The black tufted-ear marmoset (Callithrix penicillata) is a small Neotropical primate, which lives in various types of environments from Cerrado (Brazilian savannah), Atlantic forest to urban areas. Research shows that food availability influences ho...

Employee suggestion system assessment model: the best practice scenarios (2014)
Journal Article
Lasrado, F., Arif, M., & Rizvi, A. (2014). Employee suggestion system assessment model: the best practice scenarios

Corporations widely use ‘Employee suggestion schemes’ to elicit employees’ creative ideas. Despite its many benefits, sustaining the suggestion system is still a challenge for the organisation. This paper uses a sustainability assessment model to ass... Read More about Employee suggestion system assessment model: the best practice scenarios.

Lipid metabolism and hormonal interactions: impact on cardiovascular disease and healthy aging (2014)
Journal Article

Populations in developed nations are aging gradually; it is predicted that by 2050 almost a quarter of the world’s population will be over 60 years old, more than twice the figure at the turn of the 20th century. Although we are living longer, this d... Read More about Lipid metabolism and hormonal interactions: impact on cardiovascular disease and healthy aging.

Evaluation of genetic association of the INK4 locus with primary open angle glaucoma in East Indian population (2014)
Journal Article
angle glaucoma in East Indian population. Scientific reports, 4, 5115. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep05115

INK4 locus at chromosome 9p21 has been reported to be associated with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and its subtypes along with the associated optic disc parameters across the populations of European, Japanese and African ancestries. The locus e... Read More about Evaluation of genetic association of the INK4 locus with primary open angle glaucoma in East Indian population.
