Phase state of secondary organic aerosol in chamber photo-oxidation of mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…Liquid (bounce fraction; BF < 0.2) at RH > 80 % and nonliquid behaviour (BF > 0.8) at RH < 30 % were observed, with a liquid-to-nonliquid transition with decreasing RH between 30 % and 80 %. This RH-dependent phase behaviour (RH_{BF=0.2, 0.5, 0.8}) increased towards a maximum, with an increasing organic–inorganic mass ratio (MR_org_/inorg) during SOA formation evolution in all investigated VOC systems. …”

Examining time-to-transport decisions in Emergency Medical Services by Hassan Farhat (9000509)

“…As the time spent on scene increases (due to various reasons, among them: spending more time providing clinical treatment and health education because the patient decided not to go to the hospital, or the crew spending more time convincing the patient to go to the hospital by explaining the potential complications of their condition and the potential outcomes of a refusal to go to hospital), the probability of transporting the patient decreases. This trend suggests that extended time could adversely affect patient care if they eventually need to recall for an ambulance. …”

An empirical correlation-based model to predict solid-fluid phase equilibria and phase separation of the ternary system CH₄-CO₂-H₂S by Hani Ababneh (9218272)

“…Overall, it was found that separation of CO₂ in solid phase improves when increasing the operating pressure up to 20 bar, and decreases at higher temperatures. Similarly, the separation of H₂S in either liquid or solid phase improves at higher pressures and lower temperatures. …”

Recovery of business intelligence systems by Haraty, Ramzi A.

“…Any denial of this service will not be tolerated since we cannot know when we need to retrieve a patient’s record. Denial of service affects the continuity of the healthcare system which in turn threatens patients’ lives, decreases the efficiency of the healthcare system and increases the operating costs of the attacked healthcare organization. …”
