INVESTIGATION OF SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIABILITY AND CONTAMINATION OF PLASTIC MARINE DEBRIS IN QATAR’S COASTAL WATERS by Abayomi, Oyebamiji Abib

“…The pellets were analyzed for PCBs and PAHs and undeployed pellets were also analyzed at time 0. Adsorbed PCBs and PAHs concentration showed a steady decrease with time, suggesting that contaminated pellets ending in the marine environment release their adsorbed contaminants in less contaminated seawaters revealing a complex OPs dynamic between plastics an seawater as a function of differential concentrations of pollutants. …”

The influence of aeration scheme and aeration rate on the permeate flux for wastewater treatment using membrane bioreactors: Experimental and artificial neural network modeling by Jawad, Jasir

“…The experimental data were used to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model, which showed excellent agreement (R2 = 0.9963) with the data. The average normalized flux decreased as the MLSS concentration increased from 5 to 15 g/L and increased as the aeration rate increased from 0.5 to 1.5 LPM. …”

Low levels of Vitamin D during pregnancy associated with gestational diabetes mellitus and low birth weight: results from the MAASTHI birth cohort by Deepa, R.

“…For every one-unit increase in Vitamin D levels, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) decreased by nearly 18%. Furthermore, causal mediation analysis showed that a decrease in one unit of Vitamin D is associated with a decrease of 0.015 units of fasting blood sugar (FBS) and 0.019 units of postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) as it flows through the mediator variable insulin resistance. …”
