Increased Frequency of Severe Hypoglycemia with the Modified-Release Gliclazide Compared to Glimepiride in Diabetic Older Adults; Propensity Score-Adjusted Analysis by Ahmed Fouad Algendy (18102706)

“…The risk of SHEA (Adjusted Odds Ratio AOR 6.74, p=0.002), falls (AOR 1.43, p=0.003), fractures (AOR 1.43, p=0.01), CVEA (AOR 1.66, p< 0.001), recurrent ED admission (AOR 1.39, p=0.002) were significantly higher. At the same time, documented hypoglycemia was insignificantly higher (AOR 1.17, p= 0.444) with gliclazide MR compared to glimepiride. …”

Effective non-intrusive load monitoring of buildings based on a novel multi-descriptor fusion with dimensionality reduction by Yassine Himeur (14158821)

“…This paper presents an efficient non-intrusive load monitoring framework that consists of the following main components: (i) a novel fusion of multiple time-domain features is proposed to extract appliance fingerprints; (ii) a dimensionality reduction scheme is introduced to be applied to the fused time-domain features, which relies on fuzzy-neighbors preserving analysis based QR-decomposition. …”
