ON VARIABLE SELECTION WITH THE PRESENCE OF MISSING DATA IN LONGITUDINAL PANEL STUDIES
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
Longitudinal data are valuable in various disciplines because they provide helpful developmental patterns over time. However, frequently, it is challenging to have a high dimension of covariates and ubiquitous missing ...
LINEAR AND BAYESIAN ESTIMATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE TYPE II GENERALIZED LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTION BASED ON PROGRESSIVELY TYPE II CENSORED DATA
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
Generalized distributions have become widely used in applications recently. They are very flexible in data analysis, especially with skewed models that are important and occur frequently in many applications. In particular, ...
ROLE OF CHRONIC CADMIUM EXPOSURE ON ADIPOSE TISSUE FUNCTION
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic environmental pollutant with a bioaccumulation feature that exceeds 35 years without a known biological role in the living systems. Recently, Cd was found to be accumulated in adipose tissue (AT) ...
EFFECT OF BIOINSPIRED SYNTHETIC ANTI-MICROBIAL PEPTIDES ON COLORECTAL CANCER CELLS (SW620)
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the world's third most common cancer and the second biggest cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite significant advances in CRC therapeutic intervention, cytotoxicity, drug resistance, and adverse ...
PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMERIC FOAMS FOR REMOVAL OF FREE OIL FROM WATER
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
Development of polymeric foams for removal of oily pollutants (spills) from water is a key target of this thesis. Pollutants occur in the form of free oil (floating on the water surface) or oil/water macroscopic, non-stabilized ...
THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT ENDORSEMENT IN PUBLIC ONLINE CAMPAIGNS: A STUDY OF THREE CRISES CASES THAT AFFECTED THE GULF REGION
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
This study investigates the use of social media-based campaigns in the Gulf region and examines the extent to which government participation in such campaigns affects their outcomes. Three online public campaigns that ...
AN IMPROVEMENT OF INTERFACIAL ADHESION BETWEEN AL FOIL AND LOW DENSITY PE THROUGH BLENDING WITH FUNCTIONLIZED POLYMERS
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
An enhancement of interfacial adhesion between low density PE (LDPE), particularly QAPCO LDPE packing grade and aluminum foil is an important challenge in designing of multilayered packaging (TetraPak type of packaging) ...
INVESTIGATING THE MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE ANTI-CANCER ACTIVITIES OF DIOSMETIN IN COLORECTAL CANCER CELLS: AN IN VITRO STUDY
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
Diosmetin, a bioflavonoid isolated from citrus fruits, has been reported to have cytotoxic effects against various types of cancer. Although Diosmetin is found to have cytotoxic effects in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) cells, ...
NON-DETERMINISTIC MODELING USING QUANTILE REGRESSION
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
In this thesis, we utilize quantile regression to model the conditional quantile of the dependent variable given independent variables to capture more details about the conditional distribution. In addition, we apply the ...
PARAMETRIC AND NONPARAMETRIC PORTMANTEAU TESTS FOR LACK OF FIT IN TIME SERIES MODELS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
(06-2 , Master Thesis)
Several diagnostic tests for the lack of fit time series models have been introduced using parametric and nonparametric portmanteau tests. Some tests have been proposed based on the asymptotic distributions. Others are ...
