Polarimetric SAR Speckle Reduction by Hybrid Iterative Filtering حسب Yahia, Mohamed

"…An expression that takes into account the following important numerical considerations is proposed. 1) The variability of the pixel is measured by coefficient variation (CV) rather than the variance. 2) The statistics are computed using non-local neighborhood instead of local square one. 3) A new normalizing function (i. e. hyperbolic tangent) is implemented. 4) The dynamic of range of b k is increased by multiplying the CVs of the filtered and the originals images. …"

Walking around the preferred speed: examination of metabolic, perceptual, spatiotemporal and stability parameters حسب Lina Majed (7485380)

"…While metabolic, perceptual and spatiotemporal values were sensitive to the smallest change in speed (i.e., 0.5 km·h⁻¹⁾, a significant increase in the rate of carbohydrate oxidation and decrease in % fat oxidation were only observed at speeds above PWS. …"

Transfer function analysis between arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity at cardiac pacing frequencies in the rat حسب Kanbar, Roy

"…In seven urethane-anesthetized rats, AP and RSNA were recorded under baseline conditions (spontaneous HR = 338 ± 6 beats/min, i.e., 5.6 ± 0.1 Hz) and during 70-s periods of cardiac pacing at 6–9 Hz applied in random order. …"

Modeling of photovoltaic soiling loss as a function of environmental variables حسب Wasim Javed (6105866)

"…Overall, higher PM10 resulted in more negative daily ΔCI (i.e. the module became more soiled), and this effect was more visible at low WS and RH levels, but at high WS (>4ms−1) and high RH (>65%) levels, PM10 had no significant (p>0.05, two tailed t-test) effect on daily ΔCI. …"

On-demand mobile sensing framework for traffic monitoring. (c2017) حسب Abdul Rahman, Sawsan

"…When compared to the traditional continuous sensing, our proposed on-demand sensing approach provides comparable high traffic estimation accuracy while significantly reducing the resource consumption.This is achieved by selecting the smallest number of data collectors that can provided the best quality of sensed data, in order to maintain a good traffic estimation accuracy and an improved system performance (i.e., lower response time and network load). …"

Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes حسب Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

"…More pronounced effect on membrane’s mechanical properties was observed due to compatibility of CNTs with PS matrix when compared to other factors (i.e., changes in the CNT aspect ratio). The water contact angle for PS membranes incorporated with commercial CNT sharply decreased from 73° to 53° (membrane hydrophilization) for membranes with 0.1 and 1.0 wt. % of CNTs, while for the same loading of produced CNTs the water contact angles for the membrane samples increased from 66° to 72°. …"

Exercise training-induced speeding of VO₂kinetics is not intensity domain-specific or correlated with indices of exercise performance حسب Erin Calaine Inglis (7042334)

"…There were no PRE to POST differences for CON (p < 0.05) in any variables. Despite significant increases in maximal VO₂ (VO_2max ), estimated lactate threshold (θLT), maximal metabolic steady state (MMSS), and peak power output (PPO) for the intervention groups (p < 0.05), there were no significant correlations from PRE to MID or MID to POST between ΔτVO₂ and Δ V O_2max (r=– 0.221, r = 0.119), ΔPPO (r= – 0.112, r= – 0.017), ΔθLT (r= 0.083, r = 0.142) and ΔMMSS (r= – 0.213, r = 0.049)(p > 0.05).…"
