Evolution of 29 Anthropometric, Nutritional, and Cardiometabolic Parameters Among Morbidly Obese Adolescents 2 Years Post Sleeve Gastrectomy
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a popular treatment for adolescent morbid obesity. Research on LSG outcomes among adolescents assessed a narrow range of anthropometric, nutritional, or cardiometabolic ...
Cardiac rehabilitation availability and delivery in Brazil: a comparison to other upper middle-income countries.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Brazil has insufficient cardiac rehabilitation capacity, yet density and regional variation in unmet need is unknown. Moreover, South America has CR guidelines, but whether delivery conforms has not been described. This ...
Dynamic communications between GABA A switch, local connectivity, and synapses during cortical development: A computational study
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2018 , Article)
Several factors regulate cortical development, such as changes in local connectivity and the influences of dynamical synapses. In this study, we simulated various factors affecting the regulation of neural network activity ...
Nanofibers of resorcinol–formaldehyde for effective adsorption of As (III) ions from mimicked effluents
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, the core–shell structured RF/PVA nanofibers have been developed and used for the adsorption of As3+ ions from the mimicked liquid effluents. Efficient-facile fabrication of the structured nanofibers ...
A theoretical and experimental study of fast lower bounds for the two-dimensional bin packing problem
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Article)
We address the two-dimensional bin packing problem with fixed orientation. This problem requires packing a set of small rectangular items into a minimum number of standard two-dimensional bins. It is a notoriously intractable ...
Analysis of change orders in Qatari construction projects
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Change orders affect the performance of construction projects and may induce significant cost overruns. The paper identifies the main causes/factors that lead to change orders in Qatari construction projects. It also ...
Towards achieving nanofinish on silicon (Si) wafer by ?-wire electro-discharge machining
(
Springer London
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the use of nanopowder-mixed dielectric oil and temporary metallic coating on highly doped Si sample to achieve nanometric surface roughness using ?-WEDM operation. To achieve this, two different ...
Kinetics of CO2 Adsorption/Desorption of Polyethyleneimine-Mesoporous Silica
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The kinetics of adsorption of CO2 on solid sorbents based on polyethyleneimine/mesoporous silica (PEI/MPS) was studied by following the mass gain during CO2 flow. Linear (PEI-423) and branched (PEI-10k) polymers were ...
Leveraging “Green” Human Resource Practices to Enable Environmental and Organizational Performance: Evidence from the Qatari Oil and Gas Industry
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Despite the theoretically important role of green human resource management (HRM), relatively little research has been discovered so far about this role particularly in the Oil and Gas industry. We contribute to fill this ...
Epinephrine in anaphylaxis: Preclinical study of pharmacokinetics after sublingual administration of taste-masked tablets for potential pediatric use
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Epinephrine is a life-saving treatment in anaphylaxis. In community settings, a first-aid dose of epinephrine is injected from an auto-injector (EAI). Needle phobia highly contributes to EAI underuse, leading to ...
