Surviving examples of musical instruments and representations of them show that during the first half of the first millennium B.C. a considerable range of types was in use in Mesopotamia and Egypt, as well as in north Syria and south-east Asia Minor. Since there are numerous references in the Old Testament to music and musicians it is a reasonable assumption that, though there are few represent...

Nerve growth factor (NGF) treatment of rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells induces the synthesis of the transcription factor c-Fos, which becomes highly phosphorylated relative to that produced as a result of depolarization of the cell. A peptide derived from the carboxyl terminus of c-Fos (residues 359-370, RKGSSSNEPSSD) containing putative phosphorylation sites was used to detect a NGF-stimulat...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence and risk factors of default from pulmonary tuberculosis treatment in Kuwait. DESIGN Retrospective study. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied all patients who were registered for pulmonary tuberculosis treatment between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2012, and admitted into TB wards in El Rashid Center or treated in the outpatient clinic in TB Control Un...

This study was conducted to assess and compare the incidence and severity of hematological changes in various types of malaria in adult population. Methodology: This observational study included 133 acute malaria patients admitted in the Infectious Diseases Unit of Rashid Hospital Dubai (JCI accredited) UAE...

The discovery of di-ethyl ether has been attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan, an Arabian philosopher who flourished in the eighth century and was a close friend of Ja'far al-Barmaki, the Wazir to Harun ar-Rashid, immortalized in the "Thousand and One Nights". Similarly, Raymund Lull or Lully, a Majorcan alchemist of the thirteenth century, has also been credited with the discovery, but there seems t...

It has been discussed in the literature that the medium-access control (MAC) protocols, which schedule periodic sleep–active states of sensor nodes, can increase the longevity of sensor networks. However, these protocols suffer from very low end-toend throughput and increased end-to-end packet delay. How to design an energy-efficient MAC protocol that greatly minimizes the packet delay while ma...

Ten drugs with antidysrhythmic and analgesic properties were evaluated for their ability to increase the ventricular fibrillating threshold (V.F.T.) in pentobar-bitone-anaesthetized cats by the electrically induced ventricular fibrillation method. The effects of this procedure on general haemo-dynamic parameters have already been published (Rashid, 1980). Quinidine, pentazocine, propranolol, pr...

We produce metric rectifications of the scene facing a particular vanishing point using the method of Zaheer, Rashid, and Khan to generate the homographies. The method gives a homography for metric rectification under the assumption of square pixels and known principal point but leaves behind an ambiguity consisting of a similarity transform (i.e., in-plane rotation, isotropic scale, translatio...
