamoeba spp. are the causative agent of Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). The current options to treat Acanthamoeba infections have limited success. Silver nanoparticles show ... -
Antibacterial Activities of Selected Pure Compounds Isolated from Gut Bacteria of Animals Living in Polluted Environments
(MDPI, 2020)Antibiotic resistance is a global threat to public health, further accelerated by the misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals. Our recent studies have shown that gut bacteria of animals living in polluted environments ... -
Antitumour Activities of Selected Pure Compounds Identified from the Serum of Crocodylus porosus, Malayopython reticulatus, Varanus salvator and Cuora kamaroma amboinensis
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2021)Objectives: Here we determined antitumour effects of purified compounds such as Valdecoxib, Rofecoxib, L-Methionine and Artocarpin against cancer cell lines. Methods: Using purified compounds, assays were performed to ... -
Application of Quasi-Phase Matching Concept for Enhancement of High-Order Harmonics of Ultrashort Laser Pulses in Plasmas
(MDPI, 2019)Novel methods of coherent short-wavelength sources generation require thorough analysis for their further amendments and practical implementations. In this work, we report on the quasi-phase matching (QPM) of high-order ... -
Applying Thematic Analysis to Psychological Cultural Research
(2022-07)In this workshop, students will be asked to bring qualitative data that they have collected for one of their own research projects. We will read and discuss Braun and Clarke’s (2006) classic article, Using Thematic Analysis ... -
ARA-besque: Department of Arabic & Translation Studies Newsletter (Fall 2022, Issue 01, English Edition)
(2022)"The Department of Arabic and Translation studies is proud to introduce the first issue of its newsletter, Arabesque, which is meant to cover relevant news about its faculty. courses. scholarship activities and much more. ... -
Assessing test suites of extended finite state machines against model and code based faults
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021)Tests can be derived from extended finite state machine (EFSM) specifications considering the coverage of single-transfer faults, all transitions using a transition tour, all-uses, edge-pair, and prime path with side trip. ... -
Assessment of the Environmental Status of the Mangrove Ecosystem in the United Arab Emirates
(MDPI, 2020)In the Arabian Gulf, mangroves play a particularly important role in maintaining biodiversity. Water and intertidal sediments were collected from eight sampling locations in April 2017 to assess the environmental status ... -
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 ... -
Baal and Thoth: Unwelcome Apparitions in J. M. Coetzee’s The Master of Petersburg and Disgrace

Basin of Attraction through Invariant Curves and Dominant Functions
(Hindawi, 2015)We study a second-order difference equation of the form 𝑧ₙ₊₁= 𝑧ₙ𝐹(𝑧ₙ₋₁) + ℎ, where both 𝐹(𝑧) and 𝑧𝐹(𝑧) are decreasing. We consider a set of invariant curves at ℎ = 1 and use it to characterize the behaviour of ... -
Becomings in J. M. Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians and José Saramago's Blindness

The Beverton–Holt model with periodic and conditional harvesting
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2009)In this theoretical study, we investigate the effect of different harvesting strategies on the discrete Beverton–Holt model in a deterministic environment. In particular, we make a comparison between the constant, periodic ... -
Bibles and Bathrooms: Intersex Variation Awareness Among College-Aged American Christians
(Sage, 2022)The extant literature concerning the existence and experience of the LGBTQIA+ community in the United States sometimes overshadows that of people with intersex variations (Jones, 2018). While many people with intersex ... -
Bioluminescence Imaging Applications in Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
(IEEE, 2020)Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), an optical preclinical imaging modality, is an invaluable imaging modality due to its low-cost, high throughput, fast acquisition times, and functional imaging capabilities. BLI is being ...
