This proposed study seeks to develop specific e-service (electronic service) strategies that could help enhance competitiveness of Abu Dhabi’s tourism in the global market in general and in the Gulf region in particular. As e-commerce (electronic commerce) increasingly transformed business operations in the contemporary networked economy, services provided by these emerging information and comm...

the history of jahangosha is a literary-historical work created byata malik joweini using verbal and spiritual industries and several metaphors and allegories from different quranic and islamic traditions and persian and arabic poems. one important aspect of this work, adducing or borrowing from arabic distiches, is going to be analyzed in this paper. joweini has used many different arabic vers...

Escherichia coli is the most common organism associated with asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU). In contrast to uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), which causes symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI), very little is known about the mechanisms by which these strains colonize the human urinary tract. The prototype ABU E. coli strain 83972 was originally isolated from a girl who had carried it asymptoma...

We study optimal conformity measures for various criteria of efficiency of classification in an idealised setting. This leads to an important class of criteria of efficiency that we call probabilistic; it turns out that the most standard criteria of efficiency used in literature on conformal prediction are not probabilistic unless the problem of classification is binary. We consider both uncond...

Number of mathematical correlations have been used to predict the monthly average global solar radiation on horizontal using the sun hours as an input parameter. The study was carried out on two weather stations in the UAE, which are Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, using a daily weather data recorded for 13 years. The used correlations included the linear Angstrom-Prescott model and its derivations, name...

We have established a novel strategy to reduce the risk for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), where rapidly increasing antibiotic resistance poses a major threat. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) protects the host against symptomatic infections with more virulent strains. To mimic this protective effect, we deliberately establish ABU in UTI-pron...

BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli is the major pathogen in many extraintestinal Gram-negative bacillus infections. Both E. coli virulence characteristics and host factors contribute to the development of E. coli bacteremia in urinary tract infection (UTI). The aim of this study was to examine the bacterial virulence characteristics in E. coli infections arising from the urinary tract. METHODS: A tot...
