, 2012 , Article)
The purpose of this paper is to compare the segmental information disclosures of Jordanian companies under IFRS 8 for 2009 with disclosures under IAS 14R for 2008. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 109 Jordanian ...
Conditions for student-centered teaching and learning in Qatari elementary math and science classrooms: Relationship between classroom processes and achievement of curriculum standards
(
Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals
, 2013 , Article)
Qatar K-12 school reform emphasizes student-centered classrooms where students actively engage in
enquiry and use their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Classrooms characterized by these
elements should ...
Electropolymerized phenol derivatives as permselective polymers for biosensor applications
(
The Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Amperometric biosensors are often coated with a polymeric permselective film to avoid electroactive
interference by reducing agents present in the target medium. Phenylenediamine and phenol monomers are commonly used to ...
Effect of rat serum lipoproteins on mRNA levels and amiodarone metabolism by cultured primary rat hepatocytes
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Hyperlipidemia can significantly increase amiodarone (AM) in vivo liver uptake and decrease its velocity of microsomal metabolism. Here, hepatocytes isolated from normolipidemic (NL) and hyperlipidemic rats were incubated ...
Cooperative Q-learning techniques for distributed online power allocation in femtocell networks
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we address the problem of distributed interference management of femtocells that share the same frequency band with macrocells using distributed multi-agent Q-learning. We formulate and solve two problems ...
Verifying cloud service-level agreement by a third-party auditor
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we study the important issue of verifying service-level agreement (SLA) with an untrusted cloud and present an SLA verification framework that utilizes a third-party auditor (TPA). A cloud provides users ...
On stability of equilibrium points in nonlinear fractional differential equations and fractional Hamiltonian systems
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.�
, 2014 , Article)
In this article, a brief stability analysis of equilibrium points in nonlinear fractional order dynamical systems is given. Then, based on the first integral concept, a definition of planar Hamiltonian systems with fractional ...
Use of Germ-Free Animal Models in Microbiota-Related Research
(
The Korean Society for Microbiology and Biotechnology
, 2015 , Article)
The large intestine is a home for trillions of microbiota, which confer many benefits on the host, including production of vitamins, absorption of nutrients, pathogen displacement, and development of the immune system. For ...
TiO2 nanotubes with ultrathin walls for enhanced water splitting
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
We demonstrate, for the first time, the synthesis of titania nanotubes
with ultrathin (3–5 nm) wall thickness. As revealed by the incident
photon-to-current collection efficiency (IPCE) and electrochemical
impedance ...
R-wave detection: A comparative analysis of four methods using newborn piglet ECG
(
IEEE
, 2010 , Conference Paper)
In the electrocardiograph (ECG), R-wave is the positive upward deflection in the QRS complex which represents the depolarization of both left and right ventricles. Accurate detection of the R-wave peaks in the ECG plays a ...
