Turning point in COVID-19 severity and fatality during the pandemic: a national cohort study in Qatar by Chemaitelly, Hiam

“…Conclusion The conclusion of the first omicron wave was a turning point in the severity of the pandemic. While vaccination and enhanced case management reduced severity gradually, the rapid accumulation of natural immunity during the first omicron wave appears to have played a critical role in driving this shift in severity.…”

Impact assessment of non-indigenous jellyfish species on the estuarine community dynamic: A model of medusa phase by Muha, Teja Petra

“…Low water discharge and low nutrient retention rate appear to be the most favourable conditions for B. virginica. The species is a non-selective predator able to integrate into the system effectively and has caused a decrease in the biomass of other organisms in the estuarine ecosystem throughout the summer after dam removal. …”

Effective non-intrusive load monitoring of buildings based on a novel multi-descriptor fusion with dimensionality reduction by Himeur, Yassine

“…This paper presents an efficient non-intrusive load monitoring framework that consists of the following main components: (i) a novel fusion of multiple time-domain features is proposed to extract appliance fingerprints; (ii) a dimensionality reduction scheme is introduced to be applied to the fused time-domain features, which relies on fuzzy-neighbors preserving analysis based QR-decomposition. …”
