The association between tobacco use and COVID-19 in Qatar by Ahmad AlMulla (10654461)

“…Smokeless tobacco use, older age (aged 55 + ), being male, non-Qatari, previously diagnosed with heart disease and diabetes were significant risk factors for severe COVID-19. Our data suggests that only smokeless tobacco users may be at an increased risk for severe disease, yet this requires further investigation as other studies have reported smoking to be associated with an increased risk of greater disease severity.…”

Differential water quality in confined and free-flowing water bodies, Lebanon by Korfali, Samira Ibrahim

“…Statistical analysis of the data revealed significant differences in water quality. The differences could be attributed to the fact that whereas the Qaraaoun reservoir is receiving domestic waste discharges that lead to an increase in the CO2 content and a pH decrease, the Nahr-Ibrahim River is influenced by agricultural runoffs and industrial discharges that increase the pH values. …”

Optimal Planning of Distributed Generators and Shunt Capacitors in Isolated Microgrids With Nonlinear Loads by Yazdavar, Ameen H.

“…The effectiveness of the proposed planning approach has been validated using the PG&E 69-bus system, and the followings are observed: 1) the significance of applying suitable fundamental-power-flow and harmonic-power-flow algorithms for isolated microgrids, and 2) the possibility of avoiding a severe voltage distortion by utilizing an appropriate planning method and only small increase in the cost.…”

A memristive all-inclusive hypernetwork for parallel analog deployment of full search space architectures by Bo Lyu (16522643)

“…The hardware performance simulation indicates that the memristive all-inclusive hypernetwork costs slightly more resource consumption (nearly the same in power, 22 % ∼ 25 % increase in Latency, 1 . 5 × in Area) relative to the individual deployment, which is reasonable and may reach a tolerable trade-off deployment scheme for industrial scenarios.…”

Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…The remnants of large eolian dunes are preserved in the low-energy setting of the Inner Lagoon, segmenting the waterbody, and locally increasing restriction. The sedimentology of the arid-zone coastal Khor Al Adaid embayment may serve as an analogue for environmental settings that were perhaps more commonplace in arid zones of flooded continents during greenhouse times.…”
