BNT162b2 antigen dose and SARS-CoV-2 omicron infection in adolescents
( Elsevier , 2023 , Other)COVID-19 vaccine antigen dose might affect protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection,1, 2 but direct evidence to quantify this effect is absent. We conducted a matched, retrospective, cohort study using a regression ... -
Boundary optimal (LQ) control of coupled hyperbolic PDEs and ODEs
( Elsevier , 2013 , Article)This contribution addresses the development of a linear quadratic (LQ) regulator for a set of hyperbolic PDEs coupled with a set of ODEs through the boundary. The approach is based on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert ... -
Burden and disease pathogenesis of influenza and other respiratory viruses in diabetic patients
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article Review)Over the past two decades, diabetes mellitus (DM) has been receiving increasing attention among autoimmune diseases. The prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes has increased rapidly and has become one of the leading ... -
Cancer bioenergetics as emerging holistic cancer theory: the role of metabolic fluxes and transport proteins involved in metabolic pathways in the pathogenesis of malignancies. State-of-the-art and future prospects
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Cancer represents a global health concern, imposing a severe burden both from a societal and clinical perspective. Despite the latest advancements and achievements in the treatment and management of malignancy, cancer still ... -
Cardiac function and blood flow hemodynamics assessment of zebrafish (Danio rerio) using high-speed video microscopy
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)BackgroundIn the last few decades, zebrafish (Danio rerio) were introduced as a model organism to investigate human diseases including cardiovascular and neuronal disorders. In most zebrafish investigations, cardiac function ... -
Catalytic activity of photocharged binary TiO2 and WO3 membrane filters: Effect of Al2O3 interlayer on direct vs. mediated electron transfers
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)One of the challenges facing the practical application of photocatalysis is the termination of catalytic reactions in the absence of irradiation. This study synthesizes photo-charged TiO2/WO3 (TW) and TiO2/Al2O3/WO3 (TAW) ... -
Catalytic C-H oxidations by nonheme mononuclear Fe(II) complexes of two pentadentate ligands: Evidence for an Fe(IV) oxo intermediate
