      Al-Khazali, Osamah; Leduc, Guillaume; Alsayed, Mohammad Saleh (Taylor & Francis Online, 2015)
      This article examines the martingale difference hypothesis (MDH) and the random walk hypothesis (RWH) for nine conventional and nine Islamic stock indices: Asia-Pacific, Canadian, Developed Country, Emerging, European, ...
    • Market Efficiency of Floating Exchange Rate Systems: Some Evidence from Pacific-Asian Countries 

      Al-Khazali, Osamah; Leduc, Guillaume; Pyun, Chong S. (Elsevier, 2011)
      This paper examines the random walk hypothesis (RWH) and the martingale difference hypothesis (MDH) for the Australian dollar and five Asian emerging currencies relative to three benchmark currencies. We use Wright’s (2000) ...
    • Martingale problem for superprocesses with non-classical branching functional 

      Leduc, Guillaume (Elsevier, 2006)
      The martingale problem for superprocesses with parameters (𝛏, Ф, 𝑘) is studied where 𝑘(𝒹𝑠) may not be absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This requires a generalization of the concept of ...
    • Maximum principles and overdetermined problems for Hessian equations 

      Enache, Cristian; Marras, Monica; Porru, Giovanni (ISTE Group, 2021)
      In this article we investigate some Hessian type equations. Our main aim is to derive new maximum principles for some suitable P-functions, in the sense of L.E. Payne, that is for some appropriate functional combinations ...
    • Mechanical perturbation control of cardiac alternans 

      Hazim, Azzam; Belhamadia, Youssef; Dubljevic, Stevan (American Physical Society, 2018)
      Cardiac alternans is a disturbance in heart rhythm that is linked to the onset of lethal cardiac arrhythmias. Mechanical perturbation control has been recently used to suppress alternans in cardiac tissue of relevant size. ...
    • A mixed finite element method for nonlinear radiation–conduction equations in optically thick anisotropic media 

      Belhamadia, Youssef; Seaid, Mohammed (Elsevier, 2023-09)
      We propose a new mixed finite element formulation for solving radiation–conduction heat transfer in optically thick anisotropic media. At this optical regime, the integro-differential equations for radiative transfer can ...
    • Modeling and simulation of hypothermia effects on cardiac electrical dynamics 

      Belhamadia, Youssef; Grenier, Justin (Public Library of Science, 2019)
      Previous experimental evidence has shown the effect of temperature on the action potential duration (APD). It has also been demonstrated that regional cooling of the heart can prolong the APD and promote the termination ...
    • Modeling of the In Vitro Release Kinetics of Sonosensitive Targeted Liposomes 

      Almajed, Zeyad Mohamed; Salkho, Najla; Sulieman, Hana; Husseini, Ghaleb (MDPI, 2022-12-05)
      Targeted liposomes triggered by ultrasound are a promising drug delivery system as they potentially improve the clinical outcomes of chemotherapy while reducing associated side effects. In this work, a comprehensive model ...
    • The n-zero-divisor graph of a commutative semigroup 

      Anderson, David F.; Badawi, Ayman (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 

      Al-Salman, Ahmad; Al-Sharawi, Ziyad (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 ...
    • A Numerical Investigation of the Buckling of Doubly Clamped Nano-Actuators Governed by an Integro-Differential Equation 

      Yousef, Abdelrahman; Khoury, Suheil; Louhichi, Issam (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 

      Belhamadia, Youssef; Cassol, Guilherme Ozorio; Dubljevic, Stevan (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 ...
    • On 1-absorbing primary ideals of commutative rings 

      Badawi, Ayman; Celikel, Ece Yetkin (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 phi-Dedekind rings and phi-Krull rings 

      Badawi, Ayman; Anderson, David F. (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 

      Badawi, Ayman; Lucas, Thomas G. (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 ...
