Abstract Litter decomposition is a key driver of ecosystem processes and carbon cycling. Decomposition rate is influenced by numerous factors, such as temperature, humidity, litter properties, soil properties, and properties of soil fauna/microbial communities. The aim ...

A 50 year old female with history of bronchogenic carcinoma completed her first cycle of chemotherapy, presents with 8 day history of diplopia when looking to the left. When asked to look at left, the right eye shows impaired adduction while the left abducting eye shows...

The international CMS GEM collaboration is studying the feasibility of upgrading the CMS forward muon system by adding layers of triple GEM based detectors. After successful tests of small size tripe-GEM chambers in the period of 2010-2011, the collaboration has designe...

The overall goal of the Qatar Biobank (QBB) is to collect, manage, and distribute high-quality human biospecimens with appropriate clinical and/or research annotation and associated phenotypic data, aiming to be an important and essential resource of medical research an...

We study Frank-Wolfe methods for nonconvex stochastic and finite-sum optimization problems. Frank-Wolfe methods (in the convex case) have gained tremendous recent interest in machine learning and optimization communities due to their projection-free property and their a...

Peroneal tendon instability associated with an intraarticular calcaneal fracture is a common injury that still often passes undiscovered by both radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. Timely identification of this injury will guide the choice of surgical technique used a...

Objective Radioactive iodine (RAI) with I131 has an established role in managing differentiated thyroid carcinoma, namely papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma. However, concerns have been raised about its possible carcinogenic effects. Pape...

Wind energy is one among the clean and renewable energy resources. The utilization of nonconventional energies over the conventional sources helps to reduce the carbon emissions significantly. The present study aims at investigating the wind energy potential at select c...

Abstract This paper obtains bright and singular optical soliton solutions to perturbed Gerdjikov–Ivanov equation by the aid of extended trial equation method. This work is an extension of the previously reported results where unperturbed version of the model was address...

Robostress is a user's perceived or measured stress in relation to the use of interactive physical robots. It is an offshoot from technostress where a user perceives experience of stress when using technologies. We explored robostress and the related variables. The meth...
