The numbers of oil-utilizing bacteria in several samples of clean and oil-polluted soils counted on vitamin-containing media were severalfold higher than the numbers counted on vitamin-free media. Colonies that grew on a medium containing a vitamin mixture were tested f...

An efficient approach to novel macrocyclic azacrown ethers incorporating two azetidinone rings fused to the macrocycle through the 3,4-positions of the azetidinone rings and two macrocycles fused at 1,3,4-positions of two azetidinone rings was achieved via sequential St...

Abstract A household refrigerator designed to work with R134a was used as an investigation unit to assess its transient startup and cyclic characteristics using ternary hydrocarbon mixture. Twenty-five combinations of refrigerant mass (30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 g) and capil...

In the previous chapters single random variables have been discussed in continuous, discrete, and mixed forms based on the probability functions. It is also possible to define multiple random variables in a probability space. In that case, the probability functions are ...

Predictive modeling is a general concept where a model is built to make predictions. Machine learning algorithms are also predictive models that learn from a training dataset to make predictions. Predictive models can be built for classification or regression problems. ...

We present and develop DeepIoT, a low power convolutional neural networks (CNNs) accelerator to enhance inference intelligence on low-end mobile Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The develop of DeepIoT architecture is motivated with the applications need to design an ef...

This study aimed to develop a simple risk score to identify individuals at high risk for undiagnosed diabetes in the Kuwaiti adult population and to assess the performance of previously published diabetes risk scores. A cross-sectional survey with a sample of 562 Kuwait...

Neurological complications are rare in childhood brucellosis: there are only 33 reported cases. In children, neurobrucellosis is usually of acute presentation involving the central nervous system. We report our experience with an 8-year-old boy with brucella meningitis ...

The Arabian Gulf catfish Arius thallasinus excretes copious amounts of proteinaceous gel from epidermal cells when threatened or injured. As a means of investigating its biological role, this gel material has been examined to determine the nature of the secretion and it...

BackgroundDelivery of preventive chemotherapy (PC) through mass drug administration (MDA) is used to control or eliminate five of the most common neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The success of an MDA campaign relies on the ability of drug distributors and their supe...
