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. …”

Downlink Interference Analysis of UAV-Based mmWave Fronthaul for Small Cell Networks by Dabiri, Mohammad Taghi

“…The results show that, in the presence of UAV's fluctuations, optimizing radiation pattern shape requires balancing an inherent tradeoff between increasing pattern gain to reduce the interference as well as to compensate large path loss at mmWave frequencies and decreasing it to alleviate the adverse effect of a UAV's vibrations.…”
