(
John Wiley & Sons Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Cytogenetic abnormalities associated with viral infections, including from viruses of the Herpesvirales order, have been reported in vertebrate species. Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) has been detected worldwide during ...
Automated detection of perinatal hypoxia using time-frequency-based heart rate variability features
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2014 , Article)
Perinatal hypoxia is a cause of cerebral injury in foetuses and neonates. Detection of foetal hypoxia during labour based on the pattern recognition of heart rate signals suffers from high observer variability and low ...

Objectives
Pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinics have been shown to improve the quality of life (QoL) of patients receiving anti-clot treatment. The first pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic in Qatar was ...
Opportunistic spectrum sharing in relay-assisted cognitive systems with imperfect CSI
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we consider spectrum sharing between cognitive radio (CR) users and a licensed primary user (PU) to enhance the spectrum efficiency. In the considered scenario, the PU is not able to successfully transmit ...
Moderate salinity stimulates growth and photosynthesis of Phragmites karka by water relations and tissue specific ion regulation
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The domestication of non-food salt resistant plants could be helpful for biofuel as well as phyto-remediation of salt-affected lands. Limited eco-physiological studies on halophytes are the major bottleneck in developing ...
