Determinants of dividend payout ratio by Elgammal, Walid

“…On the other hand, the results detected weak relationships between Dividend Payout Ratio and Sale Growth, Debt to Equity Ratio, Firm size, and Free Cash Flow. The study suggests that board of directors tend to compensate shareholders and minimize the agency cost by distributing a high portion of profits in form of dividends whenever return on equity decreases. …”

Genetic Variation in CCL5 Signaling Genes and Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Susceptibility and Prognosis Implications by Jingxuan Shan (4711089)

“…We found a highly significant association between the <b><i>CCND1</i></b><b> </b><b>rs614367-TT</b> genotype (OR = 5.14; <i>P</i> = 0.004) and TNBC risk, and identified a significant association between the <b>rs614367-T</b> allele and decreased PFS in TNBC. A decreased risk of lymph node metastasis was associated with the <b><i>MAP3K21</i></b><b> </b><b>rs1294255-C</b> allele, particularly in <b>rs1294255-GC</b> (OR = 0.47; <i>P</i> = 0.001). …”

Angiotensin II AT1 receptor internalization, translocation and de novo synthesis modulate cytosolic and nuclear calcium in human vascular smooth muscle cells by Sleiman, S.

“…The present study was designed to verify if human (h) Angiotensin II (Ang II) type-1 receptor (hAT1R) undergoes internalization, nuclear translocation, and de novo synthesis in primary culture of human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs) and if overexpression of this receptor modulates sustained free cytosolic ([Ca]c) and nuclear ([Ca]n) calcium. 3-dimensional (3-D) confocal microscopy was used to monitor free intracellular Ca2+ and hAT1R-green fluorescence protein (GFP) fusion protein in cultured hVSMCs. …”

Dihydromyricetin and Salvianolic acid B inhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation and enhance chaperone-mediated autophagy by Jia-Zhen Wu (6844793)

“…Cells were co-transfected with a C-terminal modified α-synuclein (SynT) and synphilin-1, and then treated with DHM (10 μM) and Sal B (50 μM) 16 hours after transfection; levels of α-synuclein aggregation decreased significantly (68% for DHM and 75% for Sal B). …”

Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods by Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

“…This paper targets the performance analysis of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) point-to-point single-aperture relay-assisted and MIMO relay-assisted free-space optical (FSO) communications. The objective of the paper is to compare the different FSO diversity methods via an outage probability analysis over gamma-gamma turbulence channels in the case of independent fading among the different apertures of the communicating nodes. …”

Phase state of secondary organic aerosol in chamber photo-oxidation of mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…Although less important than RH and MR_org/inorg, the SOA composition plays a second-order role, with differences in the liquid-to-nonliquid transition at moderate MR_org/inorg of ∼ 1 observed between biogenic-only (anthropogenic-free) and anthropogenic-containing VOC systems. Considering the combining role of the RH and chemical composition in aerosol phase state, the BF decreased monotonically with increasing hygroscopic growth factor (GF), and the BF was ∼ 0 when GF was larger than 1.15. …”
