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. …”

The status of forward osmosis technology implementation by Awad, Abdelrahman M.

“…The outcomes of 15 studies conducted at pilot scale revealed the energy associated with the draw solution (DS) recovery to present a significant barrier to implementation of the technology, with a 40–50% decrease in energy consumption required for the DS recovery step for the process to successfully compete with classical reverse osmosis (RO) based processes. …”

Pilot-scale petroleum refinery wastewaters treatment systems: performance and microbial communities' analysis by Karray, Fatma

“…The reduction of the COD, BOD5, phenols, and the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) reached 82.10%, 85.87%, 91.63%, and 81.11%, respectively at high hydraulic residence time (HRT = 10 days). Decreasing HRT to 5 and 2.5 days led to a decrease in the efficiency of the process and a decrease in biomass concentration was also observed (<1000 mg/l). …”

Influence of the heteroatom on the optoelectronic properties and transistor performance of soluble thiophene-, selenophene- and tellurophene-vinylene copolymers by Al-Hashimi, Mohammed

“…The optical band gap of the polymers is shown to systematically decrease as the size of the heteroatom is increased, mainly as a result of a stabilization of the LUMO energy, resulting in a small band gap of 1.4 eV for P3TeV. …”
