Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on environment, society, and food security by Hafiz Mohkum Hammad (17541432)

“…However, its negative impacts are by far critical such as increased death rate, increased release of microcontaminants (pesticides, biocides, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), flame retardants, and heavy metals), increased biomedical waste generation due to excessive use of safety equipment and its disposal, and municipal solid waste generation. …”

Hepato‐splanchnic fluxes during exercise in patients with cirrhosis—a pilot study by Stefanos Volianitis (22155835)

“…Eight cirrhotic patients performed incremental cycling trials (3 × 10 min; at light (28 [19–37] W; median with range), moderate (55 [41–69] W), and vigorous (76 [50–102] W) intensity). Heart rate increased from 68 (62–74) at rest to 95 (90–100), 114 (108–120), and 140 (134–146) beats/min (<i>P</i> < 0.05), respectively. …”

Treatment of saline solutions using Air Gap Membrane Distillation: Experimental study by Alkhudhiri, Abdullah

“…The flux declines as the concentration of salt and coolant temperatures increase, and increases as the feed temperature and flow rate increase. Moreover, the energy consumption was measured at different salt concentrations for the different membrane pore size and was found to be independent of membrane pore size, and salt type.…”

Sequence MAP decoding of trellis codes for Gaussian and Rayleighchannels by Al-Semari, S.A.

“…Sequence MAP decoding is shown to substantially improve performance under very noisy channel conditions for systems with low-to-moderate redundancy, with relative gain increasing as the rate increases. As a result, coding schemes with multidimensional constellations are shown to have higher MAP gains than comparable schemes with two-dimensional (2-D) constellations. …”
