Basin of Attraction through Invariant Curves and Dominant Functions by Alsharawi, Ziyad

“…We study a second-order difference equation of the form z<inf>n+1</inf> = z<inf>n</inf> F (z<inf>n-1</inf>) + h, where both F (z) and z F (z) are decreasing. We consider a set of invariant curves at h = 1 and use it to characterize the behaviour of solutions when h > 1 and when 0 < h < 1. …”

Application of Low-Fermenting Yeast Lachancea thermotolerans for the Control of Toxigenic Fungi Aspergillus parasiticus, Penicillium verrucosum and Fusarium graminearum and Their M... by Randa Zeidan (14778388)

“…Very interestingly, it was shown that even 7 yeast colonies reduced <i>Fusarium’s</i> growth and the synthesis of its mycotoxin, deoxynivalenol (DON). Moreover, decreasing yeast nutrient concentrations did not affect the inhibition of fungal growth, but reduced DON synthesis. …”

Associations between Bone Mineral Density and WOMAC Scores in Healthy Individuals: Insights from the Qatar Biobank by Al-Hamdani, Mohammed

“…Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors, total body BMD and BMD related to specific skeletal sites (including femoral (femoral neck and trochanter), trunk, pelvis and total spine), and the three WOMAC subscales (pain, stiffness, and physical function).Results: After controlling for sociodemographic variables, total body and specific BMD measures did not predict pain. However, BMD measures significantly contributed to predicting stiffness after controlling for sociodemographic variables (R2 = 0.065, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.34, p = 0.002), with a higher total body BMD associated with increased stiffness and a higher trunk BMD associated with decreased stiffness. …”
