Variations in the temperature sensitivity of spring leaf phenology from 1978 to 2014 in Mudanjiang, China by Dai J.

“…On average, ST increased by 16%, from − 2.8 ± 0.83 days °C−1 during 1980–1994 to − 3.30 ± 0.65 days °C−1 during 2000–2014. For species with later LUD and longer OP, ST tended to increase more, while species with earlier LUD and shorter OP tended to display a decreasing ST. …”

Energy optimization for bidirectional multimedia communication in unsynchronized TDD systems by Zorba, Nizar

“…One of the main advantages of TDD is the possibility for load compensation between UL and DL, by allocating a larger percentage of time for the operation in DL if the system is congested in DL, and vice versa. …”

Investigation of Spatiotemporal Variability of Microplastics in Qatar's Cstal Environment by Ben-Hamadou, Radhouane

“…Adsorbed PCBs and PAHs concentration showed a steady decrease with time, suggesting that contaminated pellets ending in the marine environment release their adsorbed contaminants in less contaminated seawaters revealing a complex OPs dynamic between plastics an seawater as a function of differential concentrations of pollutants and environmental conditions. …”

Mobile Epifauna Associated To Artificial Substrates In Offshore Qatari Waters by Abdulaziz Aziz, Naeem

“…Multivariate analysis for abundance and biomass showed that both Site and Depth, as well as their interaction, had significant effects on the mobile macrofaunal community. A general trend of total abundance and average number of taxa decreasing with depth was observed, although with some notable exceptions. …”

Intermediate ozonation to enhance biogas production in batch and continuous systems using animal dung and agricultural waste by Almomani, F.

“…Increasing the OLR increased the accumulation of volatile fatty acids in the system and resulted in decreased methane production. Two-stage AD with an intermediate ozonation process showed a significant increase in CMP and %ADefficiency compared with single-stage AD. …”

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. …”

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). …”

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. …”
