Optoelectronic properties of highly porous silver oxide thin film by Ahmad Al-Sarraj (17151007)

“…The Ag₂O phase of silver oxide appears after 300 s of oxidation under the same conditions, while the optical transparency of the thin film decreases as plasma etching time increases. The sheet resistance of the final film is influenced by the oxidation time and the plasma application periodicity.…”

Thalidomide-Revisited: Are COVID-19 Patients Going to Be the Latest Victims of Yet Another Theoretical Drug-Repurposing? by Athar Khalil (5906330)

“…In the absence of an effective anti-viral molecule and until the formulation of a successful vaccine, anti-inflammatory drugs might offer a complementary tool for controlling the associated complications of COVID-19 and thus decreasing the subsequent fatalities. Drug repurposing for several molecules has emerged as a rapid temporary solution for COVID-19. …”

Performance Analysis of FSO Communications With Diversity Methods by Abou-Rjeily, Chadi

“…By comparing the MIMO and cooperative methods with point receivers, we reach the central result that it is always better, from a diversity gain point of view, to add more apertures to the source and destination rather than adding more relays in their vicinity despite the fact that the fading variance along FSO links decreases with the distance. For receivers that implement aperture averaging, we derive conditions under which MIMO techniques are unconditionally better than cooperative techniques with any network topology.…”

The Sources of Variance in the Helsinki Stock Exchange by Ben Sita, Bernard

“…Furthermore, inserting the ratio of volume expectation to duration expectation in the ARMA model and the vector error correction (VEC) model, we find that the short-term variance increases (decreases) when more (less) than 1 unit share is traded for 1 unit time.…”
