( Dove Medical Press Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Aims: Different kinds of vitamins can be used as promising candidates to mitigate the structural changes of proteins and associated cytotoxicity stimulated by NPs. Therefore, the structural changes of �-syn molecules and ... -
Voice and Emphasis in Arabic Coronal Stops: Evidence for Phonological Compensation
( SAGE , 2021 , Article)The current study investigates multiple acoustic cues–voice onset time (VOT), spectral center of gravity (SCG) of burst, pitch (F0), and frequencies of the first (F1) and second (F2) formants at vowel onset—associated with ... -
Voicing in Qatari Arabic: Evidence for prevoicing and aspiration
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)Languages with a two-way voicing contrast in phonology usually contrast prevoiced b, d, g stops with voiceless unaspirated p, t, k stops or voiceless unaspirated stops with voiceless aspirated stops (Iverson & Salmons, ... -
Voicing perceptions of local job seekers and employees toward workforce nationalization and employment
( Emerald Publishing , 2023 , Article)Purpose: This study explores local Qatari job seekers' and employees' perceptions of the workforce nationalization strategy to address an inadequacy in the workforce nationalization literature in Gulf Cooperation Council ... -
Voiding function improves under long-term testosterone treatment (TTh) in hypogonadal men, independent of prostate size
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)Background: Functional hypogonadism is a condition in which some, but not all, older men have low testosterone levels. Rather than chronological age per se, the causality of hypogonadism includes obesity and impaired general ... -
Volarisation of Brewer's spent grain for noodles preparation and its potential assessment against obesity
