| 1 | Synthesis of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes by Induction Thermal Plasma显示文摘The production of high quality single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)on a bulk scale has been an issue of considerable interest.Recently,it has been demonstrated that high quality SWCNTs can be continuously synthesized on large scale by using induction thermal plasma technology.In this process,the high energy density of the thermal plasma is employed to generate dense vapor-phase precursors for the synthesis of SWCNTs.With the current reactor system,a carbon soot product which contains approximately 40 wt%of SWCNTs can be continuously synthesized at the high production rate of~100 g/h.In this article,our recent research efforts to achieve major advances in this technology are presented.Firstly,the processing parameters involved are examined systematically in order to evaluate their individual inuences on the SWCNT synthesis.Based on these results,the appropriate operating conditions of the induction thermal plasma process for an effective synthesis of SWCNTs are discussed.A characterization study has also been performed on the SWCNTs produced under the optimum processing conditions.Finally,a mathematical model of the process currently under development is described.The model will help us to better understand the synthesis of SWCNTs in the induction plasma process. | Keun Su Kim Ala Moradian Javad Mostaghimi Yasaman Alinejad Ali Shahverdi Benoit Simard Gervais Soucy | 2009 | Nano Research2009，2，10： | 4 |
| 2 | Split-dose menthol-enhanced PEG vs PEG-ascorbic acid for colonoscopy preparation显示文摘AIM:To compare the efficacy and palatability of 4L polyethylene glycol electrolyte(PEG)plus sugar-free menthol candy(PEG+M)vs reduced-volume 2 L ascorbic acid-supplemented PEG(Asc PEG).METHODS:In a randomized controlled trial setting,ambulatory patients scheduled for elective colonoscopy were prospectively enrolled.Patients were randomized to receive either PEG+M or Asc PEG,both splitdosed with minimal dietary restriction.Palatability was assessed on a linear scale of 1 to 5(1=disgusting;5=tasty).Quality of preparation was scored by assignment-blinded endoscopists using the modified Aronchick and Ottawa scales.The main outcomes were the palatability and efficacy of the preparation.Secondary outcomes included patient willingness to retake the same preparation again in the future and completion of the prescribed preparation.RESULTS:Overall,200 patients were enrolled(100patients per arm).PEG+M was more palatable than Asc PEG(76%vs 62%,P=0.03).Completing the preparation was not different between study groups(91%PEG+M vs 86%Asc PEG,P=0.38)but more patients were willing to retake PEG+M(54%vs 40%respectively,P=0.047).There was no significant difference between PEG+M vs Asc PEG in adequate cleansing on both the modified Aronchick(82%vs77%,P=0.31)and the Ottawa scale(85%vs 74%,P=0.054).However,PEG+M was superior in the left colon on the Ottawa subsegmental score(score0-2:94%for PEG+M vs 81%for Asc PEG,P=0.005)and received significantly more excellent ratings than Asc PEG on the modified Aronchick scale(61%vs 43%,P=0.009).Both preparations performed less well in afternoon vs morning examinations(inadequate:29%vs 15.2%,P=0.02).CONCLUSION:4 L PEG plus menthol has better palatability and acceptability than 2 L ascorbic acidPEG and is associated with a higher rate of excellentpreparations;Clinicaltrial.gov identifier:NCT01788709. | Ala I Sharara Ali H Harb Fayez S Sarkis Jean M Chalhoub Rami Badreddine Fadi H Mourad Mahmoud Othman Omar Masri | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，6： | 2 |
| 3 | Amblyopia screening for first and second-grade children in Jordan显示文摘AIM:To share the results of a national screening program for amblyopia in school children in the north of Jordan.METHODS:This is a prospective national screening study for amblyopia.The program rolls first and second-grade children(6 to 7 years old) in the north of Jordan.The eye examination included:best-corrected visual acuity,cover-uncover test,and cycloplegic retinoscopy.Monocular visual acuity was tested using an ETDRS visual acuity chart without correction.Moreover,children were tested with full cycloplegic refraction when the test criteria were met.Unilateral amblyopia was defined as a best-corrected visual acuity difference of 2 or more lines.In comparison,bilateral amblyopia was defined as a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or worse in the best eye.RESULTS:The prevalence of amblyopia for the total sample tested(n=17 203) was 2.78%(n=479).The most common cause of amblyopia was hypermetropia(64.45%),followed by previous ocular surgeries(15.1%),myopia(10.43%),strabismus(9.39%),and congenital cataract(0.63%).CONCLUSION:This