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. …”

MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR GEAR FAULT DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS by HIJAWI,ULA MUTASIM

“…ML-based techniques for facility condition monitoring are investigated and presented in a comparative analysis. Using convolutional layers, network parameters are greatly decreased in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) by local connectivity and exchanging weights, which comprise a group of kernels with a limited receptive area, unlike a typical neural network with a complete connection through each node. …”

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model. by Al-Kandari, Halema

“…For the RGOTi, the no observed effect concentration (NOEC, mortality/teratogenicity score <20%) and the median lethal concentration (LC) were <400 and 748.6 mg/L, respectively. H₂RGOTi showed a NOEC similar to RGOTi. However, no significant mortality was detected at all concentrations used in the acutoxicity assay (up to1000 mg/L), thus indicating a hypothetical LC higher than 1000 mg/L. …”
