XPS and material properties of raw and oxidized carbide-derived carbon and their application in antifreeze thermal fluids/nanofluids by Ismail W. Almanassra (14151321)

“…The stability results revealed that the oxidized CDC has better stability and higher zeta potential values than the emulsified CDCs; however, both mixtures demonstrated stable suspensions for three months. Viscosity measurements showed that the gum arabic CDC suspensions have a higher viscosity than the oxidized CDC; the viscosity was growing with CDC and gum arabic loadings and decreased with temperature. …”

A comparison of peer, teacher and self-feedback on the reduction of language errors in student essays by Diab, Nuwar Mawlawi

“…This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of different sources of corrective feedback (teacher, peer, self) on reducing pronoun agreement and lexical errors in student essays. Three Lebanese university student groups sat for a pre-test, received instruction on the errors under study, and practiced correcting them in response to their respective source of feedback. …”

Application of an empirical transport model to simulate retention of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide in sand columns by Choy, Christine Chin

“…Past usage of this material as an ex situ pilot scale treatment filter has shown that it has a high adsorption capacity for a number of heavy metals and therefore would be a good candidate for injection technology. Three suspension concentrations (50, 75 and 100 mg l−1) were pumped through packed sand columns at different flow velocities (3.0, 6.8 and 14.1 cm min−1). …”

“…In vitrectomized eyes, notable decreases were observed: at 30 min, the Ratio of Means (ROM) was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.53; 1.24), indicating a 19% reduction; at 60 min, the ROM of 0.833 (95% CI: 0.77; 0.89) showed a 16.7% reduction; at 90 min, the ROM of 0.757 (95% CI: 0.755; 0.758) corresponded to a 24.3% reduction; at 2 h, the ROM of 0.726 (95% CI: 0.642; 0.820) reflected a 27.4% reduction; at 3 h, the ROM of 0.692 (95% CI: 0.600; 0.797) resulted in a 30.8% reduction; and at 4 h, the ROM of 0.700 (95% CI: 0.363; 1.350) indicated a 30% reduction. …”

Kinetics and thermodynamics of acoustic release of doxorubicin from non-stabilized polymeric micelles by Husseini, Ghaleb

“…The release and re-encapsulation of Dox into Pluronic® P105 micelles was measured by recording the fluorescence of a solution of 10 μg/ml Dox and 10 wt% P105 polymer in phosphate-buffered saline, during and after insonation by ultrasound at three temperatures (25 °C, 37 °C and 56 °C). The experimental data were modeled using a previously published model of the kinetics of the system. …”
