Ramsey numbers of partial order graphs (comparability graphs) and implications in ring theory
(De Gruyter, 2020)For a partially ordered set(A, ≤), letGA be the simple, undirected graph with vertex set A such that two vertices a ≠ ∈ b A are adjacent if either a ≤ b or b a ≤ . We call GA the partial order graph or comparability graph ... -
Recent Advances in Femtosecond Laser-Induced Surface Structuring for Oil–Water Separation
(MDPI, 2019)Femtosecond (FS) laser-induced surface structuring is a robust, maskless, non-contact, and single-step process for producing micro- and nanoscale structures on a material’s surface, which remarkably alters the optical, ... -
Recent advances on the anti-cancer properties of Nigella sativa, a widely used food additive
(Elsevier, 2016)The use of naturally-occurring agents to regulate tumorigenesis is on the rise. Several herbal extracts, pure plant-derived active constituents, and food additives have been reported to possess potent anti-cancer properties ... -
Redox-Responsive Drug Delivery Systems: A Chemical Perspective
(MDPI, 2022)With the widespread global impact of cancer on humans and the extensive side effects associated with current cancer treatments, a novel, effective, and safe treatment is needed. Redoxresponsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) ... -
Refinancing the Rentier State: Welfare, Inequality, and Citizen Preferences toward Fiscal Reform in the Gulf Oil Monarchies
(City University of New York, 2019)Middle East oil producers are today pursuing profound transformations of their rentier economies, including through new taxes and reductions in state spending and welfare subsidies that have supported citizens for generations. ... -
Regulation of I𝜅B𝛼 Function and NF-𝜅B Signaling: AEBP1 Is a Novel Proinflammatory Mediator in Macrophages
(Hindawi, 2010)NF-𝜅B comprises a family of transcription factors that are critically involved in various inflammatory processes. In this paper, the role of NF-𝜅B in inflammation and atherosclerosis and the regulation of the NF-𝜅B ... -
The relative effects of isolated and combined structures input and structured output on the acquisition of the English causative forms
(De Gruyter, 2017)The present study explores the effects of structured input and structured output when delivered in isolation or in combination on the acquisition of the English causative. Research investigating the effects of processing ... -
Renormalization functions of the tricritical O(N)-symmetric Φ⁶ model beyond the next-to-leading order in 1/N
(IOP Publishing, 2021)We investigate higher-order corrections to the effective potential of the tricritical O(N)-symmetric Φ⁶ model in 3-2ε dimensions in its phase exhibiting spontaneous breaking of its scale symmetry. The renormalization group ... -

A Roadmap for Policy-Relevant Sea-Level Rise Research in the United Arab Emirates
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a long-term policy horizon, the financial capital, and a vision for a sustainable knowledge-based economy. These characteristics uniquely situate it as a potential leader for sea-level ... -
A robust method to retrieve option implied risk neutral densities for defaultable assets
(Inderscience Publishers, 2016)Risk neutral densities recovered from option prices can be used to infer market participants' expectations of future stock returns and are a vital tool for pricing illiquid exotic options. Although there is a broad literature ... -
The Role of AEBP1 in Sex-Specific Diet-Induced Obesity
(Springer Nature, 2005)Obesity is an important risk factor for heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, but the molecular basis for obesity is poorly understood. The transcriptional repressor AEBP₁, which functions as a negative regulator ... -
The role of vigilance on a discrete-time predator-prey model
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022)The change of behaviors of prey in the form of vigilance significantly affects the dynamics of a predator-prey system. In this paper, we consider a discrete-time predator-prey model, where the vigilance of prey acts as a ... -
Saving Which Children How? The Importance of Cultural Capital in Youth-Focused International Aid and Development
(Routledge, 2022)This review discusses the book Saving the Children: Humanitarianism, Internationalism, and Empire by Emily Baughan. In the book, Baughan documents and discusses the first 100 years of the Save the Children Fund, which was ... -
Scale-Up of Self-Regenerating Semi-Batch Adsorption Cycles through Concurrent Adsorption and Reduction of Cr(VI) on Sheep Wool
(MDPI, 2020)A previous publication by our group reported that adsorption of Cr(VI) on sheep wool reached 99% when allowed a long residence time, with concurrent reduction to Cr(III). In this study, the process was scaled up by optimizing ... -
Scorpion and Frog Organ Lysates are Potential Source of Antitumour Activity
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP), 2020)It is noteworthy that several animal species are known to withstand high levels of radiation, and are exposed to heavy metals but rarely been reported to develop cancer. For example, the scorpion has been used as folk ... -
Seasonal Variability of Retroflection Structures and Transports in the Atlantic Ocean as Inferred from Satellite-Derived Salinity Maps
(MDPI, 2019)Three of the world’s most energetic regions are in the tropical and South Atlantic: the North Brazil Current Retroflection, the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence, and the Agulhas Current Retroflection. All three regions display ... -
Sesamum indicum (sesame) enhances NK anti-cancer activity, modulates Th1/Th2 balance, and suppresses macrophage inflammatory response
