Double-zero-event studies matter: A re-evaluation of physical distancing, face masks, and eye protection for preventing person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 and its policy impact
( Elsevier , 2021 , Other)In a recent timely systematic review, Chu et al. [1] assessed the effectiveness of face masks, eye protection, and physical distancing for preventing COVID-19. Because the sample sizes are not large, especially in some ... -
Doubly dual nature of ammonium-based ionic liquids for methane hydrates probed by rocking-rig assembly
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2016 , Article)This work presents a systematic study of methane hydrate inhibition in the presence of five structurally variable ionic liquids (ILs) belonging to the ammonium family—viz., tetra-alkylammonium acetate (TMAA), choline ... -
Downlink Interference Analysis of UAV-Based mmWave Fronthaul for Small Cell Networks
( IEEE , 2023 , Article)In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)-based heterogeneous network is studied to solve the problem of transferring massive traffic of distributed small cells to the core network. First, a detailed three-dimensional ... -
Downpayment, mobility and default: A welfare analysis
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)In this paper, I study the impact of the relaxation of downpayment requirements on home-ownership and default risk in the context of a static spatial life cycle model. Given its quantitative success in matching the U.S. ... -
Doxorubicin conjugates: a practical approach for its cardiotoxicity alleviation
( Taylor & Francis , 2024 , Article)Introduction: Doxorubicin (DOX) emerges as a cornerstone in the arsenal of potent chemotherapeutic agents. Yet, the clinical deployment of DOX is tarnished by its proclivity to induce severe cardiotoxic effects, culminating ... -
DPSIR framework and sustainable approaches of brine management from seawater desalination plants in Qatar
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Brine released from desalination plants is extremely high in salinity and contains various chemicals, which are harmful to the ecosystem. The disposal of brine has raised great concerns for the desalination industry around ... -
DPSM technique for ultrasonic field modelling near fluid–solid interface
( Elsevier , 2007 , Article)Distributed point source method (DPSM) is gradually gaining popularity in the field of non-destructive evaluation (NDE). DPSM is a semi-analytical technique that can be used to calculate the ultrasonic fields produced by ... -
