A comprehensive review summarizing the recent biomedical applications of functionalized carbon nanofibers
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Since the discovery and fabrication of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) over a decade ago, scientists foster to discover novel myriad potential applications for this material in both biomedicine and industry. The unique economic ... -
A finite state hidden markov model for predicting multistage attacks in cloud systems
( IEEE , 2014 , Conference Paper)Cloud computing significantly increased the security threats because intruders can exploit the large amount of cloud resources for their attacks. However, most of the current security technologies do not provide early ... -
A hierarchical, autonomous, and forecasting cloud IDS
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)Cloud computing supports distributed service oriented paradigm, multi-domain and multi-users administrative infrastructure. Due to the distributed nature of the cloud environment, it has high intrusion prospects and suspect ... -
Assessment of lung cancer risk factors and mortality in Qatar: A case series study
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2021 , Article)Background: The global burden of cancer has exponentially increased over the last few years. In 2018 alone, approximately more than half of the 18.1 million individuals who had cancer succumbed to it. Lung cancer cases and ... -
Clinical usefulness of prediction tools to identify adult hospitalized patients at risk of drug-related problems: A systematic review of clinical prediction models and risk assessment tools
( Wiley , 2021 , Article Review)Aims: This study aimed to review systematically all available prediction tools identifying adult hospitalized patients at risk of drug-related problems, and to synthesize the evidence on performance and clinical usefulness. ... -
Cyber LOPA: An Integrated Approach for the Design of Dependable and Secure Cyber-Physical Systems
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2022 , Article)Safety risk assessment is an essential process to ensure a dependable cyber-physical system (CPS) design. Traditional risk assessment considers only physical failures. For modern CPSs, failures caused by cyber attacks are ... -
Design and Implementation of a Threat-Specific Security Risk Assessment Tool
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2020 , Conference Paper)Security threats posed to individual cloud computing clients vary depending on their specific security requirements. However, Cloud Providers apply generic security risk assessment approaches which result do not consider ... -
Editorial: Challenges in characterizing nano- to macro-plastics and adhered substances in the aquatic environment
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Other)Globally, plastic contamination is one of the serious planetary threats, affecting almost all environmental matrices such as air, water, soil, sediment, and biota (including humans). It is estimated that ∼19 to 23 million ... -
Evaluation of cardiovascular risk in adult psychiatric outpatients in Qatar using two risk assessment tools
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2021 , Article)Introduction: Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) experience premature death, likely due to increased rates of obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study was conducted to estimate the CVD risk in a ... -
Flight Versus Ground Out-of-hospital Rapid Sequence Intubation Success: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
( Taylor and Francis Ltd , 2018 , Article)Introduction: Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a critical procedure performed by both air medical and ground based emergency medical services (EMS). Previous work has suggested that ETI success rates are greater for air ... -
HA-CIDS: A hierarchical and autonomous IDS for cloud systems
( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)Cloud computing is an attractive model that provides the delivery of on-demand computing resources over the Internet and on a pay-for-use basis. However, while intruders may exploit clouds for their advantage, most IDS ... -
Identifying and managing risk in international construction projects
( Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals , 2012 , Article)Over the last decade, major construction projects have increasingly arisen in countries or regions that lack specialist, expert construction contractors, suppliers and consultants. Steps are being taken by governments in ... -
Risk-Management Framework and Information-Security Systems for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): A Meta-Analysis Approach
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2023 , Article)Information-technology (IT) security standards are regularly updated in a rapidly changing technological world to maintain pace with advanced technologies. This study was motivated by the realization that established IT ... -
The Odds Ratio is "portable" across baseline risk but not the Relative Risk: Time to do away with the log link in binomial regression
( Elsevier Inc. , 2022 , Article)Objectives: In a recent paper we suggest that the relative risk (RR) be replaced with the odds ratio (OR) as the effect measure of choice in clinical epidemiology. In response, Chu, and colleagues raise several points that ... -
ThreatRiskEvaluator: A Tool for Assessing Threat-Specific Security Risks in the Cloud
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Conference Paper)In cloud computing, security risks posed to individual clients are different based on their specific security requirements. In current practice, cloud providers usually apply generic protection mechanisms that may not be ...
