Abstract

First-principles density functional theory calculations have been performed to investigate the structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of rubidium telluride in cubic anti-fluorite (anti-CaF2-type) structure. The calculated ground-state properties of Rb2Te compound such as equilibrium lattice parameter and bulk moduli are investigated by generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBE) that are based on the optimization of total energy. The elastic constants, Young’s and shear modulus, Poisson ratio, have also been calculated. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the available theoretical and experimental data. The pressure dependence of elastic constant and thermodynamic quantities under high pressure are also calculated and discussed.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Several investigations have indicated the antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic effects and smooth muscle relaxant activity of Cassia species. This study was done to determine the effect of Cassia fistula on sleeping time and the level of anxiety in mice. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 80 male albino mice (25-30 g) randomly allocated in 8 groups. For measuring the sleeping time we used the Angle method and animals were divided into three experimentals (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) and one control group. For evaluating of anxiety levels, animals randomly were divided into three experimentals and one control group, and elevated plus maze (EPM) model was used. The evaluation of anxiety indices included number and percent of time spent in open arm. Different doses of the aqueous extract of Cassia fistula (250, 500, 1000 mg/kg IP) were injected intraperitoneally to the treated groups. Controls were recived 10 ml/kg/BW normal saline intraperitoneally in both methods. Results: The extract of Cassia fistula (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) significantly increased sleeping time [F (3, 39)=23.19, P

Abstract

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been transformed from a land of deserts into a land of opportunities within a span of four decades. The robust economic growth of the UAE is evident from the booming economic sectors such as real estate and construction, tourism and hospitality, telecommunications, shipping and logistics, retail and finance. This growth epitomises the success of an innovative state-led capitalist growth model, under an able leadership. The main objective of this study is to evaluate government policies towards diversification of the UAE economy away from its heavy reliance on oil. The research examines the UAE Government’s policies towards the tourism sector, especially the role of tourism in the diversification of its economy. For this purpose, the approach and methodology employed in this paper is qualitative in nature. A thorough review of the literature has been conducted to understand the historical perspective of resource abundance and oil curse theories and rentiers, city state and economic diversification concepts. Qualitative research methodology in the form of a case study was employed to obtain an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the performance and development of the tourism sector. For this purpose, the larger Emirates of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah were selected. The results revealed that the exceptional growth of the UAE since the 1970’s has been triggered by the exploration of oil. The early realization of the resource curse by the government of UAE has resulted in various efforts being made to reduce the dependence and reliance on the oil sector for economic growth. The UAE has employed liberal and market oriented policies which laid a strong foundation for its successful diversification of the economy away from oil. The government has focused on non-oil sectors, particularly tourism, to ensure that the UAE becomes a regional hub for tourism and global investment. The UAE has invested billions of dollars into various non-oil sectors and has ensured that the oil sector’s contribution to the country’s GDP is reduced. The government has created a competitive as well as a coordinated atmosphere to ensure that all the seven emirates work towards the common goal of diversification and the development of the UAE economy as a whole. The vision of the government in making the UAE a preferred destination for tourism is gaining momentum, which ensures a significant increase in the contribution of the tourism sector to the National GDP. However, among the seven emirates, only Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah have taken serious policy initiatives to ensure the development of the tourism sector to ensure the increase in competitiveness and economic growth. Further thrust is required to increase the investment and development of non-oil sectors by all the emirates to ensure sustained development of the economy in the long run. There is more emphasis to focus on non-oil sectors, especially tourism, as the continued dependency on the highly volatile oil sector for wealth will affect the growth and stability of the economy of the UAE in the long run.

Abstract

Body size has a profound effect on many aspects of animals' biology including sexual interactions. Hymenopteran parasitoids exhibit dimorphisms in which females are larger than males. A recent study has indicated that in the solitary koinobiont parasitoid wasp Lysiphlebus fabarum Marshall, offspring life history traits are influenced by maternal body size, which raises the questions of whether larger females are preferred and whether larger males have an advantage when it comes to accessing larger mates. To test this, females of L. fabarum were allowed to lay eggs in aphids (Aphis fabae Scopoli) at different growth stages to manipulate female and male body size. First, we conducted a choice experiment to determine whether large female wasps are preferred by males. Secondly, we examined the effect of male body size on the ability of males within a patch to access females. Males of L. fabarum lack mate preference, as both small and large females were almost equally selected as mates. Mate searching duration did not vary with male or female body size, suggesting that body size would not influence pre-copulatory interactions within the patch. Smaller males copulated significantly longer, and copulation duration increased with the sexual body size dimorphism. Our finding suggests that a "first-to-mate" strategy is favoured by males, mating with the female they encounter regardless of her quality. Also, small males copulate longer possibly because of lower sperm transfer rate. This study shed light on the evolutionary processes regarding mating behaviours in this parasitoid wasp.
