Timetabling hub-and-spoke parcel distribution inter-facility network by Ben-Ayed, Omar

“…The resolving of the problem highly depends on the ability of the analyst to develop intelligent ways to limit the values of decision variables. The model applied to a real-world case is entered in a spreadsheet where the objective function is evaluated for the possible decision variable values; the timetable generated for a newly designed hub-and-spoke network decreased shipping time by around 30% as compared to the timetable of the existing design.…”

Use of Electrical Resistivity Tomography to Study the Impact of Long-Term Application of Sewage Sludge: Case Study of Oued Souhil Experimental Station, Nabeul (Tunisia) by Hechmi, Sarra

“…Laboratory analyses were conducted on soil samples taken in the middle of the treated plots at four depths (0–20 cm), (20–40 cm), and (40–60 cm) for a comparison with the ERT survey result. ERT panels showed a general decrease in soil resistivity below (40 cm) with extremely low resistivity in each plot’s corner, indicating a vertical leaching and a lateral migration of conductive materials in all the treatments. …”

Fibrillar form of α-synuclein-specific scFv antibody inhibits α-synuclein seeds induced aggregation and toxicity by Gupta, Vijay

“…In vitro studies indicated scFvs inhibit the seeding of α-syn aggregation in a time-dependent manner, decreased α-syn seed-induced toxicity in a cell model of PD, and reduced the production of insoluble α-syn phosphorylated at Ser-129 (pS129-α-syn). …”

The association between serum cortisol, thyroid profile, paraoxonase activity, arylesterase activity and anthropometric parameters of undergraduate students under examination stres... by Anjum, Armghan

“…The results showed that overall cortisol level was increased at pre-examination and during examination time intervals as compared to the post examination time interval while PON-1 and ARE were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased. With regards to T4 and TSH, a non-significant (p < 0.05) difference was observed in pre and post examination time interval. …”

Results from the first culturally tailored, multidisciplinary diabetes education in Lebanese adults with type 2 diabetes: effects on self-care and metabolic outcomes by Sukkarieh-Haraty, Ola

“…This pilot-study tested the effect of culturally-tailored education targeting diabetes selfcare on glycemia and cardiovascular risk factors of Lebanese with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (n = 27; Age: 61 ± 10 yrs, 59% males, HbA1c: 8.98 ± 1.38%). Results: Diabetes self-care (Diet, Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose and foot care) improved after 6 months, which was reflected in a significant drop in glycemic levels (HbA1c:-0.5%; FPG: − 38 mg/dl), and cholesterol/HDL ratio (4.45 ± 1.39 vs. 4.06 ± 1.29). …”

Beta-caryophyllene exhibits anti-proliferative effects through apoptosis induction and cell cycle modulation in multiple myeloma cells by Mannino, Federica

Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions by Lazar, M.

“…The frequency downshift, also revealed by the observations, clearly tends to increase in the presence of a Kappa-distributed beam. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations confirm the inhibiting effects of (initially) Kappa-distributed electrons, but these minor effects in the linear and quasi-linear phases unexpectedly lead to significant decreases in the wave energy levels of the (primary) ES fluctuations near the plasma frequency and higher harmonics. …”
