Adapting to transnational education: students’ experiences at an American university in the UAE
(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2021)Purpose – Despite the increasing number of transnational universities around the world, little attention has been paid to students who attend foreign universities in their own countries and their adjustment to the new ... -
Adipocyte Enhancer-Binding Protein 1 (AEBP1) (a Novel Macrophage Proinflammatory Mediator) Overexpression Promotes and Ablation Attenuates Atherosclerosis in ApoE⁻′⁻ and LDLR⁻′⁻ Mice
(Springer Nature, 2011)Atherogenesis is a long-term process that involves inflammatory response coupled with metabolic dysfunction. Foam cell formation and macrophage inflammatory response are two key events in atherogenesis. Adipocyte ... -
Adipocyte Enhancer-binding Protein-1 Promotes Macrophage Inflammatory Responsiveness by Up-Regulating NF-κB via IκBα Negative Regulation
(The American Society for Cell Biology, 2007)Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) subunits comprise a family of eukaryotic transcription factors that are critically involved in cell proliferation, inflammation, and apoptosis. Under basal conditions, NF-κB subunits are kept under ... -
Adsorption potentials of iron-based metal–organic framework for methyl orange removal: batch and fixed-bed column studies
(Springer, 2021-01)In the present work, continuous fixed-bed column and batch studies were undertaken to investigate the efficiency of iron-based metal–organic framework (Fe-BTC) for the removal of methyl orange as a model contaminant from ... -
Advances in periodic difference equations with open problems
(Springer, 2014)In this paper, we review some recent results on the dynamics of semi-dynamical systems generated by the iteration of a periodic sequence of continuous maps. In particular, we state several open problems focused on the ... -
AEBP1 is a Novel Oncogene: Mechanisms of Action and Signaling Pathways
(Hindawi, 2020)Adipocyte enhancer-binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a transcriptional repressor involved in the regulation of critical biological processes including adipogenesis, mammary gland development, inflammation, macrophage cholesterol ... -
AEO‑7 surfactant is “super toxic” and induces severe cardiac, liver and locomotion damage in zebrafish embryos
(Springer Open, 2020)Background: Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether-7 (AEO-7), a non-ionic surfactant, has recently been receiving extensive attention from the ocean pipeline industry for its ability to inhibit corrosion. However, the present ... -

Analysis of macro and micro elemental composition of different extracts and finished products of the medicinal Herb – Terminalia bellirica
(PKP, 2019)Terminalina bellirica is considered to be a sacred plant with five distinctive tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent). It stimulates the proper functioning of the digestive system, sensory organs and it is very ... -
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 ... -
