Identification of Important Sea Turtle Areas (ITAs) for hawksbill turtles in the Arabian Region by Pilcher, Nicolas J.

“…Overall, Gulf turtles spent 68% of the time in foraging ground with home ranges of 40–60km2 and small core areas of 6km2. Adult female turtles from Oman were significantly larger than Gulf turtles by ~11cm x¯=81.4CCL and spent 83% of their time foraging in smaller home ranges with even smaller core areas (~3km2), likely due to better habitat quality and food availability. …”

Investigating solar harvesting in various greenhouse designs with semi-transparent PV panels on roofs and sidewalls by Mohammadreza Gholami (17032317)

“…The sensitivity analysis shows that STPV efficiency is the most influential parameters affecting annual output, while ground reflectivity and roof tilt have a smaller impact. The study emphasizes that, for regions like Doha, Qatar, maximizing STPV power output involves expanding south-facing areas and harnessing the potential of wall-mounted panels.…”

Performance evaluation of interrupted and hybrid channel heat sinks for a triple junction high concentrator photovoltaic cell by Muhammad Usman Sajid (14778232)

“…<p>High concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV) systems are designed to minimize the use of semiconductor materials by concentrating sunlight onto a smaller cell area. However, managing the excess heat generated during this concentration is a significant challenge, as it can affect the efficiency and lifespan of the HCPV cells. …”

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)

“…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. …”

Promising approaches for controlled pulmonary drug delivery by Nature Research (16552612)

“…Inhaled drugs are also degraded by enzymes in the lungs, and absorbed rapidly owing to the lungs’ large surface area. Micro- and nanoparticles-based drug delivery systems could potentially improve the delivery of inhaled drugs significantly, because they can be designed in specific shapes and sizes, and with certain other properties that optimize their bioavailability. …”

Adaptation of a Mice Doppler Echocardiography Platform to Measure Cardiac Flow Velocities for Embryonic Chicken and Adult Zebrafish by Fatiha M. Benslimane (6695087)

“…While clinical echocardiography platforms can be used for relatively large animals such as pigs and rats, specialized systems are needed for smaller species. Theoretically, as the size of the imaged sample decreases, the frequency of the ultrasound transducer needed to image the sample increases. …”
