Understanding improvisation in construction through agent-based modeling -

Alhussein, Hasnaa Salah, (2018)

Improvisation is a spontaneous, impulsive, but rational decision-making process. Although unpopular, as it indicates deviation from plans, improvisation is unavoidable in construction as it helps address emerging non-standard ...
FTY720P stimulates the Na+-K+ ATPase in CACO-2 cells via PKC, PGE2 and PKA -

Noureddine, Maysoon Issam, (2018)

Na+-K+ ATPase is ubiquitously expressed in all animal cells serving a myriad of fundamental functions. In the intestines, it regulates sodium, water, and nutrient absorption; hence, any significant alteration in its activity ...
Reliability based analysis of spatially random cohesive multi-layered slopes -

Jaber, Reem Atef, (2018)

Slope stability is a branch of geotechnical engineering that is affected significantly by uncertainty due to spatial variability of soil properties. Traditional deterministic slope stability design methodologies account ...
Thermal properties measurement using Mirage-Effect experiment -

Hadi, Mohammad Kazem, (2018)
