Administering an Islamic Public Value by a Non‐Muslim Agency: The UNHCR Refugee Zakat Fund

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The post‐Arab Spring conflicts generated large‐scale displacement across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), producing acute humanitarian needs among predominantly Muslim refugee populations. The United Nations High Commissioner to refugees responded by opening the Refugee Zakat Fund, to be used to mobilize the Islamic philanthropic ...

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Distributed Ledger Register: From Safe to Atomic

, 2019
This paper continues the recent line of academic effort dedicated to formalizing distributed ledgers. This work is the first one to propose a specification of distributed ledger register that matches the Lamport hierarchy from safe to atomic.

Development of a physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic model for Ritonavir characterizing exposure and drug interaction potential at both acute and steady‐state conditions

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 523-539, March 2025.
Abstract Ritonavir (RTV) is a potent CYP3A inhibitor that is widely used as a pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancer to increase exposure to select protease inhibitors. However, as a strong and complex perpetrator of CYP3A interactions, RTV can also enhance the exposure of other co‐administered CYP3A substrates, potentially causing toxicity.

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...

Monitoring of Crustose Coralline Algae Using Low‐Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Intertidal Reefs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
High‐resolution visible‐light imagery from low‐altitude unmanned aerial vehicles, combined with superpixel segmentation and a Random Forest classifier, provides an efficient and scalable framework for mapping and monitoring crustose coralline algae and reef habitats.
