Investigating the inclusion of online discussions to enhance students' learning in general education undergraduate classes
(Asociación Europea para la Enseñanza de Idiomas Asistida por Ordenador = European Association for Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2010-03)Discussion of class material has many educational benefits. In today's modern computerized society, these discussions no longer need to be confined to the classroom setting. This paper discusses students' reactions to the ... -
Investigation and Optimization of Mxene functionalized Mesoporous Titania Films as Efficient Photoelectrodes
(MDPI, 2021)Three-dimensional mesoporous TiO₂ scaffolds of anatase phase possess inherent eximious optical behavior that is beneficial for photoelectrodes used for solar energy conversion applications. In this regard; substantial ... -
Investigations of the Co-Pt alloy phase diagram with neutron diffuse scattering, inverse cluster variation method, and Monte Carlo simulations
(American Physical Society, 2020)The short-range order in a CoPt alloy was determined at 1203 and 1423 K using neutron diffuse scattering measurements. The effective pair interactions provided by data analysis reproduce well the experimental order-disorder ... -
Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for the recovery of phenolic compounds: effect of ionic liquids structure and process parameters
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)Water pollution is a severe and challenging issue threatening the sustainable development of human civilization. Besides other pollutants, waste fluid streams contain phenolic compounds. These have an adverse effect on the ... -
Isoniazid Conjugated Magnetic Nanoparticles Loaded with Amphotericin B as a Potent Antiamoebic Agent against Acanthamoeba castellanii
(MDPI, 2020)The pathogenic free-living amoeba, Acanthamoeba castellanii, is responsible for a rare but deadly central nervous system infection, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and a blinding eye disease called Acanthamoeba keratitis. ... -
It’s Not You, It’s Us: Relationship-Based Factors That Predict Infidelity
(Oxford University Press, 2022-07-12)Infidelity is often defined as perceived as a violation of relationship exclusivity rules, and many view infidelities as immoral. Thus, one can imagine the importance of understanding why up to a fifth of research samples ... -
Japanese Millennials and Intersex Awareness
(Springer, 2017)This paper investigates the awareness, attitudes, and opinions of Japanese millennials about intersex people. This research attempts to fill a gap in extant literature concerning the intersex in Asia via an exploratory ... -
Joshi’s Split Tree for Option Pricing
(MDPI, 2020)In a thorough study of binomial trees, Joshi introduced the split tree as a two-phase binomial tree designed to minimize oscillations, and demonstrated empirically its outstanding performance when applied to pricing American ... -
The Kumaraswamy Pareto IV Distribution
(Austrian Statistical Society, 2021)We introduce a new model named the Kumaraswamy Pareto IV distribution which extends the Pareto and Pareto IV distributions. The density function is very flexible and can be left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shapes. ... -
Lactation Defect with Impaired Secretory Activation in AEBP1-Null Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a multifunctional protein that negatively regulates the tumor suppressor PTEN and IκBα, the inhibitor of NF-κB, through protein-protein interaction, thereby promoting cell ... -
Lipophilic Metabolites and Anatomical Acclimatization of Cleome amblyocarpa in the Drought and Extra-Water Areas of the Arid Desert of UAE
(MDPI, 2019)Plants adapt to different environmental conditions by developing structural and metabolic mechanisms. In this study, anatomical features and lipophilic metabolites were investigated in Cleome amblyocarpa Barr. & Murb., ... -
Liposomal Encapsulation of Chemotherapeutics Agents Combined with the Use of Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2023-07)Ultrasound (US) has numerous uses in the medical field, including imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; another interesting application of US in cancer therapy is as an external trigger in targeted drug delivery. ... -
Lower Semicontinuity in L¹ of a Class of Functionals Defined on BV with Caratheodory Integrands
(Hindawi Limited, 2021)We prove lower semicontinuity in 𝐿¹(Ω) for a class of functionals 𝒢 :𝐵𝑉(Ω) →ℝ of the form 𝒢(𝑢)=∫Ω𝑔(𝑥, 𝛻𝑢)𝑑𝑥 + ∫Ω𝜓(𝑥)𝑑|Dˢ𝑢| where 𝑔 :Ω⨉ℝᴺ→ℝ, Ω⊂ℝᴺ is open and bounded, 𝑔(.,𝑝) ∊ 𝐿¹(Ω) for each 𝑝 satisfies ... -
