Greedy algorithms and metaheuristics for a multiple runway combined arrival-departure aircraft sequencing problem
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This paper examines the Aircraft Sequencing Problem (ASP) over multiple runways, under mixed mode operations with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of aircraft landings and departures simultaneously. ...
Infrared spectroscopy as an ultrastructure bio-probe for fungal cellular characterization
(
Research India Publications
, 2013 , Article)
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the biochemical composition of fungal cells. It also was applied to detect the differences between the biochemical constituents of spores and hyphae of A. ...
Photoactuating of materials designed for haptic aid-tablets for visually impaired people based on styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene block copolymer nanocomposites
(2013 , Article)
In this study, the photoactuation of styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene (SIS) block copolymer containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is shown. In order to improve dispersion, the MWCNT were ovalently modified either by ...

The present study reports investigations on the insecticidal activity of the entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus temperata K122 against the Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella. Cultured in the optimized medium, ...
Inner sphere oxidation of N,N′-ethylenebis(isonitrosoacetyleacetoneimine)copper(II) by N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous weakly acidic solutions
(
Springer Nature
, 2013 , Article)
The kinetics of oxidation of N,N'-ethylenebis(isonitrosoacetyleacetoneimine) copper(II) complex, CuL, by N-bromosuccinimide (SBr) in weakly aqueous acidic solutions was studied under pseudo-first-order conditions. Plots ...
Quantitative metabolomic and lipidomic profiling reveals aberrant amino acid metabolism in type 2 diabetes
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2013 , Article)
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a multi-factorial disease with a complex pathogenic mechanism; however a complete understanding of precise biochemical alterations accompanying the onset and progression of T2DM is lacking. Using ...
Nonlinear direct inverse method: A shortcut method for simultaneous calibration and isotherm determination
(2013 , Article)
This work addresses a way to combine isotherm determination and nonlinear calibration. In this method, like the classical inverse method, experimental elution profiles are compared with the results of a detailed model that ...
The use of optical spectroscopy as abiomarker probe for fungi identification
(
Research India Publications
, 2013 , Article)
Spectroscopic techniques includinginfrared,Raman (FT-Raman) and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-Vis)spectroscopy were used to identify and differentiate three fungi within the same Aspergillus genus (A. fumigatus, A. terreusand ...
On the relative efficiency of conventional and Islamic banks: a DEA-window approach
(
Inderscience
, 2013 , Article)
This paper explores the relative efficiency of 65 conventional and Islamic banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) over the period from 2002 to 2010. The empirical results ...
Does Government Ownership and Disclosure Affect Performance and Stability of the GCC Banking Sector?
(
Cambridge Research Science Institute
, 2013 , Article)
This paper studies empirically the effect of government ownership and the level of disclosure on the performance and the stability of banks, controlling for regulations, concentration, bank and country specific characteristics. ...
