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. …”

Evidence by ac-conductivity for the higher mobility of boron (over aluminium)-associated Brønsted sites in boron-modified HZSM-5 by Sayed, Moein B.

“…Therefore, for this particular sample the electric data have been discussed in greater detail. Ruling out the perturbing role of dc-conduction, by analysis at both high frequencies and low temperatures where the dc-conduction is minimum, reveals conductivity increasing in the order: B1ZSM-5<B2ZSM-5<B3ZSM-5<B4ZSM-5 and activation energy decreasing in the order: B1ZSM-5>B2ZSM-5>B3ZSM-5>B4ZSM-5. …”
