Massive oil revenues are currently fueling a surge in the number of educational
institutions in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, presenting leadership at all
levels with many unprecedented questions. In ...
Evidence of the Involvement of E358, A498 and C571 of a New Cry1Ac δ-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in its High Insecticidal Activity Against Ephestia kuehniella
(
Humana Press Inc
, 2010 , Article)
A new cry1Ac-type gene was cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis strain BLB1, sequenced and expressed. The deduced amino acid sequence of the polypeptide has a predicted molecular mass of 132.186 kDa. The amino acid sequence ...
Weak and strong convergence theorems without some widely used conditions
(
Academic Publications, Ltd.
, 2010 , Article)
We establish weak (strong) convergence of Ishikawa iterates of two asymptotically (quasi-)nonexpansive maps without any condition on the rate of convergence associated with the two maps. Moreover, our weak convergence ...
Antifungal activities of an endophytic Pseudomonas fluorescens strain Pf1TZ harbouring genes from pyoluteorin and phenazine clusters
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2010 , Article)
Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf1TZ was inhibitory in vitro to a number of phytopathogenic fungi and could protect vine plantlets against Botrytis cinerea. Total protection was reached after 3 weeks of bacterial inoculation. The ...

(
University of Jordan
, 2010 , Article)
This research claims that some of the grammatical reasons are fallible explanations whose authenticity can be reviewed Explaining the function of Noun or verb-specific particles, for instance, in light of the governance ...
On fixed points of Berinde's contractive mappings in cone metric spaces
(
North University of Baia Mare
, 2010 , Article)
In this paper we establish some common fixed point theorems for two self-mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition. This result generalizes well known comparable results in the literature. As an application, ...
Second law analysis of compressible flow through a diffuser subjected to constant heat flux at wall
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2010 , Article)
Entropy generation is equivalent to destruction of available work (exergy). The useful energy is destroyed due to the intrinsic irreversibility associated within thermodynamic systems. Exergy analysis can be used as an ...
A Qatari perspective on women in the engineering pipeline: an exploratory study
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2010 , Article)
Under-representation of women in engineering has received a great deal of attention, but remained limited largely to a Western context. Thus, this article aims to unveil the barriers to progress, tracking the performance ...
Trust in development: some implications of knowing in indigenous knowledge
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
, 2010 , Article)
The indigenous knowledge (IK) initiative in development has met with limited success. The cultural relativity of knowledge � i.e. what qualifies as justified belief � may partly explain why. Drawing on New Guinea Highlands' ...
Evaluation of a multilevel cascaded-type dynamic voltage restorer employing discontinuous space vector modulation
(
IEEE Industrial Electronics Society
, 2010 , Article)
In this paper, the application of a cascaded multilevel inverter as a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is investigated. Two discontinuous multilevel space vector modulation (SVM) techniques are implemented for DVR control ...
