The purpose of this paper is to identify the variables that determine or explain the supply of bounced checks, either issued in Lebanese pounds or issued in US dollars.This is an area that the extant empirical research fails to cover, and hence, this paper is, by itself, quite innovative.Four major explanatory variables are identified.Two of them a
The objective of this study was to determine the potential of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) as gene carriers for improving the outcome of human islet transplantation.hBMSCs were characterized for the expression of phenotypic markers and transduced with Adv-hVEGF-hIL-1Ra to overexpress human vascular endothelial growth fa
Machine-part family formation is one of major applications of group technology (GT).The machine cell formation problem in cellular manufacturing system (CMS) involves the decomposition of the manufacturing system into machine cells.Part turbosound ts-18sw700/8a families are identified such that they are fully processed within a machine cell.The pro
Brassica napus is an insect-pollinated crop species and offers itself as the main nutrient source to many insects that consume floral nectar.This study was carried out to ascertain the pollen preferences of Apis mellifera among the available floral resources.We wanted to identify and quantify all types of pollen collected by honeybee during the flo
