Studying critical pedestrian behavioral changes for the safety assessment at signalized crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are one of the most important safety concerns at signalized intersections especially in urban areas. Conflicting vehicles and pedestrians select their maneuvers by predicting the other user ...
The role of statistics in data-centric engineering
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
We explore the role of statistics for Big Data analysis arising from the emerging field of Data-Centric Engineering. Using examples related to sensor-instrumented bridges, we highlight a number of issues and challenges. ...
Quantitative metabolomic and lipidomic profiling reveals aberrant amino acid metabolism in type 2 diabetes
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2013 , Article)
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a multi-factorial disease with a complex pathogenic mechanism; however a complete understanding of precise biochemical alterations accompanying the onset and progression of T2DM is lacking. Using ...
The predictive value of IL28B rs12979860, rs11881222 and rs8099917 polymorphisms and IP-10 in the therapeutic response of Egyptian genotype 4 patients
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Interleukin-28B (IL28B) polymorphisms have previously been reported to be strongly associated with spontaneous and treatment-induced HCV viral clearance. AimTo assess the impact of four different IL28B polymorphisms and ...
Association of adiponectin gene polymorphism (+T45G) with acute coronary syndrome and circulating adiponectin levels
(
SAGE
, 2012 , Article)
We investigated the association of adiponectin gene polymorphisms (+T45G and +G276T) and adiponectin levels with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among Arabs in Qatar. A case-control study was performed in 142 Arab patients ...

(
Taylor & Francis
, 2023 , Article)
This study is motivated by the infancy of literature on strategic HRM in regard to government policies and the lack of empirical research on the HRM policy of nationalization in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council ...
Enhancement of photovoltaic module performance by thermal management using shape-stabilized PCM composites
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Thermal management of photovoltaic (PV) panels is crucial due to the deterioration of their electrical efficiency at elevated operating temperatures. Therefore, thermal protection of PV against overheating is highly required. ...
Genetic polymorphisms of ICAM 1 and IL28 as predictors of liver fibrosis severity and viral clearance in hepatitis C genotype 4
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Background and objectivesIntercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is located on chromosome 19p13.2, and this protein plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The rs12979860 polymorphism ...
Significant association of close homologue of L1 gene polymorphism rs2272522 with schizophrenia in Qatar
(
Wiley Online Library
, 2012 , Article)
Introduction: Previous reports have found that polymorphisms in the close homologue of L1 (CHL1) gene located on chromosome 3p26 are associated with schizophrenia among different ethnic populations. The aim of this study ...
Harmonic modeling of linear and nonlinear loads based on Kalman filtering algorithm
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Most harmonic nonlinear load modeling techniques developed in the last two decades, assume that the load connected to the load bus has a constant admittance, inductive or capacitive, which depends on the mode of operation ...
