The relationship between smartphone use and dry eye disease: A systematic review with a narrative synthesis.
( Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins , 2021 , Article)Emerging research findings suggest a potential relationship between smartphone use (SPU) and dry eye disease (DED), which has not been systematically reviewed. The aim of this study was to systematically review and synthesize ... -
Relationship between social determinants of health and quality of life in low income adults with diabetes in Lebanon
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2023 , Article)Background & objective: Global rates of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are increasing, with the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region having the second highest prevalence in the world. Populations from the MENA region, including ... -
Relationship between the heart rate and E/A ratio in athletic and non-athletic males in different ages
(2011 , Presentation)Introduction: One of the most important effects of regular physical training is the adaptation of the cardiovascular system. The basic importance of the “athlete’s heart” is manifested in two fields, one is the public ... -
Relationship of plant proteins and amino acids within taxonomic categories in Qatari range plants
( Asian Publication Corporation , 2005 , Article)Protein and amino acids of sixty-eight range plants growing wild in Qatar belonging to fifty-six genera and twenty-three families are studied to evaluate their nutritive values -
Relationships between physicians' characteristics and practice-setting factors and their attitude towards drug promotion
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2019 , Article)Purpose This study aims to investigate relationship between attitude and belief of physicians towards drug promotion and their characteristics and practice-setting factors in Sana'a, Yemen. Methods A survey method ... -
Relationships between strategic performance measures, strategic decision-making, and organizational performance: empirical evidence from Canadian public organizations
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)This study investigates the role of strategic performance measures (SPM) in strategic decision-making and their impact on organizational performance. Based on 143 online survey responses from senior administrators across ... -
Relative infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infections, reinfections, and primary infections.
( Springer , 2022 , Article)SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in vaccinated individuals and in those who had a prior infection have been observed globally, but the transmission potential of these infections is unknown. The RT-qPCR cycle threshold ... -
Relative sensitivity of soft-bottom intertidal macrofauna to increased CO2 and experimental stress
( Inter-Research , 2014 , Article)We used a controlled CO2 perturbation experiment to test hypotheses about changes in diversity, composition and structure of soft-bottom intertidal macrobenthic assemblages, under realistic and locally relevant scenarios ... -
The Relative Validity and Reproducibility of Food Frequency Questionnaires in the China Kadoorie Biobank Study
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Background: Short versions of qualitative and quantitative food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) are widely used to assess usual food intake. However, fewer studies evaluated their relative validity and reproducibility in ... -
Relay assignment in multiple source-destination cooperative networks with limited feedback
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Article)We consider in this paper relay assignment for cooperative systems with mutiple source-destination pairs. The objective here is to assign relays to the source-destination pairs in such a way that all pairs achieve the ... -
Relay assignment in network-coded cooperative systems with M-PSK modulation over asymmetric channels
( IEEE , 2010 , Conference Paper)We consider in this paper relay assignment for cooperative systems with multiple two-way relay channels. The nodes corresponding to one two-way relay channel (henceforth referred to as pair) communicate with each other ... -
Relay selection for cooperative underwater acoustic communication systems
( IEEE , 2012 , Conference Paper)In this paper, we consider a multi-carrier and multi-relay underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) system and investigate the relay selection problem. Our channel model is built on an aggregation of both large-scale path ... -
Relay selection in FDD amplify-and-forward cooperative networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)In this paper, the problems of relay selection and distributed beamforming are investigated for bi-directional dual-hop amplify-and-forward frequency-division duplex cooperative wireless networks. When using individual ... -
Relay selection in underlay cognitive networks with fixed transmission power nodes
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2013 , Article)Underlay cognitive networks operate simultaneously with primary networks satisfying stringent interference constraints, which reduces their transmission power and coverage area. To reach remote destinations, secondary ... -
Relay selection schemes to minimise outage in wireless powered communication networks
( Institution of Engineering and Technology , 2016 , Article)In this study, the authors discuss relay selection schemes with the objective to minimise outage probability for a network consisting of a single source, multiple relays and a single destination. The relays are powered by ... -
Relay-Assisted Primary and Secondary Transmissions in Cognitive Radio Networks
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Article)We assume a set of cognitive relay nodes that assists both primary and secondary transmissions in a time-slotted cognitive radio networks. To regulate the channel access of the various nodes in the network, we propose an ... -
Release of colloids in saturated porous media under transient hydro-chemical conditions: A pore-scale study
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The deposition and consequent release of colloids pose a significant challenge to the environment, groundwater quality and human health. Subsurface soil contains numerous types of colloids that exhibit a diverse range of ... -
Release-time aware VM placement
( IEEE , 2014 , Conference Paper)Consolidating virtual machines (VMs) on as few physical machines (PMs) as possible so as to turn into sleep as many PMs as possible can make significant energy savings in cloud centers. Although traditional online bin ... -
