Intersections are an integral part of a traffic system, thus, studying their safety and considering countermeasures to increase their safety should improve the overall safety of the traffic system. In this study, we looked into the intersections with the highest reported accidents in the Kingdom of Bahrain through the years [...]

In recent years, extensive researches were devoted to iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), including magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), due to their low toxicity and cost, in addition to their unique physicochemical and magnetic properties. In this review, we present a brief introduction on IONPs in terms of classification and properties. [...]

In this study, a novel and sensitive voltammetric nanosensor has been developed for the first time, for the detection of Rilpivirine based on amine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (NH2-fMWCNT) with Ag nanoparticles onto carbon quantum dots modified glassy carbon electrode. Scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were [...]

In this research work, the charge transfer complex of 2,2′-bipyridine with picric acid a 1:1 stoichiometry has been investigated by using quantum chemical calculations B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p), CAM- B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p), PBE0/6-311++G(d, p) and M06-2X/6-311++G(d, p) level of theory. Binding energies (Δ E int, Δ H int and Δ G int), reactivity [...]

The effects of extraction process using three different solvents [50% aqueous acetone (Ace/w), 50% aqueous ethanol (Eth/w) or 50% aqueous methanol (Meth/w)] and wine production residue (seeds, skin and pomace) from Pinot noir [PN] and Pinot meunier [PM] on the phenolic profile and anti-influenza activity of their extracts were determined. [...]

Innovation has been recognized as one of the main strategies for organizations to remain competitive in today’s competitive economy. Employees’ innovative work behavior is the primary driver for organizational-wide innovation. Innovative work behavior is the production of usable products, processes, or services originating from identifying problems to generating ideas. From [...]

Objective: To counteract muscle mass, muscle strength and power loss during aging, and to study age-related change of neuromuscular manifestation of fatigue in relation to nutritional supplementation. Design: randomized controlled double-blind study. Setting: Twice-daily consumption for 12 weeks of an Essential Amino Acids (EAA)-based multi-ingredient nutritional supplement containing EAA, creatine, [...]

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2dM) is a disease associated with a number of metabolic disturbances, including protein metabolism. In the present study, blood samples were obtained from Bahraini subjects, including 6 patients with T2dM and 6 age- and sex-matched, non-diabetic, healthy controls. depleted and non-depleted sera were prepared from the [...]

The concentrations of the minerals magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), sodium (Na+) and potassium(K+) were determined in tap, filtered and bottled waters in Bahrain using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Tap and filtered water samples were obtained from the households of ten different cities in Bahrain, while twenty different commercial brands of bottled [...]

Objectives: In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a list of global priority pathogens (GPP) – 12 species of bacteria with critical, high, and medium antibiotic resistance (AR). In this review, our goal was to quantify published reports of AR in this group of pathogens using the Medline-PubMed databases. [...]
