UNDERWEIGHT AND SLIMNESS AND THEIR RELATION TO DIETARY HABITS AND BLOOD PRESSURE AMONG SAUDI FEMALE STUDENTS IN TAIBAH UNIVERSITY

Background: Underweight is a term describing a human whose body weight is considered too low to be healthy. Underweight is associated with negative health consequences, such as nutritional deficiency, osteoporosis, and unfavorable pregnancy...

Silicon reduces nitrogen stress and improves growth and yield of forage grass under excessive fertilization in tropical soils

Abstract Inadequate nitrogen (N) fertilization management in pastures is common and can lead to N deficiency or excess, resulting in physiological imbalances in forage grasses across different regions of the world. Silicon (Si) fertigation ...

Psychosocial Impacts of Cancer on Siblings: Qualitative Evidence From Indonesia

Living with brothers and/or sisters who have been diagnosed with cancer can cause psychological problems on the part of siblings. This paper aimed to explore the psychosocial impacts of cancer on siblings. This research is a qualitative stu...

This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the " effect of the student nurses" personal pain experience on assessment of pain intensity and selection of appropriate number of pain interventions. Participants in this research were 150 fem...

The effect of written emotional disclosure on health behaviors and loneliness among family caregivers of cancer patients

Background & Aim: Emotional disclosure has been associated with improvements in psychological well-being, immune function, and physical health. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of written emotional disclosure on health behaviors and ...

Masterbatch-enabled acceleration of polyolefin biodegradation under open air terrestrial environmental conditions

Abstract Polyolefins, commonly used in packaging and single-use products, are notoriously persistent in the environment, contributing significantly to environmental pollution. In scientific literature to date, polyolefins have not been repo...

The structural diversity of ibuprofen sustained-release pellets on the same goal of bioequivalence consistency

The consistency evaluation, which is largely unexplored is crucial in regulating the quality and efficacy of generic drugs. In this report, after generic ibuprofen (IBU) sustained-release pellets were developed and validated as bioequivalen...

High‐performance optical noncontact controlling system based on broadband PtTex/Si heterojunction photodetectors for human–machine interaction

Abstract Noncontact interaction systems have attracted considerable research attention in recent years because of convenient operation, sterility, and injury prevention. However, the insufficient sensing distance and weak robustness of nonc...

Design and Development of Sindhi Text Based CAPTCHAs for Regional Websites

Bots are created to use the resources maliciously on World Wide Web. The misuse of the resources could be prevented by employing CAPTCHAs. Several types of CAPTCHAs are being used against the bots (robot) attacks but text-based CAPTCHA type...

Application of the convolutional neural network in partial discharge spectrum recognition of power apparatus

Abstract Partial discharge (PD) detection is used to evaluate the insulation status of high‐voltage equipment. The most challenging aspect of traditional PD recognition is extracting features from the discharge signal. Accordingly, this stu...

Advances of Single‐Atomic Cobalt Catalysts in Liquid‐Phase Selective Oxidative Reactions

Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) composed of atomically dispersed metal‐active sites embedded in supporting substrates are attracting increasing attention in liquid‐phase selective oxidation reactions with joint merits of both advanced catalyti...

It’s the Social Interaction That Matters: Exploring Residents’ Motivation to Invest in the Community-Shared Charging Post Co-Construction Project

Countries worldwide are increasingly focused on addressing the imbalance between the supply and demand for EV charging infrastructure, with the community-shared charging post (CSCP) co-construction project emerging as a promising solution. ...

Six‐face cubical key encryption and decryption based on product cipher using hybridisation and Rubik's cubes

This paper deals with the novel approach to generate cubical key that symbolises the message and key in six‐face cubical structure. The cubical message is hybridised to generate the cipher in the encryption. Hybridisation of cubes is perfor...

Sustainable re-use of waste glass, cement and lime treated dredged material as pavement material

The amount of waste materials such as dredged materials (DM) and waste glass (WG) have been growing exponentially since the middle of the 20th century. The most important problem created by them is the lack of space to be used for storage b...
