A solid-phase extractant based on microemulsion modified date pits for toxic pollutants
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Application of microemulsion modified raw date pits as an inexpensive solid extractant for removing methylene blue (MB), copper ion (Cu2+) and cadmium ion (Cd2+) has been presented. The results summarised herein are also ...
Natural and depleted uranium in the topsoil of Qatar: Is it something to worry about?
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This study examines uranium in soils of Qatar to investigate whether there is any detectable traces of depleted uranium (DU). 409 soil samples were collected using a 10km grid system throughout the State of Qatar. The U ...
The effect of moderate and high-intensity fatigue on groundstroke accuracy in expert and non-expert tennis players
(
PMC
, 2013 , Article)
Exploring the effects of fatigue on skilled performance in tennis presents a significant challenge to the researcher with respect to ecological validity. This study examined the effects of moderate and high-intensity fatigue ...
A new hybrid extragradient iterative method for approximating the common solutions of a system of variational inequalities, a mixed equilibrium problem, and a hierarchical fixed point problem
(
Hindawi
, 2013 , Article)
We suggest and analyze an iterative scheme for finding the approximate element of the common set of solutions of a system of variational inequalities, a mixed equilibrium problem, and a hierarchical fixed point problem in ...
Salinomycin induces apoptosis and senescence in breast cancer: Upregulation of p21, downregulation of survivin and histone H3 and H4 hyperacetylation

Cyclic AMP-Rap1A signaling mediates cell surface translocation of microvascular smooth muscle α2C-adrenoceptors through the actin-binding protein filamin-2
(
American Physiological Society
, 2013 , Article)
The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) plays a vital role in vascular physiology, including vasodilation of large blood vessels. We recently demonstrated cAMP activation of Epac-Rap1A and RhoA-Rho-associated kinase ...
Regression-type estimators for adaptive two-stage sequential sampling
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
Adaptive two-stage sequential sampling (ATSSS) design was developed to observe more rare units and gain higher efficiency, in the sense of having a smaller variance estimator, than conventional sampling designs with equal ...
Asymptotic properties of the sample mean in adaptive stratified sequential sampling with multiple selection criteria
(
Iranian Mathematical Society
, 2013 , Article)
We extend the method of adaptive two-stage sequen-tial sampling to include designs where there is more than one crite-ria used in deciding on the allocation of additional sampling effort. These criteria, or conditions, can ...
The Museum of Islamic Art: Form, perception, and environment
(
Common Ground Research Networks
, 2013 , Article)
Islamic Arab societies have a distinctive but culturally common system of beliefs, attitudes, and values that over time have formed traditional expression. These traditions have been articulated through art, architecture, ...
A FCM and SURF based algorithm for segmentation of multispectral face images
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a novel clustering algorithm based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and Speeded-Up Robust Feature (SURF) for multispectral image segmentation. In the experiments, color images and multispectral images from ...
