Improving Emergency Response Communication In Race Circuits by Abdull Qader Al Ameri, Asma Muhsen

“…As a fact, the use of communication over radio connection (walkie-talkie) makes great challenge in interpreting reports sent by responders since the noise and different accents in responders’ crews, which might encounter great threat and delay in response time.Furthermore, cameras blind spots and angles might decrease the certainty of the incident scene. In contrast, the proposed emergency response communication system deploys wireless network aside with handheld devices and all other circuit technologies to send or receive instant messages between the control unit and the responders. …”

The efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with medication overuse headaches secondary to chronic migraines (P4.128) by Ahdab, Rechdi

“…Conclusions: Our results show that cathodal tDCS over the visual cortex and anodal tDCS over the left DLPFC have a significant analgesic effect in MOH and effectively decrease the number of severe migraine days. There was also a significant decrease in the consumption of analgesic medications in the DLPFC group and in the pain intensity in the Occipital group. …”

Is board compensation excessive? by Dah, Mustafa A.

“…For companies that overpay, the average excess compensation is greater than $60,000 per director, while directors that are underpaid receive about $33,000 less than predicted. Excess compensation declines over our sample period, which may be consistent with increased director workloads as well as increased scrutiny. …”
