Laboratory-acquired infections in the Middle East and North Africa region: a systematic review of reported cases and biosafety gaps by M.M. Ayoub (22803866)

“…</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">This review highlights the occupational health risks posed by LAIs in the MENA region, with <i>Brucella spp</i>. identified as the predominant pathogens in reported cases, and it also identifies gaps in biosafety practices.…”

On the Optimization of Band Gaps in Periodic Waveguides by Jamil Renno (14070771)

“…Across both cases, the effect-size analysis (Cliff’s) confirms that observed gaps are generally small to medium at moderate budgets and tend to narrow at higher budgets as solutions converge. …”

Enhanced megaproject management systems in the LNG industry: A case study from Qatar by Salman H. Ashkanani (17317087)

Deletion of <i>RFX6</i> impairs iPSC-derived islet organoid development and survival, with no impact on PDX1⁺/NKX6.1⁺ progenitors by Noura Aldous (15429873)

“…Single-cell analysis revealed high RFX6 expression levels in endocrine clusters across various hESC-derived pancreatic differentiation stages. Upon differentiating iPSCs lacking RFX6 into pancreatic islets, a significant decrease in PDX1 expression at the PF stage was observed, although this did not affect PPs co-expressing PDX1 and NKX6.1. …”

The Global Land Rush and Agricultural Investment in Ghana: Existing Knowledge, Gaps, and Future Directions by John Anku (16946628)

“…Our objective in this review is to provide an overview of what we know about such acquisitions in Ghana while pointing to gaps and directions for future research. Contrary to the perception of large-scale land acquisitions being undertaken by foreign investors, the review shows there is a significant role of Ghanaian investors. …”

A slow but steady nanoLuc: R162A mutation results in a decreased, but stable, nanoLuc activity by Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

“…In this regard, engineering of brighter bioluminescent proteins, i.e. luciferases, has played a significant role. …”
