Violators versus non-violators of information security measures in organizations-A study of distinguishing factors
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The present study analyzes the elements that differentiate violators from non-violators of information security measures. Various elements are derived from established theories and models such as general deterrence theory, ...
Encoding the β-Arrestin Trafficking Fate of Ghrelin Receptor GHSR1a: C-Tail-Independent Molecular Determinants in GPCRs
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can bias signaling through distinct biochemical pathways that originate from G-protein/receptor and β-arrestin/receptor complexes. Receptor conformations supporting β-arrestin engagement ...
Co2+ substituted for Bi3+ in BiVO4 and its enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible LED light irradiation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
We investigated the fabrication of Co-doped BiVO4 (Bi1-xCoxVO4+δ, 0.05 < x < 0.5) by the substitution of Co ions for Bi sites in BiVO4. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results ...

(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The present study describes the synthesis of a series of 22 chalcone analogs. These compounds were evaluated as potential human MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitors. The compounds showed varied selectivity against the two isoforms. ...
Drug-free holidays: Compliance, tolerability, and acceptability of a 3-day atovaquone/proguanil schedule for pretravel malaria chemoprophylaxis in australian travelers
(
Oxford University Press
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Poor compliance with chemoprophylaxis is a major contributing factor to the risk of malaria in travelers. Pre-travel chemoprophylaxis may improve compliance by enabling “drug-free holidays.” The standard treatment ...

(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Cultural, environmental and logistical factors challenge the Qatari population, particularly females, to engage in physical activity, and there is a high prevalence of diabetes in this population. Sedentary ...
Some Majorization Integral Inequalities for Functions Defined on Rectangles Via Strong Convexity
(
Ilirias Research Institute
