Acute Effects of Caffeine on Strength Performance in Trained and Untrained Individuals
( SciTechnol , 2015 , Article)Objective: The primary aim of this study was to compare the acute effects of a caffeine based supplement on the strength performance of trained and untrained individuals with a secondary investigation into the effects ... -
Adaptable scheduling of smart building communities with thermal mapping and demand flexibility
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This paper proposes a novel hierarchical optimization framework that couples the balancing problem of a community network with building energy management (BEM) to form an integrated model capable of capturing potential ... -
The Adaptation and Validation of an Arabic Version of the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (A-CSDD)
( IOS Press , 2018 , Article)Background: Depression is a major disorder that can be ttriggering, exacerbating, or co-occurring with dementia symptoms. Its assessment is paramount to achieve diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic decisions. The Cornell ... -
An adaptive allocation sampling design for which the conventional stratified estimator is an appropriate estimator
( Elsevier B.V. , 2009 , Article)Adaptive allocations in stratified sampling design are suitable for studying Biological and Environmental populations. Biologists tend to use the conventional stratified estimator for an adaptive allocation sampling design ... -
Adaptive and unequal probability survey designs for environmental management
( The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc , 2011 , Conference Paper)Designing an efficient large-area survey is a challenge, especially in environmental science when many populations are rare and clustered. Adaptive and unequal probability sampling designs are appealing when populations ... -
Adaptive effects of seeing green environment on psychophysiological parameters when walking or running
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)Several studies have investigated the influence of perceiving colors on affective outcomes and/or performance. However, the effects of seeing colors on self-selected behaviors have received little attention from physiologists ... -
An adaptive Monte Carlo integration algorithm with general division approach
( Elsevier , 2007 , Article)We propose an adaptive Monte Carlo algorithm for estimating multidimensional integrals over a hyper-rectangular region. The algorithm uses iteratively the idea of separating the domain of integration into 2ssubregions. The ... -
Adaptive Sampling
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd , 2015 , Book chapter)Animal populations are often highly grouped. For example, fish can form large, widely scattered schools with few fish in between. Even rare species of animals may form small groups that are hard to find. Applying standard ... -
Adaptive two-stage inverse sampling design to estimate density, abundance, and occupancy of rare and clustered populations
( Public Library of Science , 2021 , Article)Sampling rare and clustered populations is challenging because of the effort required to find rare units. Heuristically, a practitioner would prefer to discontinue sampling in areas where rare units of interest are apparently ... -
Additional records of vector mosquito diversity collected from Al Khor district of North-eastern Qatar
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)ObjectiveTo survey mosquito diversity in the north-eastern area, which includes the most important gas industrial city in Qatar, and to investigate the potential mosquitoes for transmitting diseases. MethodsA study was ... -
Additive manufacturing of Ti-alloy: Thermal analysis and assessment of properties
( SAGE Publications Inc. , 2020 , Article)In this study, 3D printing of Ti6Al4V alloy is realized and the characteristics of the printed layer are examined. The morphological structures and metallurgical changes in the printed layer are assessed. Temperature and ... -
Addressing bias in the definition of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection: implications for underestimation
( Frontiers Media , 2024 , Article)Introduction: Reinfections are increasingly becoming a feature in the epidemiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, accurately defining reinfection poses methodological ... -
Addressing context to understand physical activity among Muslim university students: the role of gender, family, and culture.
( BMC , 2019 , Article)Physical inactivity is a crucial risk factor for the development of chronic health issues, which have a high incidence among Arabs living in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The Qatar Stepwise Survey 2012 ... -
Addressing scale-up challenges and enhancement in performance of hydrogen-producing microbial electrolysis cell through electrode modifications
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article Review)Bioelectrohydrogenesis using a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is a promising technology for simultaneous hydrogen production and wastewater treatment which uses electrogenic microbes. Microbial activity at the anode and ... -
Adhesion characteristics of solution treated environmental dust
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Environmental dust is modified towards self-cleaning applications under the gravitational influence. Dust particles are collected in the local area of Dammam in Saudi Arabia and they are treated with a dilute hydrofluoric ... -
