, 2011 , Article)
Diabetes is a global epidemic and the highest prevalence rates in the world are found in Gulf Corporation Council countries, including Qatar. The country's Supreme Council of Health has recognised its significant health ...
Asymptotic formulae for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of q-Sturm-Liouville problems
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of q-Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems. For this aim we study the asymptotic behavior of q-trigonometric functions as well as fundamental ...

(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2011 , Book chapter)
The incidence of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases is increasing at a rapid rate globally. Adult on-set type II diabetes, which is closely associated with obesity, is reported to be 90-95% of all diabetic cases ...
Study of the Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3Aa16 histopathological effects and determination of its putative binding proteins in the midgut of Spodoptera littoralis
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2011 , Article)
The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis produces, at the vegetative stage of its growth, Vip3A proteins with activity against a broad spectrum of lepidopteran insects. The Egyptian cotton leaf worm (Spodoptera littoralis) is ...
Integration of a Recombinant Chitinase into Bacillus thuringiensis Parasporal Insecticidal Crystal
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
Chitinases have been successfully used in combination with Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxins forming crystals in order to enhance their insecticidal activities. In this context, we opted for promoting the chitinase ...
Drift optimization of high-rise buildings in earthquake zones
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2011 , Article)
This paper presents a Drift Design Structural Model (DDSM) for the design optimization of high-rise buildings in seismic zones. The model is formulated as a Generalized Single Degree of Freedom System subjected to equivalent ...
Advances in Tailoring Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Organic and Carbon Gels
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
An overview on the preparation and properties of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) organic and carbon gels reveals the fascinating and remarkably flexible properties of RF carbon and organic gels and how these properties are ...
Parameter Estimation of Biological Phenomena Modeled by S-systems: An Extended Kalman Filter Approach
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Recent advances in high-throughput technologies for biological data acquisition have spurred a broad interest
in the development of mathematical models for biological phenomena. S-systems, which offer a good compromise ...
Improvement of Bioinsecticides Production by Sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strains in Response to Various Stresses in Low Cost Medium
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
The use of bioinsecticides, particularly those produced by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strains, has been shown to be a good alternative in pest management. Two types of sporeless mutants were distinguished. The ...
