Antiamoebic activity of plant‑based natural products and their conjugated silver nanoparticles against Acanthamoeba castellanii (ATCC 50492) by Anwar, Areeba

“…Herein, we used natural products of plant or commercial sources including quercetin (QT), kolavenic acid (PGEA) isolated from plant extracts of Polyalthia longifolia var pendula and crude plant methanolic extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima (CPFLM) as antiacanthamoebic agents. Furthermore, these plant-based materials were conjugated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to determine the effects of the natural compounds and their nanoconjugates against a clinical isolate of A. castellanii from a keratitis patient (ATCC 50492) belonging to the T4 genotype. …”

Impact of considering need for work and risk on performance of construction contractors by Awwad, Rita

“…An additive markup function consisting of three components, namely competition, risk, and need for work, was developed in order to replicate markup behaviors of contractors. Then, agent-based modeling has been employed for simulating the bidding process within a market formed of a set of heterogeneous contractors with different risk attitudes and defined markup behaviors. …”

Host Genetic Variants Potentially Associated With SARS-CoV-2: A Multi-Population Analysis by Maria K. Smatti (4675852)

“…Remarkably, Africans seem to carry extremely lower frequencies of SARS-CoV-1 susceptibility alleles, reaching to 32-fold decrease compared to other populations.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Multiple genetic variants, which could potentially modulate SARS-CoV-2 infection, are significantly variable between populations, with the lowest frequency observed among Africans. …”

Intravitreal bevacizumab injections can release vitreomacular adhesions in eyes with persistent diabetic macular edema and vitreomacular adhesions by Al Judaibi, Ramzi M.

“…Purpose: to report cases of persistent diabetic macular edema (DME) with vitreomacular adhesions (VMA) that responded to intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection with separation of the VMA and complete or significant resolution of DME Methods: Three eyes of three patients were diagnosed with persistent DME and VMA following focal laser therapy based on typical clinical, angiographic, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT, Spectralis, Heidelberg, Germany) findings. …”

Simulating and comparing various price-driven bid selection methods from an owner's perspective. (c2017) by Ammoury, Michael Fayez

“…Thus, there is a need to explore alternative competitive price-driven bidding methods which can preserve the transparency of the low bid method and at the same time remedy the inconvenience of unrealistic low bids. This thesis uses agent based modeling in order to simulate the interactions among contractors with varying risk behavior and project management skill levels under different competitive tendering approaches including the second low, average, below-average, truncated average and truncated below-average bidding methods. …”
