Abstract Introduction: La Covid-19 constitue une cause de plusieurs affections mentales, notamment chez les patients atteints de cancer qui sont déjà considérés comme une population vulnérable. Ainsi, l’objectif de la présente étude était d’évaluer les troubles psychologiques des patients suivis pour une maladie tumorale maligne, sous traitement médical systémique, ayant eu une infection au SARS-CoV2 ; ainsi que les conséquences que ces troubles psychologiques peuvent avoir sur l’adhésion aux soins oncologiques.
Méthode: Il s’agit d’une étude transversale sur une période de quatre mois (pic de la pandémie) menée au département d’oncologie médicale du centre hospitalier universitaire Hassan-II de Fès, Maroc. Les… More >

Abstract Education quality has undoubtedly become an important local and international benchmark for education, and an institute’s ranking is assessed based on the quality of education, research projects, theses, and dissertations, which has always been controversial. Hence, this research paper is influenced by the institutes ranking all over the world. The data of institutes are obtained through Google Scholar (GS), as input to investigate the United Kingdom’s Research Excellence Framework (UK-REF) process. For this purpose, the current research used a Bespoke Program to evaluate the institutes’ ranking based on their source. The bespoke program requires changes to improve the results by… More >

Abstract In this article, an investigational analysis has been conducted to explore the effect of biodiesel fuel blends on characteristics of engine and releases (CO2, CO, HCl, and NOx) of single-cylinder, four strokes at the variable biodiesel concentration. The releases of gases and the engine's characteristics were measured at six blending biofuels and six-speed conditions and constant load. The blending proportions of biodiesel with diesel fuel-based by volume were at 0% pure diesel, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. This investigation aims to assess the biodiesel fuel mixture's impact on the CI engine performance in terms of its Bsfc, Ƞbth, and… More >

Abstract The current study explores heat and mass transfer analysis of unstable MHD boundary layer flow of electrically conducting Casson fluid near an infinite Perpendicular porous plate, moving with variable velocity. Mass diffusion equation was described by the homogenous first order chemical reaction. The equations controlling the flow converted into dimensionless form and solved by applying Laplace transform method and the expressions for velocity, temperature and concentration of the flow are acquired in exact form. To understand the physical insight of the problem a detailed study of involved parameters of the flow was done and explained in detailed with graphs. The… More >

Abstract This examination carried out on thermophoresis impact on a micropolar fluid under heat flux which is not changeable in conducting field. The flow past a vertical porous plate is taken with the influence of thermal radiation and diffusion simultaneously. The flow governed non linear partial differential equations in this model are distorted to a structure of non-linear ordinary ones through fitting corresponding transformations and later solved by Runge–Kutta Fourth order with shooting technique method. The effects of selected corporal parameters on the dimensionless velocity, microrotation and temperature profiles are examined and handled graphically. Lastly, numerical table values of the extended… More >

Abstract CFD analyses of flow characteristics and heat transfer topology in a heat exchanger duct (HXD) placed with three various configurations of the double V-baffles (DVB) are reported. Parameters of interest are DVB height ratios (b/H = 0.05 – 0.25), gap spacing ratios (g = 0.05 – 0.40), flow directions (+x, -x), and DVB configurations (Type I, II and III). Laminar flow with Reynolds numbers (based on the inlet conditions) between 100 – 2000 is measured. The present problem is solved with the finite volume method (a commercial program). Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in the tested duct are described.… More >

Abstract

Micronutrient nanoparticles (NPs) are currently an option for chemical fertilization and biostimulation in crops. However, there is little information on the phytotoxic or biostimulatory effects of NPs at low concentrations of some elements, such as Zn. In this study, the effect of low concentrations of Zn oxide (ZnO) NPs on germination, growth variables, and nutritional attributes of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) was evaluated in comparison to Zn sulfate. Romaine lettuce seeds were treated with ZnSO₄^-- × 7H₂O and ZnO NPs at Zn molar concentrations of 1 × 10⁻³, 5 × 10⁻³, 1 × 10⁻⁴, 5 × 10⁻⁴, 1… More >

Abstract Derailment of trains is not unusual all around the world, especially in developing countries, due to unidentified track or rolling stock faults that cause massive casualties each year. For this purpose, a proper condition monitoring system is essential to avoid accidents and heavy losses. Generally, the detection and classification of railway track surface faults in real-time requires massive computational processing and memory resources and is prone to a noisy environment. Therefore, in this paper, we present the development of a novel embedded system prototype for condition monitoring of railway track. The proposed prototype system works in real-time by acquiring railway… More >

Abstract Falls are the contributing factor to both fatal and nonfatal injuries in the elderly. Therefore, pre-impact fall detection, which identifies a fall before the body collides with the floor, would be essential. Recently, researchers have turned their attention from post-impact fall detection to pre-impact fall detection. Pre-impact fall detection solutions typically use either a threshold-based or machine learning-based approach, although the threshold value would be difficult to accurately determine in threshold-based methods. Moreover, while additional features could sometimes assist in categorizing falls and non-falls more precisely, the estimated determination of the significant features would be too time-intensive, thus using a… More >

Abstract The massive increase in the volume of data generated by individuals on social media microblog platforms such as Twitter and Reddit every day offers researchers unique opportunities to analyze financial markets from new perspectives. The meme stock mania of 2021 brought together stock traders and investors that were also active on social media. This mania was in good part driven by retail investors’ discussions on investment strategies that occurred on social media platforms such as Reddit during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The stock trades by these retail investors were then executed using services like Robinhood. In this paper, machine learning models… More >
