Prediction of biogas production from chemically treated co-digested agricultural waste using artificial neural network حسب Fares Almomani (12585685)

"…The CMP was the highest for the substrate with moisture content (%MC) in the range of 34% to 48%, and it decreased for %MC > 50%. The chemical treatment with NaHCO₃ improved the biodegradability of the substrate and increased the CMP by at least 43% with reference to the untreated substrate. …"

Addressing climate change with behavioral science: A global intervention tournament in 63 countries حسب Vlasceanu, Madalina

"…Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interventions’ effectiveness was small, largely limited to nonclimate skeptics, and differed across outcomes: Beliefs were strengthened mostly by decreasing psychological distance (by 2.3%), policy support by writing a letter to a future-generation member (2.6%), information sharing by negative emotion induction (12.1%), and no intervention increased the more effortful behavior—several interventions even reduced tree planting. …"

Evaluation of the cementite morphology influence on the hydrogen induced crack nucleation and propagation path in carbon steels حسب Shabnam Karimi (19457575)

"…A drastic load decrease in the load-displacement (L-D) curve happened under −1550 mV charging for both microstructures accompanied by a straight crack growth path in spheroidite microstruc-ture, independent of grain boundaries or ferrite-cementite interfaces while a competition between the shear crack growth mechanism and the interfacial cracking determines the crack growth path in the lamellar microstructure.…"

Optical coherence tomography findings in autoimmune retinopathy حسب Abazzari, Azin

"…Macular OCT showed reduced central macular and foveal thicknesses in 6 patients (mean thickness 143 ± 30 μm and 131 ± 29 μm respectively). …"

Assessment of Brain Function After 240 Days Confinement Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy حسب Yahya, Fares

"…The FCN shows a significant decrease in most of the right frontal areas. Five different machine learning classifiers are employed to differentiate between two levels of stress resulting in impressive classification accuracy rates: 96.44% with-nearest neighbor (KNN), 95.52% with linear discriminant analysis (LDA), 88.71% with Naïve Bayes (NB), 87.41 with decision trees (DT) and 96.48% with Support Vector Machine (SVM). …"

Drug Resistance Induction and Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of a Candida albicans Drug Sensitive Isolate حسب El Hachem, Setrida Charbel

"…Developing resistance to antifungal drugs can impose a fitness trade-off on the Candida albicans cells, whereby resistance mechanisms, such as efflux pumps or mutations in drug targets, lead to reduced growth rates, biofilm formation and reduced virulence which is what we observed in our study. Biofilm formation decreased by 21.76% in our most resistant isolate. …"
