The Dehortative in the Spoken Arabics of the Eastern Mediterranean
(University of Bucharest, 2016)A few authors mention a hortative mood in Arabic, formed in a variety of manners, usually involving a pre-verbal element and an unmarked imperfective verb, sometimes thought of as the jussive or subjunctive. Not an imperative, ... -
A Density Functional Theory Study of the Cu⁺ · O₂ and Cu⁺ · N₂ Adducts
(De Gruyter, 2011)The geometries and harmonic vibration frequencies of the Cu⁺·O₂ and Cu⁺ ·N₂ are determined by various density functional theory (DFT) methods employing different basis sets. The potential energy surfaces (PES) are examined. ... -
Detailed Chemical Abundances of Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
(American Astronomical Society, 2022)We derive the first detailed chemical abundances of three star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), NGC 1831 (436 ± 22 Myr), NGC 1856 (350 ± 18 Myr), and [SL63]268 (1230 ± 62 Myr) using integrated-light spectroscopic ... -
Development and Characterization of Novel Composite and Flexible Electrode Based on Titanium Dioxide
(IEEE, 2020-06-11)Flexible implantable bioelectrodes have the potential to advance neural sensing and muscle stimulation, especially in peripheral nerve injuries. In such cases, the application of electrical stimulation to muscles prevents ... -
Development of Liposome-Based Immunoassay for the Detection of Cardiac Troponin I
(MDPI, 2021)Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the foremost causes of mortality in intensive care units worldwide. The development of a rapid method to quantify cardiac troponin I (cTnI)—the goldstandard biomarker of myocardial ... -
The Discrete Beverton-Holt Model with Periodic Harvesting in a Periodically Fluctuating Environment
(Springer, 2010)We investigate the effect of constant and periodic harvesting on the Beverton-Holt model in a periodically fluctuating environment. We show that in a periodically fluctuating environment, periodic harvesting gives a better ... -
Drivers and challenges for implementing ISO 14001 environmental management systems in an emerging Gulf Arab country
(Springer, 2017-11-13)Worldwide, ISO 14001 certification for organizations has become the norm, but the Arab world accounts for an insignificant portion of all the certified organizations. There is a dearth of research on environmental management ... -
Drivers, Challenges and Outcomes of Environmental Management System Implementation in Public Sector Organizations: A Systematic Review of Empirical Evidence
(MDPI, 2023-04-28)Our research objectives were to conduct a systematic literature review of the empirical articles on the drivers, challenges and outcomes of environmental management system (EMS) implementation in public sector organizations ... -
Drug Discovery against Acanthamoeba Infections: Present Knowledge and Unmet Needs
(MDPI, 2020)Although major strides have been made in developing and testing various anti-acanthamoebic drugs, recurrent infections, inadequate treatment outcomes, health complications, and side effects associated with the use of ... -
Dynamic properties of language anxiety
(Adam Mickiewicz University, 2020)This article begins by examining previous empirical studies to demonstrate that language anxiety, or the negative emotional reaction learners experience when using a second language (MacIntyre & Gardner, 1999), is a dynamic ... -
The dynamics of some discrete models with delay under the effect of constant yield harvesting
(Elsevier, 2013)In this paper, we study the dynamics of population models of the form xn+1 = xnf(xn−1) under the effect of constant yield harvesting. Results concerning stability, boundedness, persistence and oscillations of solutions are ... -
Effect of pH, ultrasound frequency and power density on the release of calcein from stealth liposomes
(De Gruyter, 2016)The use of liposomes as carriers for chemotherapeutic agents in combination with ultrasound as a stimulus to control the time and space of the drug release is a promising approach for cancer treatment, as it can reduce the ... -
Effects of mechano-electrical feedback on the onset of alternans: A computational study
(AIP, 2019-06)Cardiac alternans is a heart rhythm instability that is associated with cardiac arrhythmias and may lead to sudden cardiac death. The onset of this instability, which is linked to period-doubling bifurcation and may be a ... -
Effects of Shape and Size of Cobalt Phosphate Nanoparticles against Acanthamoeba castellanii
(MDPI, 2019)T4 genotype Acanthamoeba are opportunistic pathogens that cause two types of infections, including vision-threatening Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) and a fatal brain infection known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis ... -
Efficiency of parallel anisotropic mesh adaptation for the solution of the bidomain model in cardiac tissue
(Elsevier, 2022-04)Electrocardiology models are nonlinear reaction–diffusion type systems, where the numerical simulation requires extremely fine meshes to accurately compute the heart’s electrical activity. Anisotropic mesh adaptation methods ... -
Efficiency of semi-implicit alternating direction implicit methods for solving cardiac monodomain model
(Elsevier, 2021-01)It is well known that numerical simulations of the cardiac monodomain model require fine mesh resolution, which increases the computational resources required. In this paper, we construct three operator-splitting alternating ... -
Efficient and simple protocol employing borohydride systems to design a selective osthol-zirconium (OST-Zr) library from potential natural products
(PKP, 2016)“Drug likeness” of a molecule is the prime criterion for a molecule to exhibit the desired pharmaceutical activity. A pharmacophore, which describes molecular features that are necessary for molecular recognition of a ... -
Embedding and global stability in periodic 2-dimensional maps of mixed monotonicity
(Elsevier, 2022-02)In this paper, we consider nonautonomous second order difference equations of the form xn+1 = F(n, xn, xn−1), where F is p-periodic in its first component, non-decreasing in its second component and non-increasing in its ... -
Emerging Pedagogies in the Middle East: Enhancing Student Autonomy Using Weblogs (Blogs)
(The University of Buckingham Press, 2008)Students in the Middle East have typically been taught English following traditional, rote learning methods. There has been little time, or little room, within the set curriculum for teachers to enrich their students’ ... -
