Innovative strategies to reduce traffic related injuries and deaths in youth by Joanne Banfield (19794507)

A Study on Reducing Heat Gains through the use of Green Envelope by Alabadla, Mania

“…The first model is the base case which is the building with conventional facades and conventional roof while the other cases are for green roofs with different thickness and living wall case and finally a case for the combination of green roof and living wall. Green roofs can contribute in reducing building`s cooling load however this reduction is varying from the whole building load and the last floor load at a high rise building that is consisting from sixteenth floors which make installing green roofs in low rise buildings more efficient than high rise buildings unless combined with living walls. …”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…This study introduces the look-up table pitch angle and rotational speed control to generate extra power in a strong wind region. Consequently, WECS can produce electric power at a reduced level until the wind speed reaches 35 m/s and the possibility of shutting down the wind turbines decreases. …”

Lead exposure of Bangladeshi women at childbearing age: Does mother's education reduce fetal risk factors? by Sharmind Neelotpol (19732277)

“…Depending on its concentration in the body, lead may cause lower IQ level, autism, abnormal pregnancy outcome, abortion, and increased involvement in crime. As lead can cross the placental barrier and affect the fetus, pregnant women, fetuses, and children are more vulnerable to lead poisoning because of rapid bone mobilization and neurodevelopment. …”

Two-surgeon technique of parenchymal transection contributes to reduced transfusion rate in patients undergoing major hepatectomy by Palavecino, Martin

“…Although transfusion rates can be reduced to almost 0 in uncomplicated hepatectomies, the blood transfusion rates associated with liver resection remain significant at tertiary referral centers, such as ours. …”

Chitosan/Lignosulfonate Nanospheres as “Green” Biocide for Controlling the Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion of Carbon Steel by Pathath Abdul Rasheed (16846898)

“…It was found that 500 µg·mL−1 of the CS/LS nanospheres can be used efficiently for the inhibition of SRB-induced corrosion up to a maximum of 85% indicated by a two fold increase of charge transfer resistance (Rct) on the carbon steel coupons. …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”
