Optimization of Viscoelastic Metamaterials for Vibration Attenuation Properties
(
World Scientific
, 2020 , Article)
Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
Resin bonded bridges in patients with hypodontia: Clinical performance over a 7 year observation period
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose
Resin bonded bridges (RBBs) are considered a conservative option in the management of hypodontia. This study targeted to analyze the survival of resin bonded bridges provided to patients with Hypodontia by staff ...
Investigating the structural impacts of a novel missense variant identified with whole exome sequencing in an Egyptian patient with propionic acidemia
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Propionic Acidemia (PA) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by variants in the or genes, leading to mitochondrial accumulation of propionyl-CoA and its by-products. Here, we report a 2 year-old Egyptian boy with PA ...

(
Frontiers Media SA
, 2020 , Article)
Understanding the environmental drivers of movement patterns are critical to the protection, management and recovery of endangered species. The Arabian Gulf is considered to be the hottest marine system in the world and ...
Impact of the geometric field of view on drivers’ speed perception and lateral position in driving simulators
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Driving simulators have become an effective tool in road safety research. In recent years, the validity of simulators raised debates concerning the extant to which driving in the simulator resembles driving in the reality. ...
Dynamic travel information strategies in advance traveler information systems and their effect on route choices along highways
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Advance Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) inform drivers about traffic incidences and expected travel times/ delays en-route. An online computer study was conducted in Qatar to investigate drivers' willingness ...
Epigenetic and breast cancer therapy: Promising diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article Review)
The global burden of breast cancer (BC) is increasing significantly. This trend is caused by several factors such as late diagnosis, limited treatment options for certain BC subtypes, drug resistance which all lead to poor ...
Empirical evaluation of drivers’ start-up behavior at signalized intersection using driving simulator
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Start-up behavior at signalized intersection mainly depends on perception reaction time of drivers to the green phase. This study investigated the start-up behavior at signalized intersections by considering reaction time, ...
