Dynamic communications between GABA A switch, local connectivity, and synapses during cortical development: A computational study
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2018 , Article)
Several factors regulate cortical development, such as changes in local connectivity and the influences of dynamical synapses. In this study, we simulated various factors affecting the regulation of neural network activity ...
Nanofibers of resorcinol–formaldehyde for effective adsorption of As (III) ions from mimicked effluents
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, the core–shell structured RF/PVA nanofibers have been developed and used for the adsorption of As3+ ions from the mimicked liquid effluents. Efficient-facile fabrication of the structured nanofibers ...
A theoretical and experimental study of fast lower bounds for the two-dimensional bin packing problem
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Article)
We address the two-dimensional bin packing problem with fixed orientation. This problem requires packing a set of small rectangular items into a minimum number of standard two-dimensional bins. It is a notoriously intractable ...
Analysis of change orders in Qatari construction projects
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Change orders affect the performance of construction projects and may induce significant cost overruns. The paper identifies the main causes/factors that lead to change orders in Qatari construction projects. It also ...
Towards achieving nanofinish on silicon (Si) wafer by ?-wire electro-discharge machining
(
Springer London
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the use of nanopowder-mixed dielectric oil and temporary metallic coating on highly doped Si sample to achieve nanometric surface roughness using ?-WEDM operation. To achieve this, two different ...
Kinetics of CO2 Adsorption/Desorption of Polyethyleneimine-Mesoporous Silica
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
The kinetics of adsorption of CO2 on solid sorbents based on polyethyleneimine/mesoporous silica (PEI/MPS) was studied by following the mass gain during CO2 flow. Linear (PEI-423) and branched (PEI-10k) polymers were ...
Leveraging “Green” Human Resource Practices to Enable Environmental and Organizational Performance: Evidence from the Qatari Oil and Gas Industry
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Despite the theoretically important role of green human resource management (HRM), relatively little research has been discovered so far about this role particularly in the Oil and Gas industry. We contribute to fill this ...
Epinephrine in anaphylaxis: Preclinical study of pharmacokinetics after sublingual administration of taste-masked tablets for potential pediatric use
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Epinephrine is a life-saving treatment in anaphylaxis. In community settings, a first-aid dose of epinephrine is injected from an auto-injector (EAI). Needle phobia highly contributes to EAI underuse, leading to ...
Dynamic workload patterns prediction for proactive auto-scaling of web applications
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
Proactive auto-scaling methods dynamically manage the resources for an application according to the current and future load predictions to preserve the desired performance at a reduced cost. However, auto-scaling web ...
Prevalence and predictors of digoxin utilization among heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction in Qatar
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
Background Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that is recommended by clinical practice guidelines to be used in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who still have persistent symptoms despite ...
