Association between Soft Drink Consumption and Aggressive Behaviour among a Quarter Million Adolescents from 64 Countries Based on the Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS)
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Soft drink consumption has become a significant public health concern that is associated with
various adverse health outcomes.We aim to examine the association between soft drink consumption
and aggressive behavior among ...
Detection of DNA Bases via Field Effect Transistor of Graphene Nanoribbon with a Nanopore: Semi-empirical Modeling
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
, 2021 , Article)
DNA sequencing techniques are critical in order to investigate genes’ functions. Obtaining fast, accurate, and affordable DNA bases detection makes it possible to acquire personalized medicine. In this article, a ...
Goodness-of-fit testing based on Gini Index of spacings for progressively Type-II censored data
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2021 , Article)
In this article, we propose two new scale invariant test statistics when the
available data are subject to progressively Type-II censoring. The proposed
tests are based on Gini index of spacings. It is observed thorough ...
BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in Qatar.
(
Nature Researc
, 2021 , Article)
With the global expansion of the highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 Delta (B.1.617.2) variant, we conducted a matched test-negative case-control study to assess the real-world effectiveness of COVID-19 messenger RNA vaccines ...
Association of Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection With Risk of Breakthrough Infection Following mRNA Vaccination in Qatar.
(
American Medical Association
, 2021 , Article)
The effect of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection on vaccine protection remains poorly understood. To assess protection from SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection after mRNA vaccination among persons with vs without prior SARS-CoV-2 ...
Epidemiological impact of prioritising SARS-CoV-2 vaccination by antibody status: Mathematical modelling analyses
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2021 , Article)
Background Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been developed, but their availability falls far short of global needs. This study aimed to investigate the impact of prioritising available doses on the basis of recipient ...
A Novel Simulation-Based Adaptive MEWMA Approach for Monitoring Linear and Logistic Profiles
(
IEEE
, 2021 , Article)
As a common approach in the development of control charts in Statistical Process Control (SPC), an industrial process is monitored with one or more quality characteristics using their corresponding distributions. Note ...
Robust Distribution-Free Hybrid Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Schemes Based on Simple Random Sampling and Ranked Set Sampling Techniques
(
Hindawi
, 2021 , Article)
This paper proposes new nonparametric hybrid exponentially weighted moving average (HEWMA) control charts based on simple random sampling (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS) techniques using the Wilcoxon rank-sum W statistic. ...
Efficient homogeneously weighted dispersion control charts with an application to distillation process
(
Wiley
, 2021 , Article)
Monitoring disturbances in process dispersion using control chart is mostly based on the assumption that the quality characteristic follows normal distribution, which is not the case in many real-life situations. This paper ...
An Efficient Audio Encryption Scheme Based on Finite Fields
(
IEEE
, 2021 , Article)
Finite fields are well-studied algebraic structures with enormous efficient properties which have applications in the fields of cryptology and coding theory. In this study, we proposed a lossless binary Galois field ...
