Modifying cellulose fibres with carbon dots: a promising approach for the development of antimicrobial fibres
(Royal Society, 2024-04-17)This study focuses on the development of antimicrobial fibres for use in medical and healthcare textile industries. Carbon dots (CDs) were designed with boronic acid groups for the attachment to cellulose fibres found in ... -
Moving from plagiarism police to integrity coaches: assisting novice students in understanding the relationship between research and ownership
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2021)Much of the discourse surrounding plagiarism is one of fear—a fear of being caught and punished, but many plagiarism examples happen unintentionally as students struggle with a new language, new ideas, and new communities ... -
Muslim Women's Evolving Leadership Roles: A Case Study of Women Leaders in an Immigrant Muslim Community in Post-9/11 America
(Sage, 2017)Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork in a multi-ethnic immigrant Muslim congregation in a Midwestern city in the United States, this paper scrutinizes the intricate process through which women uses traditional ... -
The n-zero-divisor graph of a commutative semigroup
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-04-16)Let S be a (multiplicative) commutative semigroup with 0, Z(S) the set of zero-divisors of S, and n a positive integer. The zero-divisor graph of S is the (simple) graph Γ(S) with vertices Z(S) ∗ = Z(S) \ {0}, and distinct ... -
A new characterization of periodic oscillations in periodic difference equations
(Elsevier, 2011-11)In this paper, we characterize periodic solutions of p-periodic difference equations. We classify the periods into multiples of p and nonmultiples of p. We show that the elements of the set of multiples of p follow the ... -
Novel algorithms for accurate DNA base-calling
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)The ability to decipher the genetic code of different species would lead to significant future scientific achievements in important areas, including medicine and agriculture. The importance of DNA sequencing necessitated ... -
Novel Azoles as Antiparasitic Remedies against Brain-Eating Amoebae
(MDPI, 2020)Balamuthia mandrillaris and Naegleria fowleri are opportunistic protozoan pathogens capable of producing infection of the central nervous system with more than 95% mortality rate. Previously, we have synthesized several ... -
Novel insights into the potential role of ion transport in sensory perception in Acanthamoeba
(Springer Nature, 2019)Background: Acanthamoeba is well known to produce a blinding keratitis and serious brain infection known as encephalitis. Effective treatment is problematic, and can continue up to a year, and even then, recurrence can ... -
A Numerical Investigation of the Buckling of Doubly Clamped Nano-Actuators Governed by an Integro-Differential Equation
(Springer, 2022)In this article, a fixed point iterative scheme involving Green's function is applied to reach a solution for the buckling of nano-actuators under nonlinear forces. Our solution is convergent. The nano-actuators problem ... -
Numerical modelling of hyperbolic phase change problems: Application to continuous casting
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Heat diffusion processes are generally modeled based on Fourier’s law to estimate how the temperature propagates inside a body. This type of modeling leads to a parabolic partial differential equation, which predicts an ... -
Objectively quantified physical activity and sedentary behaviour in a young UAE population
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021)Objectives There is a lack of public awareness of the importance of engaging in physical activity (PA) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Nearly 58% of the UAE adult population self-reports as being physically inactive ... -
On 1-absorbing primary ideals of commutative rings
(World Scientific, 2019-04-30)Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. In this paper, we introduce the concept of 1-absorbing primary ideals in commutative rings. A proper ideal I of R is called a 1-absorbing primary ideal of R if whenever ... -
On Morpho-Syntactic Levantisms in Maltese
(Institut de recherches et d’études sur les mondes arabes et musulmans (IREMAM), 2019)Maltese is usually classified as a North African Arabic variety. Yet some researchers have remarked “some curious similarities with the Eastern dialects”. Investigations of these tend to concentrate upon the phonology and ... -
On n-semiprimary ideals and n-pseudo valuation domains

On phi-Dedekind rings and phi-Krull rings
(University of Houston, 2005)The purpose of this paper is to introduce two new classes of rings that are closely related to the classes of Dedekind domains and Krull domains. Let H = {R | R is a commutative ring with 1 and Nil(R) is a divided prime ... -
On phi-Mori rings
(University of Houston, 2006)A commutative ring R is said to be a phi-ring if its nilradical Nil(R) is both prime and comparable with each principal ideal. The name is derived from the natural map phi from the total quotient ring T(R) to R localized ... -
On the dot product graph of a commutative ring II
(International Electronic Journal of Algebra, 2020)In 2015, the second-named author introduced the dot product graph associated to a commutative ring A. Let A be a commutative ring with nonzero identity, 1 ≤ n < ∞ be an integer, and R = A × A × · · · × A (n times). We ... -
On the periodic logistic equation
(Elsevier, 2006)We show that the 𝒑-periodic logistic equation 𝒳ₙ₊₁ = μₙ mod 𝒑𝒳ₙ(1 - 𝒳ₙ) has cycles (periodic solutions) of minimal periods 1; 𝒑; 2𝒑; 3𝒑; …. Then we extend Singer’s theorem to periodic difference equations, and use ... -
On the powers of quasihomogeneous Toeplitz operators
(Springer, 2021)In this article, a fixed point iterative scheme involving Green's function is applied to reach a solution for the buckling of nano-actuators under nonlinear forces. Our solution is convergent. The nano-actuators problem ...
