Revisiting the economic theory of crime A state-level analysis in India
( Cogent OA , 2023 , Article)The economic theory of crime tends to suggest that deterrence variables have a significant impact on crime rates in a society. From an economic perspective, criminals are rational economic agents who weigh the likelihood ... -
Revitalising abandoned heritage villages: the case of Tinbak, Qatar
( Cogent OA , 2021 , Article)As an archaeological heritage, valuable heritage settlements entail preservation to avoid destruction and eventual extinction. Intending to propose a study for revitalising heritage villages, Tinbak is selected as a case ... -
RGO/Stibnite Nanocomposite as a Dual Anode for Lithium and Sodium Ion Batteries
( American Chemical Society , 2016 , Article)RGO/Sb2S3 nanocomposite has been investigated in this study as a dual anode material for Li- and Na-ion battery applications. The stibnite phase of Sb2S3, and its rGO composite have been obtained from a molecular complex, ... -
Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation
( Nature Publishing Group , 2015 , Article)Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of Rhus coriaria on three breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that Rhus coriaria ethanolic extract (RCE) inhibits the proliferation of these cell lines in a time- and ... -
