The nexus between debt structure, firm performance, and the financial crisis: non-linear panel data evidence from Japan by Rami Zeitun (17075215)

“…In addition, there is a U-shaped relationship between firm performance and short-term debt, suggesting that a firm’s profit decreases at lower levels of short-term debt (below 45.2%) and increases at higher levels of debt with short-term maturity. …”

Corrosion Evaluation of 316L Stainless Steel Exposed to CNT-Water Nanofluid by Dana Abdeen (18147583)

“…A maximum inhibition of 61% was achieved in 0.1 wt.% CNTs nanofluid at room temperature. Further increase in the CNTs concentrations and in nanofluid’ temperature showed to decrease the corrosion performance.…”

Energy Efficiency of UAV-Based Communication Systems Powered via Energy Harvesting Through Trajectory Optimization by Mohammad Abou Arkoub (19953132)

“…This thesis presents an energy efficiency scheme based on simultaneously powering a UAV with solar energy and optimizing the trajectory to increase the energy efficiency of the drone. This approach has not only been shown to increase the energy efficiency of the drone but also decrease the carbon footprints.…”

Mortality and socio-economic outcomes among patients hospitalized for stroke and diabetes in the US: a recent analysis from the National Inpatient Sample by Aya Tabbalat (14150019)

“…In those patients, the mean (SD) age slightly decreased from 70 (13) years to 69 (13) years (p-trend < 0.001). …”

Effect of hexagonal on the in-plane crushing behaviour of plain weave composite hexagonal quadruple ring system by E. Mahdi (17191210)

“…Results showed that the hexagonal ring angle has a significant effect on the crush failure loads and energy absorption capability. Increasing the cell angle showed a decrease in energy absorption capability and load carrying capacity. …”

Effect of UV Ageing on the fatigue life of bulk polyethylene by Hamza Lamnii (18806002)

“…The results show an important decrease of the fatigue limit with increasing absorbed UV irradiation dose.…”

Gaining or Losing Team Ball Possession: The Dynamics of Momentum Perception and Strategic Choice in Football Coaches by Walid Briki (688845)

“…Results revealed that positive (or negative) momentum sequence increased (or decreased) perceived PM and increased stick (or switch) choices. …”

Impacts of twenty years of experimental warming on soil carbon, nitrogen, moisture and soil mites across alpine/subarctic tundra communities by Juha M. Alatalo (2931234)

“…<p>High-altitude and alpine areas are predicted to experience rapid and substantial increases in future temperature, which may have serious impacts on soil carbon, nutrient and soil fauna. …”

Persona Transparency: Analyzing the Impact of Explanations on Perceptions of Data-Driven Personas by Joni Salminen (7434770)

“…Contrary to our hypothesis, the perceived credibility of the personas decreases with the increased transparency, possibly due to the technical complexity of the persona profiles disrupting the facade of the personas being real people. …”

Thermodynamic analysis of solar-driven integrated system for efficient brine management and hydrogen production by Nadira Salsabila (16855101)

“…The RED system generates hydrogen at 0.00041 kg/s where the production rate increases with rising current density while the PCA system produces hydrogen at a rate of 0.00024 kg/s. …”

Empirical evaluation of change in crash risk due to lane marking reallocation: A case study in Kochi City, Japan by Hiroaki, Nishiuchi

Measurements of roll, steering, and the far-field wake in track cycling by Shaun Fitzgerald (10222488)

“…There is also seen an increasing steering angle oscillation within each pedal cycle with increasing bicycle velocity which may influence a cyclist’s rolling resistance and the aerodynamic flow around the bicycle’s front end. …”

Rebound effects undermine carbon footprint reduction potential of autonomous electric vehicles by Nuri C. Onat (14779093)

“…However, they are likely to increase road transport activity and life cycle greenhouse emissions, due to several rebound effects. …”

A comprehensive review of the chemical-based conformance control methods in oil reservoirs by Perekaboere Ivy Sagbana (19546987)

“…<div><p>The production of excess water during oil recovery creates not only a major technical problem but also an environmental and cost impact. This increasing problem has forced oil companies to reconsider methods that promote an increase in oil recovery and a decrease in water production. …”
