Nanoclay compatibilization of phase separated polysulfone/polyimide films for oxygen barrier by Ammar, Ali

“…Thermal decomposition (TGA) measurements of PSF/PI films showed a decrease in thermal stability upon adding C30B due to its surfactant modification, while film mechanical tensile modulus properties improved slightly by adding low concentration of C30B (~ 1 mass%), but higher nanoclay loading decreased tensile strength and elongation at break. …”

Investigating the utilization of healthcare services to manage respiratory tract infections (RTIs) among Qatari patients attended selected primary healthcare centers in Qatar by Islam, Nazmul

“…We have found no difference in the month-to-month rates of RTI-related GP visits (per 1000 total visits) over the study period (non-significant decreasing trend). However, there was a significant decreasing trend in the monthly rates of antibiotics consumption and an increasing trend in the tests/investigations done but there was no clear increasing or decreasing trend in the monthly rates of other medications use. …”
