Phylogenetic analyses of peanut resistance gene candidates and screening of different genotypes for polymorphic markers
( Elsevier , 2009 , Article)The nucleotide-binding-site-leucine-rich-repeat (NBS–LRR)-encoding gene family has attracted much research interest because approximately 75% of the plant disease resistance genes that have been cloned to date are from ... -
Phylogeographic Patterns in Africa and High Resolution Delineation of Genetic Clades in the Lion (Panthera leo)
( Nature Publishing Group , 2016 , Article)Comparative phylogeography of African savannah mammals shows a congruent pattern in which populations in West/Central Africa are distinct from populations in East/Southern Africa. However, for the lion, all African populations ... -
Phylogeography of lions (Panthera leo ssp.) reveals three distinct taxa and a late Pleistocene reduction in genetic diversity
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2009 , Article)Lions were the most widespread carnivores in the late Pleistocene, ranging from southern Africa to the southern USA, but little is known about the evolutionary relationships among these Pleistocene populations or the ... -
Physical activity as a counteracting measure to mitigate the harmful effects of COVID-19 lockdowns: Special focus on healthy children, adolescents, adults, elderly, athletes, and people with Down syndrome
( Elsevier , 2021 , Book chapter)The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that originated in China in December 2019 has become a global public health emergency and has had a major impact on physical activity behaviors globally. ... -
Physical activity in pregnancy prevents gestational diabetes: A meta-analysis
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)AimsThe effectiveness of physical activity (PA) programs for prevention of gestational diabetes (GDM) lacks conclusive evidence. The aim of this study was to generate clear evidence regarding the effectiveness of physical ... -
Physical and legal inability under Article 17(3) of the Rome Statute
( Brill Academic Publishers , 2015 , Article)While the complementary regime of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been the subject of extensive examination in the literature, this article offers a new reading of the inability scenario that establishes a clear ... -
Physical Fitness and Academic Performance in Normal Weight, Overweight, and Obese Schoolchildren in Qatar: A Pilot Study for Physical Education Perspective
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Childhood obesity and loss of physical fitness are rising problems internationally. Although research concerning mitigation strategies has been enforced, empirical results until now fail to address problems and needs of ... -
Physical fitness and physical self-concept of male and female young adults in Qatar
( Public Library of Science , 2019 , Article)Background Physical inactivity is high within the Qatari population, particularly within females, and school-based environments, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. School-based physical activity (PA) outcomes ... -
Physical functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes for enhanced dispersibility in aqueous medium
( Springer Nature , 2020 , Article)Noncovalent functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by anionic surfactants (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate; SDBS and sodium cholate; SC) results in stable aqueous dispersions. SDBS showed better ... -
PHYSICAL INACTIVITY AS A PREDICTOR OF HYPERTENSION AMONG EMPLOYEES IN SRI LANKA: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
( Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)Background: There is compelling evidence that physical inactivity is responsible for a large proportion of non-communicable diseases. It is estimated that approximately 2 million deaths every year are attributable to ... -
Physical layer secrecy performance of multiple antennas transmission with partial legitimate user CSI
( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2019 , Article)Conventional beamforming transmission techniques can enhance physical layer secrecy performance while requiring the full channel state information (CSI) of legitimate users and even that of eavesdroppers at the transmitter. ... -
Physical Layer Security Analysis of UAV Based Communication Networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we investigate the communication security in aerial wiretap channels, where a network flying platform (NFP) wishes to send information to a legitimate destination, in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. ... -
Physical Layer Security for TAS/MRC Systems With and Without Co-Channel Interference Over Fading Channels
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Article)In this paper, the secrecy performance of transmit antenna selection/maximal ratio combining systems in the absence and presence of co-channel interference (CCI) over ?-? fading channels is considered. In particular, ... -