is the first and only study,identifing modifiable risk factors in Jordanian children with amblyopia.In their first couple of years of elementary education,many Jordanian children are affected by amblyopia and pass unnoticed.A more governmental effort is needed into screening programs to improve vision in the Jordanian population. | Khalil M.Al-Salem Mohammad S.Saleem Ismat Ereifej Hamzeh M.Alrawashdeh Rayed Falah Hussein Obeidat Asma Ali Abdlmohdi Raeda Zaki Al-Momani Layal Mohammed Hammad Omar Ahmad al-Habahbeh Yaqeen M.Assassfeh Laith Ramzi Najib Al-Qsous Ashraf Hatim Adeeb Nasraween Tariq A.Al Maaitah Deya'-Aldin Muneer Hasan Aqeel Ibtehal Eyadeh Awad Alabdulrazzg Abdullah Mahmoud Mohammad Murad Amany Jehad Faleh AL-Zurqan Enas Jamal Mohammad Jaradat Slsabela Emad Suliman Aldhoon Ala'a Majed Dmour Ahmad Talal Asassfeh Jeries Ayman Halaseh Abdel Aziz Ammar Daoud Waha Ayman Alkasasbeh Kholoud GH.Matar | 2022 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2022，15，2： | 1 |

| 5 | Risk prediction rule for advanced neoplasia on screening colonoscopy for average-risk individuals显示文摘BACKGROUND In resource-limited countries,risk stratification can be used to optimize colorectal cancer screening.Few prospective risk prediction models exist for advanced neoplasia(AN)in true average-risk individuals.AIM To create and internally validate a risk prediction model for detection of AN in METHODS Prospective study of asymptomatic individuals undergoing first screening colonoscopy.Detailed characteristics including diet,exercise and medications were collected.Multivariate logistic regression was used to elucidate risk factors for AN(adenoma≥1 cm,villous histology,high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma).The model was validated through bootstrapping,and discrimination and calibration of the model were assessed.RESULTS 980 consecutive individuals(51%F;49%M)were enrolled.Adenoma and AN detection rates were 36.6%(F 29%:M 45%;P<0.001)and 5.1%(F 3.8%;M 6.5%)respectively.On multivariate analysis,predictors of AN[OR(95%CI)]were age[1.036(1.00-1.07);P=0.048],BMI[overweight 2.21(0.98-5.00);obese 3.54(1.48-8.50);P=0.018],smoking[<40 pack-years 2.01(1.01-4.01);≥40 pack-years 3.96(1.86-8.42);P=0.002],and daily red meat consumption[2.02(0.92-4.42)P=0.079].Nomograms of AN risk were developed in terms of risk factors and age separately for normal,overweight and obese individuals.The model had good discrimination and calibration.CONCLUSION The prevalence of adenoma and AN in average-risk Lebanese individuals is similar to the West.Age,smoking,and BMI are important predictors of AN,with obesity being particularly powerful.Though external validation is needed,this model provides an important platform for improved risk-stratification for screening programs in regions where universal screening is not currently employed. | Ala I Sharara Ali El Mokahal Ali H Harb Natalia Khalaf Fayez S Sarkis Mustapha M El-Halabi Nabil M Mansour Ahmad Malli Robert Habib | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020，26，37： | 1 |

| 7 | A New Medical Image Enhancement Algorithm Based on Fractional Calculus显示文摘The enhancement of medical images is a challenging research task due to the unforeseeable variation in the quality of the captured images.The captured images may present with low contrast and low visibility,which might inuence the accuracy of the diagnosis process.To overcome this problem,this paper presents a new fractional integral entropy(FITE)that estimates the unforeseeable probabilities of image pixels,posing as the main contribution of the paper.The proposed model dynamically enhances the image based on the image contents.The main advantage of FITE lies in its capability to enhance the low contrast intensities through pixels’probability.Initially,the pixel probability of the fractional power is utilized to extract the illumination value from the pixels of the image.Next,the contrast of the image is then adjusted to enhance the regions with low visibility.Finally,the fractional integral entropy approach is implemented to enhance the low visibility contents from the input image.Tests were conducted on brain MRI,lungs CT,and kidney MRI scans datasets of different image qualities to show that the proposed model is robust and can withstand dramatic variations in quality.The obtained comparative results show that the proposed image enhancement model achieves the best BRISQUE and NIQE scores.Overall,this model improves the details of brain MRI,lungs CT,and kidney MRI scans,and could therefore potentially help the medical staff during the diagnosis process. | Hamid A.Jalab Rabha W.Ibrahim Ali M.Hasan Faten Khalid Karim Ala’a R.Al-Shamasneh Dumitru Baleanu | 2021 | Computers, Materials & Continua2021，，8： | 0 |
