    Maadarani, Rola Jr (2021-06-19)
    5-20 % of breast cancer patients are diagnosed with overexpression of the HER2 (human epidermal receptor type 2) gene. This amplification is associated with an aggressive type of cancer, poor prognosis, and bad clinical ...
  • Herbal Products and Dietary Supplements 
    El Khoury, Ghada; Ramadan, Wijdan; Zeeni, Nadine (2016-09-29)

  • Herbert man's pilgrimage unto death and beyond 
    Marroum, Marianne E. (American University of Beirut, 2018-05-03)
    Man lives in time: the self is inseparable from the concept of time as it develops in time. Because the movement of time is an irreversible movement towards death, the prospect of death enters as an integral and ineradicable ...
  • Heteroepitaxial growth of colloidal nanocrystals onto substrate films via hot-injection routes 
    Acharya, Krishna P.; Khon, Elena; O'Conner, Timothy; Nemitz, Ian; Klinkova, Anna; Khnayzer, Rony S. (2017-11-03)
    Hot-injection synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) in a substrate-bound form is demonstrated. We show that polycrystalline films submerged into hot organic solvents can nucleate the heteroepitaxial growth of semiconductor ...
