SYSTEM DYNAMICS APPROACH FOR WHOLE LIFE CYCLE COST MODELLING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PROJECTS IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES by Sadek, Ahmed

“…This is achieved by applying adjusting risks on project's initial cost at the preconstruction stage with respect to cost and risk behaviours at each time step. Cost impact is following an increasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX time and risk impact is following a decreasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX lifetime. …”

Optoelectronic properties of highly porous silver oxide thin film by Ahmad Al-Sarraj (17151007)

“…The Ag₂O phase of silver oxide appears after 300 s of oxidation under the same conditions, while the optical transparency of the thin film decreases as plasma etching time increases. The sheet resistance of the final film is influenced by the oxidation time and the plasma application periodicity.…”

A potential therapeutic agent for sickle cell anaemia by Nature Research (16552612)

“…</p><p>A team of researchers in Basra in southern Iraq studied 42 patients with sickle cell anaemia and found evidence of alterations in the levels of oxidative stress markers, indicating oxidative stress. They also found increased levels of ROS that were associated with decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes and their co-factors.…”
