Automatic image quality evaluation in digital radiography using for‐processing and for‐presentation images by Ioannis A. Tsalafoutas (14776939)

“…The expected positive effect that increasing IAK and decreasing tube potential should have on IQ was clearly exhibited in two IQ metrics only, the signal difference‐to‐noise‐ratio (SDNR) and the detectability index (d’), for both image types. …”

Intermittent Fasting Regulates Metabolic Homeostasis and Improves Cardiovascular Health by Rawan Diab (16941484)

“…While the prevalence of obesity has been increasing, the incidence of its related complications including dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has also been rising. …”

Conflict in Ukraine and the unsettling ripples: implications on food systems and development in North Africa by Tarek Ben Hassen (15742605)

“…The consequent high fertilizer prices have also affected local food production, decreasing yields and increasing food prices. However, those countries with substantial financial resources (cf. …”
