Adolescents Surveillance System for Obesity in Europe. A pioneering project to prevent obesity in Italy using e-technology: the ASSO Project Adolescence Surveillance System for Obesity Prevention
(
IADIS
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Adolescents’ obesity is a major concern in our modern life; it could lead to significant increase in the rate of obese in the
future generations and consequently the health budget. The ASSO Project in Italy (Adolescence ...
Uncovering responses of zooplankton community to CO2 acidification in Qatar coastal waters
(
Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The combustion of fossil fuels is pushing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) to unprecedented levels. This rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 is causing global changes, with noticeable increases in temperature, ...
Exergames to Improve Postural Balance in Older People with Dementia
(
Human Kinetics, Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The focus of the study concerns the well-documented increased risk of falling in older adults that can lead sometimes to fatal consequences. Improving posture and motor skills is central to preventing falls. Further ...
Dimensional regularization of the spatial wave function for a singular contact interaction in the relativistic schrodinger equation
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Based on our previous work in PRD 89, 125023 (2014), we stress here (for the first time) the regularization of the spatial wave function for the δ-contact interaction within the relativistic Schrodinger equation. The ...

Introduction: Body image is a psychological construct which refers to self-concept including self-image and feelings an individual perceives regarding his or her body. Several studies have examined how women subjectively ...
Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ...
Enhancing passive UHF RFID backscatter energy using chirp spread spectrum signals and channel shortening
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Performance of passive ultrahigh frequency radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID) systems depends on the energy level of the backscattered signal from the RF tag to the RFID reader. In the indoor environment, the ...
Near infrared plasmonic sensor based on Fano resonance
(
SPIE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
We introduce a compact plasmonic resonator that is capable of generating a Fano resonance in the transmission spectrum. The Fano resonance is observed with its unique lineshape. The proposed design is simple, compact, easy ...
