since its advent in 1867,the arabic novel has been under the influence of two factors. one factor is longing for the past, the other one is infatuation with the west and submission to its hegemony. in early 20th century, some novels were written in response to public taste and arab culture. this novel is considered by critics of fiction to be a turning point in the path of arabic fiction. at th...

in this paper, we propose an approach for automatic generation of novel intrusion signatures. this approach can be used in the signature-based network intrusion detection systems (nidss) and for the automation of the process of intrusion detection in these systems. in the proposed approach, first, by using several one-class classifiers, the profile of the normal network traffic is established. ...

We identify a new subgroup of Type I Restriction-Modification enzymes that modify cytosine in one DNA strand and adenine in the opposite strand for host protection. Recognition specificity has been determined for ten systems using SMRT sequencing and each recognizes a novel DNA sequence motif. Previously characterized Type I systems use two identical copies of a single methyltransferase (MTase)...

The novel intragenic approach to genetic engineering improves existing varieties by eliminating undesirable features and activating dormant traits. It transforms plants with native expression cassettes to fine-tune the activity and/or tissue specificity of target genes. Any intragenic modification of traits could, at least in theory, also be accomplished by traditional breeding and transgenic m...

We have modified the HeartMate 3 (Abbott, Abbott Park, IL) implantation technique to better suit our patient population. This modification optimizes placement of sewing cuff and allows passage suture transmurally from endocardium epicardium in a “cut then sew” technique. believe this affords superior seal protection tearing friable myocardium. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) system ha...

A new method is developed to enhance the gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by interior modification of an inorganic nano-porous particle. Ship-in-a-bottle (SIB), as a novel synthesis strategy, is considered to encapsulate a polyaza macrocyclic Ag-ligand complex into the zeolite Y, which is resulted in a new host-guest nano-composite. It is consequently incorporated into...
