Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
A Property Based Approach for Simultaneous Process and Molecular Design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
In this work, property clustering techniques and group contribution methods are combined to enable simultaneous consideration of process performance requirements and molecular property constraints. Using this methodology, ...
Additional clothing increases heat load in elite female Rugby sevens players
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Purpose: To determine whether elite female rugby sevens players are exposed to core temperatures (Tc) during training in the heat that replicate the temperate match demands previously reported and to investigate whether ...
Limiting Rise in Heat Load With an Ice Vest During Elite Female Rugby Sevens Warm-Ups
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Purpose: To determine the effect of wearing a phase-change cooling vest in elite female rugby sevens athletes during (1) a simulated match-day warm-up in hot conditions prior to a training session and (2) a prematch warm-up ...
Thirty Days of Montmorency Tart Cherry Supplementation Has No Effect on Gut Microbiome Composition, Inflammation, or Glycemic Control in Healthy Adults
(
Frontiers Media SA
, 2021 , Article)
Tart cherries possess properties that may reduce inflammation and improve glycemic control, however human data on supplementation and the gut microbiota is equivocal. Processing (i.e., juice concentrate, dried, frozen) may ...
The influence of environmental and core temperature on cyclooxygenase and PGE2 in healthy humans
(
Springer Nature
, 2021 , Article)
Whether cyclooxygenase (COX)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) thermoregulatory pathways, observed in rodents, present in humans? Participants (n = 9) were exposed to three environments; cold (20 °C), thermoneutral (30 °C) and hot ...
Reference Walking Speeds for Healthy Young Adults in Qatar: Moderating Effect of Obesity and Physical Activity
(
SAGE
, 2022 , Article)
Walking speed (WS) is considered an important indicator for overall health. Despite this, there is a paucity of data relating to WS values in the Arab region. The present study aims to establish preferred (PWS) and maximal ...
Digitally-tuned resolver converter
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Sinusoidal encoders provide electrical signals related to the sine and cosine of the mechanical shaft angle θ. An analog converter is described for the linearization of these signals and hence for linear computation of θ. ...
Changes in core temperature during an elite female rugby sevens tournament
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: To characterize player core temperature (Tc) across a World Rugby Women's Sevens Series tournament day (WRWSS) and determine the efficacy of commonly employed cold-water-immersion (CWI) protocols. Methods: Tc was ...
Pharmacological hypotheses: Is acetaminophen selective in its cyclooxygenase inhibition?
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2021 , Article)
The precise mechanistic action of acetaminophen (ACT; paracetamol) remains debated. ACT’s analgesic and antipyretic actions are attributed to cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition preventing prostaglandin (PG) synthesis. Two COX ...
