Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes by Abushanab, Dina

“…The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable risk factors, including reduced incidence of T2D, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), decreased number of smokers, and reduced total cholesterol. …”

A thermodynamic study of propanol reforming in presence of hydrazine for hydrogen production by Kumar, Anand

“…Thermodynamic analysis of hydrogen production from propanol reforming reactions, by decomposition and steam reforming, in presence of hydrazine was evaluated as a function of temperature (300-900 K) at a constant pressure of 1 atm. The molar ratio of reactants were varied to identify the conditions leading to hydrogen rich product stream with low carbon formation. …”

Effects of Fine-Grained Particles' Migration and Clogging in Porous Media on Gas Production from Hydrate-Bearing Sediments by Jung, Jongwon

“…The results show that (1) the concentration of fine particles required to form clogging and/or bridging in pores decreased with the decrease in fine particle-pore throat size ratio, (2) the effects of ionic concentration of fluid on clogging behaviors depend on the types of fine particles, and (3) fine particles prefer to accumulate along the deionized water- (DW-) CO2 interface and migrate together, which in turn easily causes clogging in pores. …”
