Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesViability of Using Local Waste Materials in the Production of High-Performance and Self-Compacting ConcreteSayed Mohamad Soleimani, Abdel Rahman Alaqqad, Ali Behbehani et al.The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of using local waste materials on the properties of fresh and hardened high performance and self-compacting concrete. Crushed ceramic products and steel slag from electric-arc furnaces were used as partial replacements of traditional concrete raw materials in the production of self-compacting and high-performance concrete, which were obtained from local factories … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2020 · 8,077 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesProgressive LDL Reduction to Very Low Levels Improves Dimeric Nitric Oxide Synthase, Nitric Oxide Bioavailability and Reduces Peroxynitrite in Endothelial Cells during HyperglycemiaR. Preston Mason, Hazem Dawoud, Samuel C.R. Sherratt et al.Circulating levels of glucose and LDL influence Endothelial Cell (EC) function in a highly interactive manner as evidenced by nitric oxide production and coupling of endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) dimer. Here, we report on the status of eNOS function in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) cultured under normo- and hyperglycemic (250 mg/dL) condition followed by exposure to increasing … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 2 May 2019 · 8,356 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIDENTIFICATION OF PERIODIC AUTOREGRESSIVE MOVING-AVERAGE TIME SERIES MODELS WITH RHazem I. El Shekh Ahmed, Raid B. Salha, Diab I. AL-AwarPeriodic autoregressive moving average PARMA process extend the classical autoregressive moving average ARMA process by allowing the parameters to vary with seasons. Model identification is the identification of a possible model based on an available realization, i.e., determining the type of the model with appropriate orders. The Periodic Autocorrelation Function (PeACF) and the Periodic Partial Autocorrelation Function (PePACF) serve as … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2014 · 12,904 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSEASONAL DROUGHT DYNAMICS IN EL-BEHEIRA GOVERNORATE, EGYPTAmr Mossad, Hazem S. Mehawed, Ahmed El-ArabyDrought is the most damaging climate-related hazards due to the prolonged absence of precipitation. Therefore, understanding the drought dynamics is important for irrigation water management to mitigate the negative impacts on agriculture.
