Operation optimization of propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant LNG Process: A novel integration of knowledge-based and constrained Bayesian optimization approaches by Roba Shady (22048043)

“…In addition, the optimized SEC in this study is 14.5 % to 38.6 % lower than those reported in the literature. At large-scale LNG production (10,000 tons per day), the reduction in the SEC is translated into an 18 MW decrease in compression power, saving approximately 4.7 million $ per year for each C3MR train. …”

Exploring the evolution of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> resistance during the COVID-19 era by Emine Sehmen (22457614)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The average age of the patients was 61.3 ± 21.9 years (range: 18–95), with a majority of 1306 (51.6%) being male. During the pandemic, <i>A. baumannii</i> isolates showed a significant increase in resistance rates for several antibiotics compared to the pre-pandemic period: imipenem (96% vs 35.1%), amikacin (84.1% vs 14.4%), ciprofloxacin (96.9% vs 36.9%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (66.4% vs 27%), and ceftazidime (96.5% vs 33.3%) (all with <i>P</i>< .001). …”
