Loss of FOXA2 induces ER stress and hepatic steatosis and alters developmental gene expression in human iPSC-derived hepatocytes by Maryam Aghadi (17128819)

“…Lack of FOXA2 resulted in significant alterations in the expression of key developmental and functional genes in hepatic progenitors (HP) and mature hepatocytes (MH) as well as an increase in the expression of ER stress markers. Functional assays demonstrated an increase in lipid accumulation, bile acid synthesis and glycerol production, while a decrease in glucose uptake, glycogen storage, and Albumin secretion. …”

An experimental study of a collector and diffuser system on a small demonstration wind turbine by Ghajar, R. F.

“…This paper investigates the possible improvement of a DAWT system by adding a collector fuselage to increase its augmentation ratio. Testing using a small experimental unit shows that adding a collector increases the power augmentation of the DAWT by more than 50%, and increases the mass flow rate through the turbine by increasing the effective upstream area of the wind that enters it. …”

Evaluation of the mode I plastic zone size at the crack tip using RKPM and FEM by Abi Shdid, Caesar

“…Results show that the plastic zone size in crack tip for the plane-strain condition is bigger that plane-stress condition. The reason can be stated that in plane-strain condition due to limitations in third dimension, stress is created in the third dimension (z-direction) and cause to increase the daviatoric stress according to J2-Deformational theory and also cause to increase in plastic zone size. …”
