A snapshot of current medical research: The notion of supply and demand by Almutairi, Adel F.

“…The fever for publication has led to a number of predatory journals on the Internet that accepts papers for the sake of making money, regardless of their quality and originality. Therefore, it is time to be more selective and innovative with our research in order to have a significant positive impact on healthcare services.…”

Doppler broadening spectroscopy of carbon black and carbon black-filled rubbers by Semaan, Mars E.

“…This is due to (1) reduction in positronium formation as carbon black is added to the rubber, and (2) positron trapping at the carbon black–rubber interface, which depends on the carbon black morphology. The S parameter decreases with the carbon black surface area. The S parameter does not depend on the sample mixing time.…”

Produced Water Treatment Using Naturally Abundant Pomegranate Peel by Ibrahim, Taleb

“…The optimum parameters for oil removal were: pH 9.5, adsorbent dose = 2.33 g/L, contact time = 50.0 min, and adsorption temperature = 55.0°C. The results showed that as the adsorbent dosage, pH, and salinity of SPW were increased, the removal efficiency increased. …”

1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene Transformation Reaction Compared With Its Transalkylation Reaction With Toluene Over USY Zeolite by Al-Khattaf, H

“…Kinetic parameters for the 1,2,4-TMB disappearance during the transalkylation reaction and in its conversion into isomerization and disproportionation products were calculated using the catalyst activity decay function based on time on stream (TOS). The apparent activation energies were found to decrease as follows: E-transalkylation > E-isomerization > E-disproportionation.…”

D 2IA: User-defined interval analytics on distributed streams by Awad, Ahmed

“…In most of the cases, data items and events are considered instantaneous, i.e., they are single time points in a discrete temporal domain. Nevertheless, a point-based time semantics does not satisfy the requirements of a number of use-cases. …”

Managing Endothelial Dysfunction in COVID-19 by Matli, Kamal

“…Conclusion Among patients hospitalized with mild, moderate, or severe COVID-19 infection, targeting endothelial dysfunction by administering Nicorandil, L-arginine, Folate, Nebivolol, and Atorvastatin on top of optimal medical therapy did not decrease time to recovery. However, this treatment protocol was associated with an excellent safety profile. …”

Transforming growth factor-β1 and phosphatases modulate COX-2 protein expression and TAU phosphorylation in cultured immortalized podocytes by Abdallah, Maya S.

“…Time course experiments showed that TGF-β1 activated p38 MAPK after 5 min of stimulation. Interestingly, podocyte co-incubated with TGF-β1, high glucose and/or PGE2 showed strong increase in p38 MAPK and AKT phosphorylation as well as COX- 2 protein expression levels. …”
