Spectrofluorometric investigations on the solvent effects on the photocyclization reaction of diclofenac by Abdulilah Dawoud, Bani-Yaseen

“…The solvent effects were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed employing various solvatochromic models, including multi-parameter linear regression analysis (MLRA). Interestingly, the MLRA results (R = 0.99) revealed that the photoconversion rate increases with increasing solvent polarizability (π*) and H-bond donor capability (α), whereas the rate decreases with increasing hydrogen-bond acceptor capability (β). …”

Minimizing energy consumption of IoT devices for O-RAN based IoT systems by Wang, Liping

“…Although the traditional edge network architecture has been extensively employed, it continues to pose challenges in terms of synchronizing the integration of global and local information for the design of an optimal offloading strategy in edge servers, thus hindering the reduction of latency and energy consumption in IoT devices. In an effort to decrease the latency and energy consumption of IoT devices (IoTDs), we propose a computation offloading problem and employs the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm to convert the non-convex problem into a convex problem. …”

Plasma volume variations in response to high intensity interval training in obese women: The influential role of menopausal status and age by Jabbour, Georges

“…For all women pre- and post-HIIT comparisons revealed significant differences in the extent of PV reduction at all two points (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age was a significant contributor to the decreases in plasma volume (PV) observed both after warm-up and following the supramaximal cycling test - SCT (r = 0.44 and r = 0.57). …”
