Finding the Nearest Negative Imaginary System with Application to Near-Optimal Controller Design
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we consider the problem of robust stabilization of linear time-invariant systems with respect to unmodeled dynamics and structure uncertainties. To that end, we first present a methodology to find the nearest ...
Sugar-sweetened beverage intakes among adults between 1990 and 2018 in 185 countries
(2023 , Article)
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are associated with cardiometabolic diseases and social inequities. For most nations, recent estimates and trends of intake are not available; nor variation by education or urbanicity. We ...
Serum immune mediators as novel predictors of response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in non-small cell lung cancer patients with high tissue-PD-L1 expression
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2023 , Article)
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) including anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies, have significantly changed the ...
Explainable deep learning model for automatic mulberry leaf disease classification
(
Frontiers Media SA
, 2023 , Article)
Mulberry leaves feed Bombyx mori silkworms to generate silk thread. Diseases that affect mulberry leaves have reduced crop and silk yields in sericulture, which produces 90% of the world’s raw silk. Manual leaf disease ...
Crosslinked chitosan–montmorillonite composite and its magnetized counterpart for the removal of basic fuchsin from wastewater: Parametric optimization using Box-Behnken design
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Treating wastewater polluted with organic dyestuffs is still a challenge. In that vein, facile synthesis of a structurally simple composite of chitosan with montmorillonite (CS-MMT) using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker ...
The effect of post-lunch napping on mood, reaction time, and antioxidant defense during repeated sprint exercice
(
Institute of Sport
, 2021 , Article)
To compare the effects of two nap opportunities (20 and 90 min) to countermeasure the transient naturally occurring increased sleepiness and decreased performances during the post-lunch dip (PLD). Fourteen highly trained ...
Application of Tools of Quality Function Deployment and Modified Balanced Scorecard for Optimal Allocation of Pavement Management Resources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2020 , Article)
Pavement management is a set of tools used to evaluate and maintain pavements so that the pavements can be used safely and effectively over a certain period. Many traditional methods were and are still being used by entities ...
Optimal piezoelectric shunt dampers for non-deterministic substructure vibration control: estimation and parametric investigation
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Piezoelectric (PZT) shunt damping is an effective method to dissipate energy from a vibrating structure; however, most of the applications focus on targeting specific modes for structures vibrating at low-frequency range, ...
Prevalence and correlates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among the elderly in Qatar: A cross-sectional study
(
Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
, 2022 , Article)
Older individuals are more vulnerable to severe coronavirus disease 2019 and medical complications. Vaccination stands as an efficient and safe vanguard against infection. However, negative attitudes and perceptions ...
