Transient high thyroid stimulating hormone and hypothyroidism incidence during follow up of subclinical hypothyroidism
(Sciendo, 2021)
Objectives. Given the high prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), defined as high thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and normal free thyroxine (FT4), and uncertainty on treatment, one of the major challenges in ...
Mechanical Properties of Strengthening 5083-H111 Aluminum Alloy Plates at Elevated Temperatures
(MDPI, 2021)
The use of aluminum alloys for external strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams has been capturing research interest. Exposure to harsh environmental conditions can severely impact the strengthening efficiency. ...
Task-Based Design Approach: Development of a Planar Cable-Driven Parallel Robot for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
(MDPI, 2021)
This paper deals with the optimal design of a planar cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR), with three degrees of freedom, intended for assisting the patient’s affected upper limb along a prescribed movement. A Qualisys motion ...
A Mobile Energy Storage Unit Serving Multiple EV Charging Stations
(MDPI, 2021)
Due to the rapid increase in electric vehicles (EVs) globally, new technologies have emerged in recent years to meet the excess demand imposed on the power systems by EV charging. Among these technologies, a mobile energy ...
Synthesis and low-order optical nonlinearities of colloidal HgSe quantum dots in the visible and near infrared ranges
(Optical Society of America, 2021)
We synthesize colloidal HgSe quantum dots and characterize their nonlinear refraction and nonlinear absorption using a Nd:YAG laser and its second harmonic. The 7.5 nm quantum dots were synthesized using the hot-injection ...
Transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli K1 after therapy with hesperidin conjugated with silver nanoparticles
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2021)
Backgrounds: Escherichia coli K1 causes neonatal meningitis. Transcriptome studies are indispensable to comprehend the pathology and biology of these bacteria. Recently, we showed that nanoparticles loaded with Hesperidin ...
A Roadmap for Policy-Relevant Sea-Level Rise Research in the United Arab Emirates
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a long-term policy horizon, the financial capital, and a vision for a sustainable knowledge-based economy. These characteristics uniquely situate it as a potential leader for sea-level ...
Antitumour Activities of Selected Pure Compounds Identified from the Serum of Crocodylus porosus, Malayopython reticulatus, Varanus salvator and Cuora kamaroma amboinensis
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2021)
Objectives: Here we determined antitumour effects of purified compounds such as Valdecoxib, Rofecoxib, L-Methionine and Artocarpin against cancer cell lines. Methods: Using purified compounds, assays were performed to ...
Influence of gas environment on the dynamics of wetting transition of laser-textured stainless steel meshes
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2021)
We analyze the role of surrounding gas and aging in ambient air in the wettability behavior of laser-processed stainless steel meshes. Laser texturing of meshes was carried out in the presence of different gases (N₂, O₂, ...
In vitro effects of multi-purpose contact lens disinfecting solutions towards survivability of Acanthamoeba genotype T4 in Malaysia
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
The incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis has been increasing since the previous decades, especially among contact lens users. This infection is majorly caused by the use of ineffective contact lens disinfecting solution. ...
