Driving simulation sickness and the sense of presence: Correlation and contributing factors by Mustafa Almallah (17280568)

“…Importantly, designing buildings that replicate a real-world environment could increase SP and decrease SS. Moreover, designing high quality and resolution scenarios could also increase SP, thus decreasing the severity of SS symptoms. …”

The effects of long-term testosterone treatment on endocrine parameters in hypogonadal men: 12-year data from a prospective controlled registry study by Aksam Yassin (14779204)

“…This was accompanied by an increase in estradiol levels by 14.9 pmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.0001), and decreases in progesterone (0.2 ng/mL, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), LH (10.4 U/L, <i>p</i> < 0.0001) and FSH (8.4 U/L, <i>p</i> < 0.0001) were demonstrated at 12-years. …”

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

“…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. The proposed algorithm decreases the mechanical stress of wind turbine by decelerating rotational speed rather than turbine torque in strong wind regions. …”

Synergetic effects of dodecylamine-functionalized graphene oxide nanoparticles on antifouling and antibacterial properties of polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes by Abedalkader Alkhouzaam (15842647)

“…Permeability, separation and antifouling experiments were performed in a cross-flow membrane setup and showed that flux decreases with the increase in GO and rGO-DDA concentration. rGO-DDA membranes showed higher antifouling and antibacterial performance compared to the pristine PSF and GO membranes. …”
