Experimental results and modelling of corrosion-damaged concrete beams strengthened with externally-bonded composites by Elghazy M.

“…The FE models were able to capture the non-linear behavior of the strengthened beams. The interfacial bond stress-slip models at the fabric/matrix and composite/concrete interfaces and the number of composite layers had the most significant impact on the predicted response of the strengthened beams whereas the corrosion level, modeled as a reduction in the steel reinforcement cross-section, showed a slight effect on their performance. …”

Insights Into the Role of CircRNAs: Biogenesis, Characterization, Functional, and Clinical Impact in Human Malignancies by Nisar, Sabah

“…Because of the structural stability, high expression, availability of microRNA (miRNA) binding sites and tissue-specific expression, circRNAs have become hot topic of research in RNA biology. Compared to the linear RNA, circRNAs are produced differentially by backsplicing exons or lariat introns from a pre-messenger RNA (mRNA) forming a covalently closed loop structure missing 3′ poly-(A) tail or 5′ cap, rendering them immune to exonuclease-mediated degradation. …”

Investigating the utilization of healthcare services to manage respiratory tract infections (RTIs) among Qatari patients attended selected primary healthcare centers in Qatar by Islam, Nazmul

“…We have found no difference in the month-to-month rates of RTI-related GP visits (per 1000 total visits) over the study period (non-significant decreasing trend). However, there was a significant decreasing trend in the monthly rates of antibiotics consumption and an increasing trend in the tests/investigations done but there was no clear increasing or decreasing trend in the monthly rates of other medications use. …”
