Football-induced fatigue in hypoxia impairs repeated sprint ability and perceptual-cognitive skills by Samuel A. Pullinger (8154627)

“…Simulated matches in hypoxia revealed larger decreases, in RS and perceptual-cognitive skills, highlighting the need for optimal acclimatisation strategies, including physical and technical preparation, prior to playing at altitude.…”

A Comparison of Greywater Irrigation and Hydraulic Loading Rate on Growth and Treatment Performance With Various Ornamental Plants by Salam Akinkunmi Alli (21547055)

“…The system suffered a decrease in chlorophyl content across all irrigation conditions except for <i>Pennisetum rubrum</i> which had improved foliage chlorophyll content (3.13±1.49 spad units) at 200 mL/d greywater irrigation. …”

Development of a thermodynamical approach for the prediction of the bulk modulus of spherical cubic silicon carbide <i>(β−SiC)</i> nanosolids by Esam H. Abdul-Hafidh (19420882)

“…On the other hand, <i>B</i>_<em>T</em> was found to decrease as the temperature increased from its bulk value of 226.9 GPa at 273 K to 222.65 GPa at 1673 K . …”

Simulation of the size-composition distribution of atmospheric nanoparticles over Europe by David Patoulias (4722960)

“…The condensation of organics led to an increase (50 %–120 %) in the N100 concentration mainly in central and northern Europe, while the N10 concentration decreased by 10 %–30 %. …”

SynergyGrids: blockchain-supported distributed microgrid energy trading by Moayad Aloqaily (14158932)

“…<p>Growing intelligent cities is witnessing an increasing amount of local energy generation through renewable energy resources. …”

A dramatized method for teaching undergraduate students responsible research conduct by Kuei-Chiu Chen (14108854)

“…Although several governmental and scientific organizations have called for increased training in responsible research conduct, relatively few studies report on the effectiveness of different pedagogical approaches. …”

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.…”

Portfolio Selection Problem Using CVaR Risk Measures Equipped with DEA, PSO, and ICA Algorithms by Abdelouahed Hamdi (14158899)

“…It was found that when solving the Mean-CVaR model with evolutionary algorithms, the risk decreased. …”

Experimental investigation of double-pipe heat exchangers in air conditioning applications by Saud Ghani (7205633)

“…The collected data showed that the system efficiency depends more on the evaporator DIW flowrate than on the condenser DIW flowrate. By increasing the DIW flowrate in the evaporator, the compressor work was shown to decrease, while the COP was shown to increase. …”

Which factor explains the life‐history of <i>Xanthium strumarium</i> L., an aggressive alien invasive plant species, along its altitudinal gradient? by Rafi Ullah (8146836)

“…The X. strumarium exhibits late vegetative and reproductive phenology at higher altitudes, enabling them to occupy an empty niche and benefit from decreased competition for resource acquisition. The lower altitude plants show a higher growth rate (stem size increase, number of leaves, and leaf area) due to the higher nutrient availability. …”

Infliximab versus ciclosporin in steroid resistant acute severe ulcerative colitis: a model-based cost-utility analysis of data from CONSTRUCT pragmatic trial by Mohammed Fasihul Alam (6832217)

“…Beyond 2-year trial follow-up, Markov model predicted a decrease in colectomy rate, but it remained slightly higher for ciclosporin. …”
