Cost-Benefit Analysis of Antimicrobial Stewardship Program in the Adult General Medicine Setting in Qatar by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">Patient records were retrospectively reviewed during two periods: premature ASP (i.e. the 12 months following ASP implementation (May 2015-April 2016)), and mature ASP (i.e. the last 12 months of a 5-year ASP implementation in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) (February 2019-January 2020)). …”

CRISPR-Cas Controls Cryptic Prophages by Sooyeon Song (4891132)

“…We show here that the E. coli CRISPR-Cas system is active and serves to inhibit its nine defective (i.e., cryptic) prophages. Specifically, compared to the wild-type strain, reducing the amounts of specific interfering RNAs (crRNA) decreases growth by 40%, increases cell death by 700%, and prevents persister cell resuscitation. …”

Seroprevalence of camel brucellosis in Qatar by Hashim Alhussain (9167136)

“…Camels below breeding age (i.e., < 4 years old) showed decreased seropositivity (3.4%, 95% CI, 0.1–17.8), compared to (22.8%, 95% CI, 17.4–29.0) seropositivity in camels ≥ 4 years of age, with a significant association between age groups and seropositivity (<i>P</i> = 0.02). …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO₂ reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee Yoon (7179263)

“…The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl⁻ > Br⁻ > I⁻). …”

Quantitative Elastohydrodynamic Film-Forming for an Oil/ Refrigerant System by Bair, Scott

Annual performance assessment of an off‐grid and self‐sufficient sustainable climate refuge for hot arid climates by Fariha Niaz (14778319)

“…<p></p><div> <p>To overcome the problem of walking in the scorching heat and to encourage people to use more public transport (ie, trams and metros), the idea of sustainable climate refuge shelter is highly needed. …”

Graph-Guided Regularized Regression of Pacific Ocean Climate Variables to Increase Predictive Skill of Southwestern U.S. Winter Precipitation by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…Recently, promising data-driven approaches have been proposed, but they often suffer from overparameterization and overfitting due to the short observational record, and they often do not account for spatiotemporal dependencies among covariates (i.e., predictors such as sea surface temperatures). …”

Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes by Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

“…More pronounced effect on membrane’s mechanical properties was observed due to compatibility of CNTs with PS matrix when compared to other factors (i.e., changes in the CNT aspect ratio). The water contact angle for PS membranes incorporated with commercial CNT sharply decreased from 73° to 53° (membrane hydrophilization) for membranes with 0.1 and 1.0 wt. % of CNTs, while for the same loading of produced CNTs the water contact angles for the membrane samples increased from 66° to 72°. …”
