Applying the Delphi technique in pharmacy and health services research
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)New areas for improved health care services, including pharmaceutical services, are often identified and evaluated using research evidence. The need for evidence-based policy and practice in pharmacy is becoming increasingly ... -
Applying value-based strategies to accelerate access to novel cancer medications: guidance from the Oncology Health Economics Expert Panel in Qatar (Q-OHEP)
( BioMed Central Ltd , 2023 , Article)Background: In line with global trends, cancer incidence and mortality may have decreased for specific types of cancer in Qatar. However, the cancer-related burden on patients, healthcare systems, and the economy is expected ... -
Appraising e-commerce systems performance in the engineering and information technology industry
(2015 , Other)This research aimed to understand the factors influencing e-commerce systems performance in Jordan. Using previous literature, we developed a theoretical model of performance with four contributing factors: perceived ... -
An Approach for Adjusting the Laboratory-Determined Dynamic Modulus Master Curve of Asphalt Layers Based on Falling Weight Deflectometer Measurements
( Hindawi , 2023 , Article)Structural assessment is critical for designing asphalt pavement overlays, estimating the remaining life of pavements, and selecting an appropriate rehabilitation strategy for existing pavements. The falling weight ... -
An approach for constructing complex discriminating surfaces based on Bayesian interference of the maximum entropy
( Elsevier Inc. , 2003 , Article)In this paper we present a comprehensive Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) procedure for the classification tasks. This MaxEnt is applied successfully to the problem of estimating the probability distribution function (pdf) of a ... -
Approach for Integrating Indirect Evaporative Cooling System into Contemporary Architecture
( OMICS International , 2014 , Article)Nowadays, the knowledge of building ecology focuses on energy efficiency and how to integrate environmental and climatic parameters into HVAC and thus enhances space qualities such as comfort ability. The aim of this paper ... -
Approaches to Direct Oral Anticoagulant Selection in Practice
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2019 , Article Review)Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) carry many advantages over warfarin and are now considered first line or an alternative for mnay thromboembolic disorders. With the emergence of 5 DOAC agents to the market as well as the ... -
Approaching what we hope for and avoiding what we fear: A study of women's concern with visible signs of skin aging
( SAGE , 2011 , Article)This paper proposes to examine how priming approach and avoidance goal orientations moderates consumer goal-directed preferences for products and services. These effects are studied in the context of women's concern with ... -
Appropriateness of Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban Prescribing in Qatar: A 5-Year Experience
( SAGE Publications Ltd , 2018 , Article)Introduction: Over the past few years, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been gradually replacing warfarin. Inappropriate prescribing of DOACs in real-life practice settings can affect their perceived safety and ... -
Approximate analytic solutions of transient nonlinear heat conduction with temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity
( Hindawi Publishing Corporation , 2014 , Article)A new approach for generating approximate analytic solutions of transient nonlinear heat conduction problems is presented. It is based on an effective combination of Lie symmetry method, homotopy perturbation method, finite ... -
Approximate solutions to the generalized time-fractional ito system
( Forum-Editrice Universitaria Udinese SRL , 2017 , Article)In this work, we consider the time-fractional version of the well-known integrable Ito system to study the effect of its fractional index "memory index". A modified approach of a relatively new method called residual power ... -
Approximating the tail probabilities of the longest run in a sequence of Bernoulli trials
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2018 , Article)We consider the longest run of either successes or failures in a sequence of (Formula presented.) Bernoulli trials. The exact distribution of this random variable is obtained using probability generating function techniques. ... -
Approximation of Pore Space with Ellipsoids: A Comparison of a Geometrical Method with a Statistical one
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2018 , Conference Paper)We work with tomographic images of pore space in soil. The images have large dimensions and so in order to speed-up biological simulations (as drainage or diffusion process in soil), we want to describe the pore space with ... -
Aquaculture from inland fish cultivation to wastewater treatment: a review
( Springer Nature , 2023 , Article)The aquaculture industry is rapidly developing, generating a high amount of wastewater. Inland aquaculture effluents contain nutrients and other substances that can cause eutrophication and the emergence of resistive ... -
Aquaporins Are One of the Critical Factors in the Disruption of the Skin Barrier in Inflammatory Skin Diseases
( MDPI , 2022 , Article Review)The skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving as an effective mechanical barrier between the internal milieu and the external environment. The skin is widely considered the first-line defence of the body, with ... -
Aqueous dispersions of carbon black and its hybrid with carbon nanofibers
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2018 , Article)The aqueous dispersions of a special type of carbon black (CB) in 1 M lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) electrolyte is mainly controlled by the affinity of the aqueous electrolyte towards the CB particles rather ... -
