The nexus between debt structure, firm performance, and the financial crisis: non-linear panel data evidence from Japan by Zeitun, Rami

“…In addition, there is a U-shaped relationship between firm performance and short-term debt, suggesting that a firm's profit decreases at lower levels of short-term debt (below 45.2%) and increases at higher levels of debt with short-term maturity. …”

Seroprevalence of camel brucellosis in Qatar by Alhussain, Hashim

“…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 (P = 0.02). …”

Thermally assisted efficient electrochemical lithium extraction from simulated seawater by Yanxi, Yu

“…Furthermore, the coupled thermal-driven membrane process in the system can also produce freshwater (13.2 kg m-2 h-1) as a byproduct. Given abundant low-grade thermal energy availability, the thermally assisted electrochemical lithium extraction process has excellent potential to realize mining lithium from seawater.…”

MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR GEAR FAULT DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS by HIJAWI,ULA MUTASIM

“…ML-based techniques for facility condition monitoring are investigated and presented in a comparative analysis. Using convolutional layers, network parameters are greatly decreased in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) by local connectivity and exchanging weights, which comprise a group of kernels with a limited receptive area, unlike a typical neural network with a complete connection through each node. …”

Mitigating Cardiotoxicity of Dendrimers: Angiotensin-(1-7) via Its Mas Receptor Ameliorates PAMAM-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction in the Isolated Mammalian Heart by Akhtar, Saghir

“…Herein, we investigated (a) the effect of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer generation (G7, G6, G5, G4 and G3) and surface chemistry (-NH2, -COOH and -OH) on cardiac function in mammalian hearts following ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, and (b) determined if any PAMAM-induced cardiotoxicity could be mitigated by Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7), a cardioprotective agent. …”
