Meeting the need for online learning at the HCT: Investigating alternatives to BBVista by Al Mansoori, Aamna Esmaeel

“…The value of personal learning networks (PLNs) is also explored as a means of increasing learner autonomy. Findings show that, although e-learning is becoming more common place amongst staff and students at the HCT, there is no distinct preference for any one repository and teachers and learners are largely independent in their choice of online teaching and learning tools. …”

Knowledge integration in large-scale organizations and networks – Conceptual overview and operational definition by Haddad, Marc

“…Knowledge integration is an emerging discipline in organizational science where the central proposition is that the increasing complexity of products and services being developed and delivered, means that the knowledge required for production is increasingly specialized, varied (multi-disciplinary) and distributed across the organization’s internal boundaries, and as a result there is a need for organizations to continuously gather their knowledge resources in order to maintain their ability to innovate, and to sustain their competitive position in the market. …”

Influence of co-current vapor flow on falling film over horizontal tube by Furqan Tahir (14429547)

“…First, the liquid load is varied between 0.02 and 0.05 kg/(m·s), and its effects on the film thickness and the wetting time are calculated, presented and discussed. Afterwards, the impact of co-current vapor flow on film distribution, wetting time, minimum thickness and its location are quantified and examined by increasing the vapor velocity up to 6 m/s with 2 m/s intervals. …”

Sustainable Detoxification of Methylene Blue in Wastewater via Tea Residue Adsorption: Optimization and Kinetics by Farah F. Salameh (21797300)

“…The impact of various parameters on MB removal was assessed, including solution pH, adsorbent dosage, pollutant concentration, and contact time. Optimal conditions were identified as pH 10, a dosage of 4 g/L, a concentration of 100 mg/L, and a contact time of 2 h, achieving nearly 99% removal efficiency at 25 °C. …”

Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Haissam Abou-Saleh (497840)

“…Although no single sign of cardiotoxicity was observed upon exposure to 200 mg/L of ChNPs, as judged by heartbeat rate, the corrected QT interval (QTc, which measures the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle), maximum cardiac arrest, and ejection fraction assays, the same dosage elicited the impairment of both liver size (decreased liver size, but without steatosis and lipid yolk retention) and neurobehavioral activity (increased movement under different light conditions). …”
