The Effect of Visual Impairment and Its Severity on Vision-Related and Health-Related Quality of Life in Jordan: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study by Jammal, Hisham M.

“…Ocular disease duration of >5 years and progressive VI were significantly associated with lower VFQ-25 composite scores (p= 0.026 and p<0.001) respectively, in patients with VI. Glaucoma had a significantly larger reduction in mean scores of all the VFQ-25 subscales, and the PCS of the SF-12 compared to all other ocular diseases. …”

A robust experimental-based artificial neural network approach for photovoltaic maximum power point identification considering electrical, thermal and meteorological impact by Gowid, Samer

“…Nonetheless, the consideration of irradiance, electrical, thermal, and weather parameters (scenario IV) yielded higher identification accuracy. The results showed a decrease in the MSE of Vmp by 74.3% (from 1.6 V to 0.411 V), and in the MSE of Imp by 95% (from 4.4e−6 A to 2.16e−7 A), respectively. …”

A hybrid piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester from vortex-induced vibrations in fluid-flow; the influence of boundary condition in tuning the harvester by Muthalif, Asan G.A

“…The results show that fully submerging the energy harvester increases the overall added mass, whilst confining it inside a submerged pipe adds stiffness and damping. This means the overall energy harvesting performance decreases with submerging depth and proximity to the boundary. …”

Anticoagulant activity of cellulose nanocrystals from isora plant fibers assembled on cellulose and sio2 substrates via a layer-by-layer approach by Mohan T.

“…The multi-layered structure, adsorbed mass, conformational changes, and anticoagulant activity of sequen-tially deposited anionic (sulfated) CNCs and cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the surfaces of cellulose and SiO2 by LBL deposition were investigated using a quartz crystal microbalance tech-nique. The organization and surface features (i.e., morphology, thickness, wettability) of CNCs ad-sorbed on the surfaces of PEI deposited at different ionic strengths (50-300 mM) of sodium chloride were analysed in detail by profilometry layer-thickness, atomic force microscopy and contact angle measurements. …”

Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants by Bin, Zhou

“…MethodsFor this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or community population-based studies that had measured blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and older. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2015 in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of raised blood pressure for 200 countries. …”
