Computer-Aided Design for Estimating Foundation Uplift on Expansion Soils

open access: yesSultan Qaboos University Journal for Science, 1999
This work presents a methodology to determine in-situ heave of foundations due to soil expansion. A total of 206 soil specimens from a semi-arid region (lrbid city in northern Jordan) were tested in the laboratory to produce a model for predicting the ...

Clinical Correlations as a Tool in Basic Science Medical Education

open access: yes, 2016
Clinical correlations are tools to assist students in associating basic science concepts with a medical application or disease. There are many forms of clinical correlations and many ways to use them in the classroom.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

An investigation into the Traditional Method of Production of Omani Sarooj

open access: yesSultan Qaboos University Journal for Science, 1999
In the past, sarooj had been used as the basic cementing material with which the A flaj system (the irrigation system used in Oman) was built. Worldwide, materials like sarooj existed and were known for their good impermeability and long durability.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Spermatogenesis and Spermiogenesis of the Aphanius Dispar

open access: yesSultan Qaboos University Journal for Science, 1999
Light and transmission electron microscopy were used to study the structure of various stages of germ cells of the Aphanius dispar (Ruppell l828) in Oman. A dispar testes were of cystic type.

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

IGBT Based DC/DC Converter

open access: yesSultan Qaboos University Journal for Science, 1997
This paper presents an in-depth analytical and experimental investigation of an indirect DC-DC converter. The DC-AC conversion is a full bridge based on IGBT power modules, and the AC-DC conversion is done via a high  frequency AC link and a first diode ...

Ubiquitination of secretory granules promotes their crinophagic degradation in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ubiquitination of secretory granules in Drosophila larval salivary glands is a critical molecular trigger for crinophagy, the lysosomal degradation of unreleased, or low‐quality granules. The E3 ubiquitin ligase Cnot4 is recruited to the surface of secretory granules to induce crinophagy.

Quantitative Analysis of Clay Minerals Using X-Ray Diffraction Technique. Part 1

open access: yesSultan Qaboos University Journal for Science, 1998
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of clay minerals are important in the evaluation of the swelling potential of expansive soils A relatively simple method for the quantification of clay minerals of Al-Khod (Northern Oman) using an X-ray diffraction ...
