The determinants of conventional Syrian banks profitability
Examines the impact of bank specific characteristics and macroeconomic variables on the profitability of Syrian banking industry by analysing balanced panel data from 2016 to 2019. A total of 11 Syrian conventional banks’ financial reports were analysed; The paper examines internal variables (bank-level indicators), which include financial leverage, liquidity, nonperforming loans and capital adequacy, as well as external variables, which include macroeconomic and industry-specific variables. The dependent variables used are return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). A multi-regression model of panel data regression analysis is hired for the analysis. The results revealed that the profitability of banks is greatly affected by non-performing debt and the financial Leverage. The results are consistent with previous research conducted on the impact internal factors on the profitability of banks.

The Coupling of Climate and Economic Dynamics : Essays on Integrated Assessment
Deals with various aspects of the building of integrated assessment models, either by coupling economic growth and climate change modules, or using mathematical models of viability or dynamic game theory to represent the interactions between the world regions concerned. This book is the result of several years of joint research in an interdisciplinary project on the human dimension of climate change. It proposes innovative ways to include climate simulation modules in optimal economic growth models; it explores the possible use of computable general economic equilibrium models coupled with paradigms of game theory to assess the dividends of cooperation in climate policies; it reports on the building of multi-region dynamic energy-technology-environment models to assess the possible response of the world energy system to a global cap on GHG emissions, and it shows how to model the impacts of climate change at a regional level.
The Chemistry of Pheromones and Other Semiochemicals II
Updates and compiles the biochemical, molecular knowledge of the still growing family of collagenous proteins. Its intention is to provide a comprehensive summary of all mechanisms known to be involved in synthesis, processing and deposition of collagen molecules, all of which are apparently shared by any known collagen type as part of a common biosynthetic route. From the intracellular initiation of protein translation to the extracellular deposition of mature molecules into the scaffold of the preformed tissue texture, collagen biosynthesis exhibits a profile of mechanisms absolutely unique when compared to other proteins. Among these are posttranslational modifications, triple helix formation and stabilization as well as supramolecular assembly of individual molecules to form fibrils and three dimensional networks or to provide cellular anchorage.

The architecture of transgression
Suggests operating beyond accepted norms and radically reinterpreting practice by pushing at the boundaries of both what architecture is, and what it could or even should be.challenged by other professions and a culture of conservatism, architecture is in danger of losing its prized status as one of the pre-eminent visual arts. Transgression opens up new possibilities for practice. It highlights the positive impact that working on the architectural periphery can make on the mainstream, as transgressive practices have the potential to reinvent and reposition the architectural profession: whether they are subverting notions of progress questioning roles and mechanisms of production aligning with political activism pioneering urban interventions advocating informal or incomplete development actively destabilising environments or breaking barriers of taste.

Talking faces : Audio driven talking faces
Talking face generation aims to synthesize a sequence of face images and voices of characters corresponding to their identities, it can serve several solutions; such as voice tone, facial expression, with a good lip synchronization. Therefore, we propose virtual news anchor based on real news anchor called Brooke Baldwin, which reads the texts by itself, reports tirelessly 24/7 for anyone in the world. Several methods and algorithms applied in this project using the dataset to simulate the voice, personalize facial expression and natural head poses to present a life-like image instead of a cold robot. Transfer learning and fine-tuning approaches used to serve this project by taking pre-trained models over LRW (Lip reading in the wild) dataset and fine-tune them to achieve our goal.
