Published: October 2024

Study Purpose: This study seeks to investigate the various dimensions contributing to the sustainable competitive advantage of the Saudi eHealthcare system.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was adopted in this study. Eleven factors were identified that may affect the sustainable competitive advantage, which were embedded in to the survey questionnaire. Participants included diverse healthcare workers (physicians, specialist physicians, nurses, managers) from Saudi public hospitals. A total of 382 healthcare workers participated in the study.

Results: User experience and accessibility emerged as the most significant factor with a high mean of 4.04 ± 0.69, followed by innovation and continuous improvement (mean 3.8 ± 0.89) and AI adoption (mean 3.91 ± 0.82). Notably, a statistically significant difference is observed in the domain of Data Security and Privacy (), with specialist physicians exhibiting a lower mean score (2.44 ± 0.86) compared to other roles.

Conclusion: The need to strengthen overall competitiveness is emphasized by identified areas for improvement, including data security, interoperability, and integration, which highlight the necessity for specific initiatives.

Membrane-assisted direct seawater splitting (DSS) technologies are actively studied as a promising route to produce green hydrogen (H2), whereas the indispensable use of supporting electrolytes that help to extract water and provide electrochemically-accelerated reaction media results in a severe energy penalty, consuming up to 12.5% of energy input when using a typical KOH electrolyte. We bypass this issue by designing a zero-gap electrolyzer configuration based on the integration of cation exchange membrane and bipolar membrane assemblies, which protects stable DSS operation against the precipitates and corrosion in the absence of additional supporting electrolytes.

Atomic-scale understanding of oxide growth and dissolution kinetics of Ni-Cr alloys.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Materials Science Division, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA, USA.

Aqueous corrosion of metals is governed by formation and dissolution of a passivating, multi-component surface oxide. Unfortunately, a detailed atomistic description is challenging due to the compositional complexity and the need to consider multiple kinetic factors simultaneously. To this end, we combine experiments with a first-principles-derived, multiscale computational framework that transcends thermodynamic descriptions to explicitly simulate the kinetic evolution of surface oxides of Ni-Cr alloys as a function of composition, temperature, pH, and applied voltage.
