Minimizing energy consumption of IoT devices for O-RAN based IoT systems by Wang, Liping

“…Although the traditional edge network architecture has been extensively employed, it continues to pose challenges in terms of synchronizing the integration of global and local information for the design of an optimal offloading strategy in edge servers, thus hindering the reduction of latency and energy consumption in IoT devices. In an effort to decrease the latency and energy consumption of IoT devices (IoTDs), we propose a computation offloading problem and employs the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm to convert the non-convex problem into a convex problem. …”

The cost associated with the development of the antimicrobial stewardship program in the adult general medicine setting in Qatar by Abushanab, Dina

“…The operational costs decreased with the developed ASP. Whereas antimicrobial consumption and resource utilisation, and their associated costs, appear to have declined with the developed ASP, with a cost saving of QAR458 (US$125) per 100-patient beds, the avoided cost was negative, by QAR4,807 (US$1,317) per 100-patient beds, adding to a total QAR4,224 (US$1,160) increase in the 100-patient beds cost after ASP development. …”

Protein Glycation in Plants-An Under-Researched Field with Much Still to Discover. by Rabbani, Naila

“…Proteomics analysis indicates that there is an enrichment of the amino acid residue targets of glycation, arginine and lysine residues, in predicted functional sites of the plant proteome, suggesting the susceptibility of proteins to functional inactivation by glycation. In this review, we give a brief introduction to glycation, glycating agents and glycation adducts in plants. …”

Effects of acute and chronic exercise on immunological parameters in the elderly aged: Can physical activity counteract the effects of aging? by Sellami M.

“…The concept is that some lifestyle strategies such as high-intensity exercise training may prevent disease through the attenuation of immunosenescence. In this context, we take a top-down approach and review the effect of exercise and training on immunological parameters in elderly at rest and during exercise in humans, and how they respond to different modes of training. …”
