SARS-CoV-2 infection hospitalization, severity, criticality, and fatality rates in Qatar
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality as well as severe economic and societal disruptions. Despite scientific progress, true infection severity, factoring both diagnosed and undiagnosed ... -
Assessment of the Risk of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Reinfection in an Intense Reexposure Setting
( NLM (Medline) , 2021 , Article)BACKGROUND: Risk of reinfection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is unknown. We assessed the risk and incidence rate of documented SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in a cohort of laboratory-confirmed ... -
Portfolio Selection Problem Using CVaR Risk Measures Equipped with DEA, PSO, and ICA Algorithms
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Investors always pay attention to the two factors of return and risk in portfolio optimization. There are different metrics for the calculation of the risk factor, among which the most important one is the Conditional ... -
Functional linear models for interval-valued data
( Taylor and Francis Group , 2022 , Article)Aggregation of large databases in a specific format is a frequently used process to make the data easily manageable. Interval-valued data is one of the data types that is generated by such an aggregation process. Using ... -
Monitoring SEIRD model parameters using MEWMA for the COVID-19 pandemic with application to the state of Qatar
( Taylor and Francis Group , 2021 , Article)During the current COVID-19 pandemic, decision-makers are tasked with implementing and evaluating strategies for both treatment and disease prevention. In order to make effective decisions, they need to simultaneously ... -
A Note on Parabolic Maximal Operators along Surfaces of Revolution via Extrapolation
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Under weak conditions on the kernels, we obtain sharp Lp bounds for rough parabolic maximal integral operators over surfaces of revolution. By virtue of these bounds along with Yano’s extrapolation argument, we confirm the ... -
Factors affecting university image among graduate alumni: A case study of Qatar university
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Various factors influence the students' perception of universities and university image. This study explores five factors affecting university image among Graduate Alumni. Surveys, administered to 597 graduate alumni were ... -
