The cost-benefit associated with the maturity of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program versus prematurity in Heart Hospital of Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar
Published 2023“…The most contributing factor was the cost of hospitalization stay (Figure 2).</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">M-ASP was associated with decreased operational and resource costs, but this was outweighed by increased costs of resistance and drug use, which could be due to higher sample size in the M-ASP. …”

Channel Network Control on Seasonal Lake Area Dynamics in Arctic Deltas
Published 2020“…We find that monthly shrinkage rates have a pronounced structured variability around the channel network with the shrinkage rate systematically decreasing farther away from the channels. This pattern of shrinkage is predominantly attributed to a deeper active layer enhancing near-surface connectivity and storage and greater vegetation density closer to the channels leading to increased evapotranspiration rates. …”

Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2...
Published 2024“…For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. …”

Effects of natural organic matter on aggregation kinetics of boron nanoparticles in monovalent and divalent electrolytes
Published 2010“…However, the attachment efficiency kept increasing in the presence of CaCl2 and alginate with the increase in the electrolyte concentration and was greater than unity at >4 mM CaCl2. The destabilization was attributed to bridging of the nanoparticles by the alginate–Ca2+ system. …”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions
Published 2022“…<p dir="ltr">This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong (greater than 25 m/s) wind speed regions. In general, most wind turbines cut off when wind speed is over the cut-out rate; as a result, the power generation of the wind farm decreases. …”
