Second-law-based performance evaluation of cooling towers and evaporative heat exchangers by QURESHI, BILAL AHMED

“…For the different input variables investigated, efficiencies were, almost always, seen to increase or decrease monotonically. We notice that an increase in the inlet wet bulb temperature invariably increases the second-law efficiency of all the heat exchangers. …”

Antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities of the oil fractions from wild carrot (Daucus carota ssp. carota) by Shebaby, Wassim N.

“…The sesquiterpene-rich fraction F1 had the highest FIC ability (IC50 = 0.28 mg/ml). Pretreatment with F1 and F4 reversed the CCl4-induced decrease in SOD, CAT, and GST levels and reduced significantly hepatic damage. …”

β-2-himachalen-6-ol by Taleb, Robin I.

“…In this study, we report the isolation and identification of the major compound responsible for the anti-cancer activity of DCOE along with the mechanism of action involved. GC–MS and NMR spectroscopy revealed the identity of the major compound as β-2-himachalen-6-ol, a novel sesquiterpene unique to the Lebanese wild carrot. β-2-Himachalen-6-ol demonstrated potent anti-cancer activity against B16F-10, Caco-2, MB-MDA-231, A549 and SF-268 cancer cells (IC50 13–4 µg/ml; 58–18 µM), with SF-268 cells being the most sensitive. …”

Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel using Potato Peel Extract in 2M HCl Solution by Ibrahim, Taleb

“…A reasonable corrosion inhibition level was obtained at a concentration of 50 ppm (>70% inhibition efficiency). Nyquist plots from Impedance data showed that upon increasing the PPE concentration, the charge transfer resistance increased and the doubled layer capacitance decreased. …”

Improved properties and salt rejection of polysulfone membrane by incorporation of hydrophilic cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles by Muneer M. Ba-Abbad (14151660)

“…<p dir="ltr">In this study, the nanoparticles (NPs) of ZnO and Co²⁺ ions doped ZnO (doped ZnO) were incorporated into a matrix of polysulfone (PSf) membranes to enhance their surface properties prepared using a simple wet phase inversion technique. The hybrid PSf membranes were fabricated with 0.5 wt. % of ZnO and doped ZnO NPs. …”

Recyclable polyaspartate-coated magnetic nanoparticles for sustainable control of calcite and barite scales in oilfield operations by Abdelrahman T. Abdelaal (14674629)

“…Dynamic tube-blocking tests at 100 °C and 1000 psi further confirm effective scaling suppression for 60 min at 50 ppm, demonstrating that immobilization of PASP on a magnetic carrier preserves its intrinsic inhibitory function while enabling recyclable deployment not achievable with free PASP. …”

Mirizzi Syndrome: Mastering the Challenge, Characterization and Management Outcomes in a Retrospective Study of 60 Cases by Yousef Yahia (19756989)

“…Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was the most common surgical approach (76.7%), particularly in type 1 (79.6%), and decreased to 50% in advanced types. Hepaticojejunostomy was more common in the advanced types.…”

Efficacy of Cannabidiol Combination with Cisplatin or Paclitaxel against Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines by Ismail, Jana

“…Nonetheless, priming SK-OV-3 cells with CBD for 24h to sensitize them to the effect of cisplatin or paclitaxel treatment has shown to decrease the IC50 of the chemotherapeutic drugs. Similar results were revealed when the cells were primed with cisplatin or paclitaxel prior to be treated with CBD. …”

Antibody‐based methods for the measurement of α‐synuclein concentration in human cerebrospinal fluid – method comparison and round robin study by Brit Mollenhauer (482499)

“…Pilot data on an immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (IP‐MS) method is also presented. Our results suggest that the four immunochemical methods and the IP‐MS method measure similar forms of α‐synuclein and that a common reference material would allow harmonization of results between immunoassays.…”

Trace element composition of size-fractionated suspended particulate matter samples from the Qatari Exclusive Economic Zone of the Arabian Gulf: the role of atmospheric dust by Oguz Yigiterhan (14151006)
