( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Microbial contaminations are responsible for many chronic, healthcare, persistent microbial infections and illnesses in the food sector, therefore their control is an important public health challenge. Over the past few ... -
Essential Role of Complement in Pregnancy: From Implantation to Parturition and Beyond
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2020 , Article)The complement cascade was identified over 100 years ago, yet investigation of its role in pregnancy remains an area of intense research. Complement inhibitors at the maternal-fetal interface prevent inappropriate complement ... -
Essential Role of Sperm-Specific PLC-Zeta in Egg Activation and Male Factor Infertility: An Update.
( Frontiers Media , 2020 , Article Review)Sperm-specific phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ) is widely considered to be the physiological stimulus responsible for generating calcium (Ca) oscillations that induce egg activation and early embryonic development during mammalian ... -
Establishing comprehensive forensic mental health services in Qatar
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Qatar has experienced exponential economic and healthcare infrastructural development recently. Mental health has been prioritized for development by the state with the launching of the ambitious National Mental Health ... -

( BMC , 2013 , Article)Background: This study sought to compare the utility of either inverted body mass index or body mass index to optimise the relationship with body esteem in young adolescents Design: The study was cross sectional in design ... -
Establishing trust in cloud computing
( IEEE Computer Society , 2010 , Article)How can cloud providers earn their customers' trust when a third party is processing sensitive data in a remote machine located in various countries? Emerging technologies can help address the challenges of trust in cloud ... -
Estimates of global SARS-CoV-2 infection exposure, infection morbidity, and infection mortality rates in 2020
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)We aimed to estimate, albeit crudely and provisionally, national, regional, and global proportions of respective populations that have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the first year after the introduction of this virus ... -
Estimating blood pressure from the photoplethysmogram signal and demographic features using machine learning techniques
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)Hypertension is a potentially unsafe health ailment, which can be indicated directly from the blood pressure (BP). Hypertension always leads to other health complications. Continuous monitoring of BP is very important; ... -
Estimating carbon dynamics in an intact lowland mixed dipterocarp forest using a forest carbon model
( MDPI AG , 2017 , Article)Intact dipterocarp forests in Asia act as crucial carbon (C) reservoirs, and it is therefore important to investigate the C dynamics in these forests. We estimated C dynamics, together with net ecosystem production (NEP), ... -
Estimating design effort for the compressor design department: a case study at Pratt & Whitney Canada
( Elsevier Ltd , 2009 , Article)The effort required in a design project not only impacts the final cost, but also the project lead-time. This paper presents a case study carried out with the collaboration of Pratt & Whitney Canada, a global leader in the ... -
Estimating protection afforded by prior infection in preventing reinfection: Applying the test-negative study design.
( Oxford University Press , 2023 , Article)The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to use infection testing databases to rapidly estimate effectiveness of prior infection in preventing reinfection ($P{E}_S$) by novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Mathematical modeling ... -
