The ortholog of human ssDNA-binding protein SSBP3 influences neurodevelopment and autism-like behaviors in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> by Safa Salim (9186786)

“…Moreover, Ssdp overexpression led to differential changes in synaptic density in specific brain regions. We observed decreased levels of armadillo in the heads of Ssdp overexpressing flies, as well as a decrease in armadillo and wingless expression in the larval wing discs, implicating the involvement of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway in Ssdp functionality. …”

Optimisation of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance Based and Periodic Based Approaches by ALHAJERI, RASHED ABDULLA

“…Although the biggest costs involved in this technology is the installation/capital costs, the subsequent running costs (although less than traditional sources of energy) such as cleaning and maintenance can increase or decrease the feasibility of these panels. Soiling, which is the deposition of materials (usually dust) that obstruct solar radiation falling on the panel and is one of the major factors of production losses in PV panels, and thus managing it will result in a positive economic and technical impact on PV plant feasibility. …”

Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…On average, the right liver (segments V, VI, VII, and VIII) contributed approximately two thirds of TLV (997±279 cm3), and the left liver (segments II, III and IV) contributed approximately one third of TLV (493±127 cm3). Bisegment II+III (left lateral section) contributed about half the volume of the left liver (242±79 cm3), or 16% of TLV. …”
