Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…In such a case, distribution of resources through a number of temporary facilities, located near the demand centers can significantly improve the distribution process thereby decreasing the supply response time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a network flow model for emergency response planning which provides location and allocation plans of temporary distribution facilities for short distribution periods in the planning horizon. …”

Profiling of the Differentially Expressed Genes of Inflammation and Angiogenesis of Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells Evoked by Cell Injury In-Vitro to Mimic Acute Ischem... by Al Hamed, Fatima Alzahra Mahmoud

“…Acute IS (AIS) injury of PHBMEC is not well characterized in terms of its consequences on cell functions using genomic function profiling. In our study, we aimed to establish a new model of an acute in-vitro ischemic stroke, within a time limit of 2 hrs., with depriving whole nutrients and not just glucose, under hypoxic condition, in a model we created as oxygen nutrients deprivation (OND). …”

Who needs RDD? Combining directory listings with cell phone exchanges for an alternative telephone sampling frame by Guterbock, Thomas

“…Nevertheless, EWP samples have distinct advantages whenever a survey is aimed at a restricted geographic area.This paper considers the feasibility of combining EWP samples with cell-phone RDD, eliminating the ordinary RDD component from the sampling frame. We analyze the components of the telephone population, showing that the proposed method would fail to cover only one segment of the telephone population: unlisted landline households that have no cell phone. …”

Methylmercury, Trace Metals, Organotins and Their Effects on the Qatari Mangrove Shrimp, Palaemon khori by Hassan, Hassan

“…The Qatari mangroves of Al-Khor are being increasingly exposed to a wide variety of anthropogenic pollutants due to land reclamation and urban expansion. In this study, we evaluated the lethal and genotoxic effects of methylmercury, trace metals, and organotins, assessing mortality and aneuploidy levels (abnormal number of chromosomes) in the endemic shrimp Palaemon khori under laboratory conditions. …”

Identification of an amino-terminus determinant critical for ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel function. by Seidel, Monika

“…The negatively-charged side chains of two aspartate residues (D179 and D180) within the β8-β9 loop are crucial for the N-terminal inter-subunit interaction. We also show that the RyR2 N-terminus domain interacts with the C-terminal channel pore region in a Ca2+-independent manner. …”
