Variable Message Sign strategies for Congestion Warning on Motorways
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2018 , Conference Paper)Introduction Motorways are the safest roads by design and regulation. Still, motorways in the European Union accounted for nearly 27,500 fatalities from 2004 to 2013 (Adminaite, Allsop, & Jost, 2015). The likelihood ... -
Variable message sign strategies for congestion warning on motorways - A driving simulator study
( Gioacchino Onorati Editore , 2018 , Article)Congestion and stopped traffic on motorways constitute a potential safety hazard for drivers. In particular, unexpected hard congestion tails are the causes of serious rear-end crashes as they compromise the drivers' ability ... -
Variation in temperature and light but not salinity invokes antioxidant enzyme activities in germinating seeds of Salsola drummondii
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2016 , Article)Seeds with efficient antioxidant defence system show higher germination under stress conditions; however, such information is limited for the halophyte seeds. We therefore studied lipid peroxidation and antioxidant responses ... -
Variation of soil properties with sampling depth in two different light-textured soils after repeated applications of urban sewage sludge
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Semi-arid agricultural soils have increasingly been subjected to urban sewage sludge (USS) applications due to accelerated soil depletion and shortages in manure supply. Research studies addressing USS reuse have mostly ... -
Variations in respiratory syncytial virus activity following the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in Qatar.
( Oxford University Press , 2022 , Article)Despite the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in Qatar in October-December 2020, the detection of RSV was reduced ∼25-fold compared with 2019. This dramatic decrease during the typical RSV season could be related to ... -
Various techniques to enhance distillate output of tubular solar still: A review
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article Review)The necessity of freshwater is rising due to the expanding residents as well as fast urbanization. Besides, concerning the drinking purpose, clean water represents a very crucial role in several applications like batteries, ... -
Vegetation responses to 26 years of warming at Latnjajaure Field Station, northern Sweden
( NRC Research Press , 2021 , Article)Climate change is rapidly warming high latitude and high elevation regions influencing plant community composition. Changes in vegetation composition have motivated the coordination of ecological monitoring networks across ... -
VEGF-121 plasma level as biomarker for response to anti-angiogenetic therapy in recurrent glioblastoma.
( BioMed Central , 2018 , Article)Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) isoforms, particularly the diffusible VEGF-121, could play a major role in the response of recurrent glioblastoma (GB) to anti-angiogenetic treatment with bevacizumab. We hypothesized ... -
Ventilator-associated pneumonia diagnosis: electrochemical sensors for rapid and sensitive detection of pyocyanin
( Springer Nature , 2024 , Article)Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a severe condition in critically ill patients that requires timely diagnosis to improve patient outcomes. In this study, we developed an electrochemical sensor for pyocyanin detection ... -
Venture capital and intellectual property rights effects on innovation in different socio-economic environments: A systematic review and exploration of various contradictive studies
( Inderscience Publishers , 2018 , Article)Academic literature has well discussed the effects of venture capital investment, intellectual property rights and other socio-economic parameters on business innovation. While many scholars emphasise these positive effects, ... -
Vertical and seasonal variations in biofilm formation on plastic substrates in coastal waters of the Black Sea
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Plastic contamination of the marine environment is an increasing concern worldwide. Therefore, it is important to understand the kinetics of biofilms on plastics to study their behavior, fate, and transport pathways in the ... -
Vertically oriented nanoporous block copolymer membranes for oil/water separation and filtration
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)The separation of oil from water and filtration of aqueous solutions and dispersions are critical issues in the processing of waste and contaminated water treatment. Membrane-based technology has been proven as an effective ... -
