Although there is a plethora of literature that supports the existence of a technological bias in the US and Europe, exploring such a subject in the developing countries is still relevant and very little processed. This article is part of the perspective that involves examining…

A comparative study on the sensing properties of nanoparticles ZnO+ x wt% CeO2 and SnO2+ x wt% CeO2 (x = 0, 2, 4 and 6) sensors sintered at 400 oC toward ethanol gas have been carried out. The crystal structure and the particle size of…

The authors report a case of prostate cancer recurrence in the bladder wall after radical prostatectomy studied by magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the Time-Intensity (T-I) curves have been used to characterize tumor tissue.Multiparametric…

Tracking the actual course of a project is a difficult managerial task. A simulation offers a transitional phase between a plan and its implementation and offers a better way of testing the viability of the project. It is safe, cheap, efficient and risk-free. The goal…

Biofuels are part of a trend towards increased utilization of local resources for energy generation, especially those with greenhouse gases’ reduction benefits. In this paper, we argue that photosynthesis dependent biofuels — with a practical maximum of 2% energy conversion efficiency — can only satisfy…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the levels of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the end-user regarding Information Systems Security Awareness (ISSA) in higher education, specifically Kuwait University (KU), and to identify the areas which require attention. Factors such as knowledge, attitude and behavior…

Minimum wage policy is a highly controversial subject in the international literature, in which there are surprisingly contradictory theoretical and empirical findings. In this paper we focus on modelling the robust dependencies between minimum wage and net earnings for a set of 20 European Union…

DNA content and chromatin texture of interphase nuclei in MCF-7 and Guerin carcinoma cells that are sensitive or resistant to chemotherapeutic agents in the setting of the treatment with cisplatin, nanocomposite and static magnetic field have been analyzed. The results obtained indicate that chemotherapy agents…

Job satisfaction has received wide attention as one of the core elements of an organization that is successful in achieving its purposes.  This study aims to investigate the job satisfaction of Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) administrative staff by measuring the job satisfaction level of non-academic…

This study explores canola production in the south eastern United States in order to successfully adapt to the market demand for high valued oilseeds. Two primary objectives were established, determining yield response, and oil quality of harvested seed. Two canola cultivars were evaluated for production…
