Second-law-based performance evaluation of cooling towers and evaporative heat exchangers by QURESHI, BILAL AHMED

“…Abstract In this paper, we present thermodynamic analysis of counter flow wet cooling towers and evaporative heat exchangers using both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. A parametric study is carried out to determine the variation of second-law efficiency as well as exergy destruction as a function of various input parameters such as inlet wet bulb temperature. …”

AgroAId: A Mobile App System for Visual Classification of Plant Species and Diseases Using Deep Learning and TensorFlow Lite by Reda, Mariam

“…The most lightweight, highaccuracy model is concluded to be an EfficientNetB0 model using a fully retrained base network with optimized hyperparameters, achieving 99% accuracy and demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed approach; it is integrated into our plant care support system in a TensorFlow Lite format alongside the front-end mobile application and centralized cloud database. Finally, our system also uses the collective user classification data to generate spatiotemporal analytics about regional and seasonal disease trends, making these analytics accessible to all system users to increase awareness of global agricultural trends.…”

“…Interpretation The prevalence of IBD increased substantially in many regions from 1990 to 2017, which might pose a substantial social and economic burden on governments and health systems in the coming years. …”

The global, regional, and national burden of stomach cancer in 195 countries, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease study 2017 by Arash Etemadi (330880)

“…Compared with 1990, in 2017 more than 356 000 more incident cases of stomach cancer were estimated, leading to nearly 96 000 more deaths. Despite the increase in absolute numbers, the worldwide age-standardised rates of stomach cancer (incidence, deaths, and DALYs) have declined since 1990. …”

Hearing loss prevalence and years lived with disability, 1990–2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 by Lydia M Haile (9715382)

“…</p><p><br></p><h3>Interpretation</h3><p dir="ltr">As populations age, the number of people with hearing loss will increase. Interventions such as childhood screening, hearing aids, effective management of otitis media and meningitis, and cochlear implants have the potential to ameliorate this burden. …”

Origin of arrhythmias in a heart model by Sheheitli, Hiba

“…An investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of a heart model is presented. The model compartmentalizes the heart into one part that beats autonomously (the x oscillator), representing the pacemaker or SA node, and a second part that beats only if excited by a signal originating outside itself (the y oscillator), representing typical cardiac tissue. …”
