Secretion and membrane fusion are fundamental cellular processes regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–Golgi transport, plasma membrane recycling, cell division, sexual reproduction, acid secretion, and the release of enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters, to name just a few. It is therefore no surprise that defects in secretion and membrane fusion give rise to diseases such as diabetes, Alz...

This study is conducted during the period between October 2019 till July 2020 to measure ratios of some chemical parameters in two species fish prevalent Al-Haffar Drainage. The concentrations fats and proteins measured three tissues (gills, skin, muscles) of Tilapia Zilli and Liza Abu fish. percentages protein Liza Abu were 14.41, 24.5, 14.47%, while Tilapia Zilli as: ...

It has been recently suggested by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali that gravity may become strong at energies not far above the electroweak scale and thus remove the hierarchy problem. Such a scenario can be tested at both present and future accelerators since towers of Kaluza-Klein gravitons and associated scalar fields now play an important phenomenological role. In this paper we examine se...

In this paper, we investigate the bulk service queue with Bernoulli vacation schedule and restricted admissibility introduced and studied by Madan and Abu-Dayyeh, [Revista Investigacion Operacional, Vol.24, No.2, pp.113-123, 2003]. Madan and Abu-Dayyeh assume exponentially distributed service times while we allow these times to be generally distributed. We obtain various performance measures th...

Moment invariants are evaluated as a feature space for pattern recognition in terms of discrimination power and noise tolerance. The notion of complex moments is introduced as a simple and straightforward way to derive moment invariants. Through this relation, properties of complex moments are used to characterize moment invariants. Aspects of information loss, suppression, and redundancy encou...

Abu Ja'far Ahmad b. Abi Khalid Ibn al-Jazzar, born in Qayrawan, the medieval capital of Tunisia, hailed from a family of physicians. ' His father IbrThim was a doctor, as was his paternal uncle Abu Bakr. He studied with the famous Jewish philosopher and physician Ishaq b. Sulayman al-Isra'ili (c. 243/855-343/955),2 who had been a student of Ishaq ibn 'Imran (d. 296/908),3 and who at the age of ...

muslim mystics have turned to political issues relying on both unity and plurality criteria.  they have explained the characteristics of a mystic politician emphasizing the necessity of mysticism for politicians and even the necessity of politics for mystics. taking a social viewpoint, the early sufis, paid a particular attention to this important matter in their speech and behavior, and invite...

In this paper, we study the existence of Diophantine quadruples with the property D(z) in the ring Z[ √−2 ]. We find several new polynomial formulas for Diophantine quadruples with the property D(a+ b √−2 ), for integers a and b satisfying certain congruence conditions. These formulas, together with previous results on this subject by Abu Muriefah, Al-Rashed and Franušić, allow us to almost com...
