The rising danger of heat waves by Nature Research (16552612)

“…According to the model, heat waves are most likely to occur in Qatar’s northern coastal region, largely because of increased humidity and temperature as a result of air pollution from expansion of the oil and gas industries. …”

Potential of Fuel Consumption Saving of Brayton Waste Heat Recovery Systems on Series Hybrid Electric Vehicles by Bou Nader, Wissam

“…Therefore, the resulting high exhaust gas temperature presents the advantage of increased WHR efficiency. Brayton cycle offers a relative reduced weight compared to other WHR systems and present low complexity for integration in vehicles since it relies on open system architecture with air as working fluid, which consequently avoid the need for a condenser compared to Rankine systems. …”

Utilization of the internet for physical activity and diet information and its influence on pregnant women’s lifestyle habits in Qatar by Ayman Al-Dahshan (8962568)

“…</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Many pregnant women use the internet to access information about PA and diet, and greater use is associated with more positive lifestyle changes. …”

Phase state of secondary organic aerosol in chamber photo-oxidation of mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…Considering the combining role of the RH and chemical composition in aerosol phase state, the BF decreased monotonically with increasing hygroscopic growth factor (GF), and the BF was ∼ 0 when GF was larger than 1.15. …”

Optimisation of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance Based and Periodic Based Approaches by ALHAJERI, RASHED ABDULLA

“…Although the biggest costs involved in this technology is the installation/capital costs, the subsequent running costs (although less than traditional sources of energy) such as cleaning and maintenance can increase or decrease the feasibility of these panels. …”

Internet Searches for Medical Symptoms Before Seeking Information on 12-Step Addiction Treatment Programs: A Web-Search Log Analysis by George Nitzburg (18614989)

“…Second, we examined symptom queries preceding queries on the 12-step program at time lags of 0-7 days, 7-14 days, and 14-30 days, where the probability of asking about a medical symptom was greater in the 30-day time window preceding 12-step program information-seeking as compared to all previous times that the symptom was queried.…”

Comparison of the clinical outcomes of non-invasive ventilation by helmet vs facemask in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome by Mohamad Y. Khatib (11659459)

“…However, some of the limitations of the NIV face mask were air leak, face mask intolerance, and requirement of high positive end expiratory pressure, which could be resolved with the use of the helmet NIV. …”

Climate Change Implications for Optimal Sizing of Residential Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Systems in Qatar by Muhammad Imran Khan (614396)

“…Techno-economic optimization in HOMER Pro (version 3.10) verifies a grid-connected rooftop PV system as optimal in all years, with capacity expanding from 7.4 kW to 8.2 kW between 2002 and 2100 to meet rising air conditioning loads. However, as temperatures increase, PV’s energy contribution declines slightly from 18% to 16% due to climate change degrading solar yields. …”
