SARS-CoV-2 currently lacks effective first-line drug treatment. We present promising data from in silico docking studies of new Methisazone compounds (modified with calcium, Ca; iron, Fe; magnesium, Mg; manganese, Mn; or zinc...
Background and objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate the benefit of training with virtual reality simulation. The secondary objective was to describe the short-term skill acquisition obtained by simulation training...
Potentially toxic elements (PTEs)-induced genotoxicity on aquatic plants is still an open question. Herein, a single clone from a population of water hyacinth covering a large distribution area of Nile River (freshwater)...
We empirically analyze the market risk profiles of Islamic banks with two sets of conventional banks taken from the same geographical locations as Islamic banks and from a random global sample respectively for the period...
In this paper two models are contrasted whereby a corporation is seeking to finance the purchase of a merchandise from a supplier through a profit and loss sharing contract. The first mode consist of financing the purchase...
The emerging cloud paradigm has a prominent effect on manufacturing. The move from hardware bound systems to requirements based service provision is enabling the transition to cloud manufacturing. A networked manufacturing...
Football fans are consumers with special relationship with their favourite teams. Consumer-brand relationship is unique and ultimate in football context. However, the absence of these relationships is mainly due to a lack of...
Postcolonialism stands today in flagrant contradiction with its mission. This assertion should scarcely come as a surprise. Come to think of it: what has postcolonialism done to colonization in the past few decades, save...
This literature review aims to provide an account of the changes to orthopaedics in the era of COVID-19. Herein, the authors explored the use of telemedicine in orthopaedics as well as changes in surgical protocols, screening...
We describe the design and synthesis of two isatin-tethered quinolines series (Q6a-h and Q8a-h), in connection with our research interest in developing novel isatin-bearing anti-tubercular candidates. In a previous study, a...
We empirically analyze the market risk profiles of Islamic banks with two sets of conventional banks taken from the same geographical locations as Islamic banks and from a random global sample respectively for the period...
Aims: Characterisation of alkaliphilic Bacillus species for spore production and germination and calcite formation as a prelude to investigate their potential in micro-crack remediation in concrete. Methods and Results...
This paper reports on the experimentation of a collaborative learning approach in university training for a Master's degree in “Pedagogical and Multimedia Engineering”. It is carried out with learner-teachers training in...
Primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure for which there is no disease-specific treatment. However, this could change, since novel therapeutic approaches are currently being...
Airline companies seek to solve the problem of determining an assignment of crews to a pre-determined flight schedule with minimum total cost, called the Crew Pairing Problem (CPP). Most of the existing studies focus on the CPP...
In this paper, a novel cascade control technique is proposed in order to identify the parameters of cascade controllers in a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. Here, tuning of the inner and outer loop controllers is done...
In vehicular ad hoc networks, vehicles regularly transmit information through beacons to raise awareness among nearby vehicles about their presence. However, as the number of beacons increases, the wireless channel becomes...
