A novel hybrid methodology for fault diagnosis of wind energy conversion systems by Khaled Dhibi (16891524)

“…Feature selection pre-processing is an important step to increase the accuracy of the classification algorithm and decrease the dimensionality of a dataset. Therefore, a hybrid feature selection based diagnosis technique, that can preserve the advantages of wrapper and filter algorithms as well as RF model, is proposed. …”

Sleeping habits during COVID-19 induced confinement: A study from Jordan by Mahmoud A. Alomari (14780446)

“…In addition, gender (p < 0.001) is an independent predictor of nighttime sleeping. Being a male is associated with a “decrease” and being a female is associated with an “increase” in nighttime sleeping hours (p < 0.05). …”

Entropy generation due to Laminar Natural Convection over a Heated Rotating Cylinder by A.K. Abu-Hijleh, Bassam

“…Entropy generation increased as the Reynolds number and buoyancy parameter increased. Entropy generation decreased as the cylinder radius increased. For the same combination of Reynolds number and buoyancy parameter, entropy generation was mainly due to thermal effects at small cylinder radii and due to viscous effects at large cylinder radii.…”

Application of Zn-ferrite towards thermochemical utilization of carbon dioxide: A thermodynamic investigation by Rahul R. Bhosale (6467102)

“…At a steady gas-to-gas heat recovery effectiveness equal to 0.7, a rise in the ratio of the molar flow rate of inert sweep gas to the molar flow rate of ZnFe₂O₄ from 10 to 90 is responsible for an increase in the thermal energy required to drive the cycle above 184.9 kW by a factor of 1.45 and decrease in the solar-to-fuel energy conversion efficiency by 4%. …”

The therapeutic potential of matcha tea: A critical review on human and animal studies by Sara Sokary (17337724)

“…The cardio-metabolic effects of matcha have only been studied in animals, but findings were more homogenous. Consuming matcha with a high-fat diet resulted in decreased weight gain velocity, food intake, improved serum glucose and lipid profile, reduced inflammatory cytokines and ameliorated oxidative stress. …”

The thioredoxin homolog YbbN functions as a chaperone rather than as an oxidoreductase by Kthiri, Fatoum

“…In this study, we show that an ybbN-deficient strain displays an increased sensitivity to thermal stress but not to oxidative stress, a normal redox state of its cellular proteins but a decreased expression of several cytoplasmic proteins, including EF-Tu, DnaK, GroEL, trigger factor and several Krebs cycle enzymes, suggesting that the chaperone properties of YbbN are more important in vivo than its redox properties. …”
