CLINICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF GENETIC AND NON-GENETIC FACTORS ON INR NORMALIZATION IN PRE-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF WARFARIN PATIENTS by ELJILANY, ISLAM AHMED SAYED AHMED

“…To optimize the period of preprocedural warfarin interruption to decrease the incidence of bleeding in case of bridging and the incidence of thromboembolism in case of non-bridging, a study was conducted to determine the influence of CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, FII, and FVII genetic polymorphisms and non-genetic factors on INR decline in a cohort of Arabs undergoing a procedure that requires warfarin interruption and developing an algorithm to tailor the duration of warfarin interruption before the procedure. …”

Excess pCO2 and carbonate system geochemistry in surface seawater of the exclusive economic zone of Qatar (Arabian Gulf) by Connor, Izumi

“…The slope suggests that removal of C as CaCO3, organic matter (CH2O) or gas exchange (FCO2) is occurring with a ratio of ΔCaCO3/(ΔCH2O or FCO2) = 1:2.86. The tracer Alk*, defined as the deviation of potential alkalinity (AP) (where AP = TA + 1.26 [NO3]) from conservative potential alkalinity ((ApC), (ApC = S Ap′S′ where A'P and S′ are mean values for the whole surface ocean) has values primarily determined by CaCO3 precipitation and dissolution. …”

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

“…This problem, which comes after generating the network design and before implementing it, is concerned with parcel timetabling. A non-linear model, composed of the shipping-time objective function and the time-precedence constraints, is developed in order to optimise the daily movements of parcels from their origins to their destinations. …”

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. …”

Biocorrosion behavior of biodegradable nanocomposite fibers coated layer-by-layer on AM50 magnesium implant by Abdal-hay, Abdalla

“…The corrosion performance of coated and uncoated coupon samples was investigated by means of electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the AJS 3D membrane fiber layers, particularly the hybrid membrane layers containing a small amount of nHA (3wt.%), induce a higher biocorrosion resistance and effectively decrease the initial degradation rate compared with the neat AM50 coupon samples. …”
