The Candida albicans Dse1 Protein Is Essential and Plays a Role in Cell Wall Rigidity, Biofilm Formation, and Virulence by Khalaf, Roy A.

“…The heterozygote mutant exhibited increased susceptibility to calcofluor white, a cell wall disrupting agent, with a subsequent reduction in cell wall chitin content, decreased oxidative stress tolerance, a 30% reduction in biofilm formation, and a delay in adhesion that was mirrored by a reduction in virulence in a mouse model of infection. …”

Effect of the number of broken wire wraps on the structural performance of PCCP with full interaction at the gasket joint by Hajali, M.

“…The effect of the number and location of broken wire wraps on the structural performance of PCCP is investigated using advanced numerical modeling that considers full interaction between the spigot and bell ends of adjacent pipes. The stresses and strains in the various components of PCCP are evaluated with increasing internal pressure. …”

Nanospace-engineered carbons for reversible storage of natural gas and hydrogen by Romanos, J.

“…Langmuir and Ono-Kondo analysis of CH4 excess isotherms at 295 K gives surface area (2400-2700 m2/g, agree with BET area), film thickness (~0.4 nm), saturated film density (320-440 g/cm3), and average binding energy (8-9 kJ/mol). 6.Briquetting can increase volumetric storage capacity by factor of 2 if surface area remains constant.…”

3D Tissue-Engineered Vascular Drug Screening Platforms: Promise and Considerations by Isra Marei (11312895)

“…In the body, cells reside within a complex physiological setting, where they interact with and respond to neighboring cells, extracellular matrix, mechanical stress, blood shear stress, and many other factors. …”

Adaptation of a Mice Doppler Echocardiography Platform to Measure Cardiac Flow Velocities for Embryonic Chicken and Adult Zebrafish by Fatiha M. Benslimane (6695087)

“…Theoretically, as the size of the imaged sample decreases, the frequency of the ultrasound transducer needed to image the sample increases. …”

Functional fatigue of Ni50.3Ti25Hf24.7 - Heterogeneities and evolution of local transformation strains by Abuzaid, Wael

“…No homogenization of the transformation strain field was observed as a result of either stress increase or thermal cycling. The transformation strains were localized and the global evolution in their magnitudes was associated with local changes, either increasing or decreasing local strains, in spatially the same regions. …”

Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes by Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

“…The water flux of the fabricated membranes increased considerably (up to 20 times) along with the increase in CNT loading. Conversely, yield stress and Young’s modulus of the membranes dropped with the increase in the CNT loading mainly due to porosity increase. …”

Soluble Neuropilin-1 Response to Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes: Increased Risk or Protection in SARS-CoV-2 Infection? by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is activated in type 2 diabetes (T2D); therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if hypoglycaemia-induced stress in T2D would potentiate serum NRP1(sNRP1) levels, reflecting an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection.…”
