Adaptive Network Coding over Cognitive Relay Networks حسب Chun, Young Jin

"…Having a small set size increases the probability of having relay cooperation, which comes at the expense of some loss in coding gain, whereas using a large encoding set size decreases the probability of having relay cooperation, but achieves some network coding gains. …"

Timetabling hub-and-spoke parcel distribution inter-facility network حسب 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. …"

Results from the first culturally tailored, multidisciplinary diabetes education in Lebanese adults with type 2 diabetes: effects on self-care and metabolic outcomes حسب 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). …"

Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions حسب 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. …"

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO2 reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts حسب Sun Hee, Yoon

"…The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl− > Br− > I−). On the other hand, the larger the cation size is, the higher is the Eads (i.e., Li+ < K+ < Cs+) but the lower is the Wf (i.e., Cs+ < K+ < Li+). …"

Spectrofluorometric investigations on the solvent effects on the photocyclization reaction of diclofenac حسب 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). …"
