Spatial variability of summer hydrography in the central Arabian Gulf by Ali Elobaid, Elnaiem

“…The Arabian Gulf is a very significant ocean body, which hosts more than 55% of the oil reserves of the world and produces about 30% of the total production, and thus, it is likely to face high risk and adverse problems by the intensified environmental stressors and severe climatic changes. …”

The Influence of Urbanization on Natural Overland Flow Paths by Al-Sayed, Amna Mohammed

“…The result of the study shows that urbanization has a significant effect on the characteristics of the flow path as it causes the time of concentration to decrease, resulting in increased run-off depth and peak flow.…”

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN INSULIN RESISTANCE AND NITRIC OXIDE IN HUMAN RETINAL MICROVASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL CELLS IN VITRO by Bushra, Sumbul

“…This study demonstrated that Hyperglycemia causes an increase in ROS/oxidative stress and apoptosis, while insulin promotes a significant decrease in ROS and apoptosis, eNOS mediated NO production increases with hyperglycemia but remarkably reduced with insulin treatment after 1hour, 2 hours and 4 hours. …”

Investigating the impact of remittance outflows and oil price on economic growth in Gulf Cooperation Council countries by Mouyad, Alsamara

“…The results indicate that non-oil real GDP exhibits an adverse and magnified response to an increase in remittance outflows, relative to a decrease. Furthermore, this negative impact is amplified when accounting for oil price changes. …”

Novel Ternary Adder and Multiplier Designs without Using Decoders or Encoders by Aljaam J.M.

“…Extensive simulations (over 160) of the proposed designs in terms of PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) variations, noise effect, and scalability studies, along with several benchmark designs using HSPICE simulator, prove the significance of the proposed circuits to decrease the power-delay product (PDP), improve the robustness to process variations, and the noise tolerance. …”

The status of forward osmosis technology implementation by Awad, Abdelrahman M.

“…The outcomes of 15 studies conducted at pilot scale revealed the energy associated with the draw solution (DS) recovery to present a significant barrier to implementation of the technology, with a 40–50% decrease in energy consumption required for the DS recovery step for the process to successfully compete with classical reverse osmosis (RO) based processes. …”

Experimental results and modelling of corrosion-damaged concrete beams strengthened with externally-bonded composites by Elghazy M.

“…The FE models were able to capture the non-linear behavior of the strengthened beams. The interfacial bond stress-slip models at the fabric/matrix and composite/concrete interfaces and the number of composite layers had the most significant impact on the predicted response of the strengthened beams whereas the corrosion level, modeled as a reduction in the steel reinforcement cross-section, showed a slight effect on their performance. …”

Bryophyte cover and richness decline after 18 years of experimental warming in alpine Sweden. by Alatalo, Juha M

“…Bryophyte cover and species richness both declined with long-term warming, while Simpson diversity showed no significant responses. Over the 18-year period, bryophyte cover in warmed plots decreased from 43 % to 11 % in heath and from 68 % to 35 % in meadow (75 % and 48 % decline, respectively, in original cover), while richness declined by 39 % and 26 %, respectively. …”
