Anatomy of a Severe Dust Storm in the Middle East: Impacts on Aerosol Optical Properties and Radiation Budget by Christos Fountoukis (4722963)

“…In agreement with satellite-derived estimates, the model predicted a significant storm-induced reduction in the shortwave radiation (150 to 300 W m–2) reaching the eastern Arabian Peninsula, and the Gulf waters, and a considerable drop in the precipitable water (by a factor of 6) between 01 and 03 of April 2015. …”

LASER INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY OF GEOLOGICAL SAMPLES by Gondal, M. A.

“…This method is based on the study of plasma resulting from interaction of intense laser radiation with sample medium. This technique is demonstrated to be able to detect all the significant major and trace elements including Ni, Cu, Mg, Mo, Cr, K, Na, Ca and Fe, present in the rock samples collected from different parts of the Arabian shield. …”

Proteomic analysis of treatment-resistant, stem-like cancer cells. by Abou-Antoun, Tamara J.

“…We further propose that both tumorspheres and committed cells respond to the stress of radiotherapy by up-regulating survivin, perhaps as a survival mechanism to evade radiation-induced apoptosis. We propose that a stressor to the primary tumor will induce the transitional cell phenotype and may account for both the resistant late recurrences and metastatic deposits observed in high-risk tumors.…”

Effects of habitat complexity on the abundance, species richness and size of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) in artificial vegetation by Bartholomew, Aaron

“…Increasing complexity appeared to lead to decreasing beetle widths. 9 beetle species were relatively rare in, or absent from, the higher complexity treatments, including 5 of the 6 largest species. 2 rare, small beetle species were only found in higher complexity treatments. …”

Influenza prevalence and vaccine efficacy among diabetic patients in Qatar by Swapna, Thomas

“…Among the typed IVA-positive cases, 33.4% were H1N1, and 7.7% were H3N2. A significant decrease in influenza infections was reported in vaccinated DM patients (14.5%) when compared to non-vaccinated patients (18.9%) (p-value = 0.006). …”

Why do some countries produce more capital intensive output than others? by Toukan, Amjad

“…Based on my model I offer an explanation for the variation in physical capital intensity across countries where the model predictions show that a lower quality of governance in a country results in a decrease in the output of capital-intensive goods and an increase in the output of labor-intensive goods. …”

Qatar’s immigrants at higher risk of diabetes by Nature Research (16552612)

“…The researchers stress, however, that their preliminary results should be confirmed in future studies involving larger numbers of participants. 1 “We would advise the Qatari government to screen all immigrants entering the country, as this would decrease the risk of unnecessary complications due to the late diagnosis of diabetes,” says lead author Dennis Mook-Nakamori. …”

Quantitative imaging of lymph function by Sharma, Ruchi

“…The etiology for trauma-associated, acquired lymphedema is thought to arise from the interruption of lymph channels coupled with postsurgical infection or radiation-induced skin reaction. The onset of symptoms, however, can occur from days, weeks, to years following the initial trauma, striking at a rate cited between 6 and 62.5% of breast cancer survivors who have undergone axillary lymph node dissection (1, 26, 38), up to 64% of all patients who undergo groin dissections (8), and 25% of all radical hysterectomy patients (4). …”
