Crunching the numbers of food poisoning in Qatar by Nature Research (16552612)

“…</p><p>The incidence rate of salmonellosis in Qatar in 2012 was 18.1 per 100,000. This rate is comparable to others in countries such as Canada (19.4/100,000), Poland (22.9/100,000) and the US (16.4/100,000).…”

Optimal design of a new vibration absorber setup for randomly forced systems by Issa, Jimmy

“…It is shown that an optimal mass ratio exists, unlike the case of classical absorbers where performance increases with increasing absorber mass. The optimal parameters associated with the optimal mass ratio are calculated and tabulated for a range of primary system damping ratios. …”

A discrete-time stochastic iterative learning control algorithm for a class of nonlinear systems by Saab, S. S.

“…The author also shows that in presence of measurement noise, the state error covariance matrix converges to zero as the number of learning iterations increases. Finally, a numerical example is given that compares the performance of the proposed algorithm to a conventional ILC algorithm.…”

Design of a vibration absorber for harmonically forced damped systems by Issa, Jimmy

“…The optimal absorber parameters are obtained with the aim of minimizing the maximum of the primary system frequency response. For a given damping ratio of the primary system and mass ratio of the system, the optimal stiffness and damping ratios of the absorber are calculated numerically. …”

An Investigative Study into the Socialization and Learning of Children at a Preschool in Dubai, U.A.E. and the Parental Demographic Factors that may Contribute to it by Gandhi, Vandana Kumar

“…It can therefore be inferred that there is low participation and low quality of pre-schooling if compared to powerful knowledge economies, and given the fact that these important years form the foundation of later achievements for the young child, it is imperative that all stake holders and most importantly the government must introduce positive change and reforms and more importantly implement them effectively by increasing participation in this sector.…”
