Plasma volume variations in response to high intensity interval training in obese women: The influential role of menopausal status and age by Jabbour, Georges

“…For all women pre- and post-HIIT comparisons revealed significant differences in the extent of PV reduction at all two points (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age was a significant contributor to the decreases in plasma volume (PV) observed both after warm-up and following the supramaximal cycling test - SCT (r = 0.44 and r = 0.57). …”

Evaluating the effectiveness of current standards for designing Natural ventilation systems in hot climates and potential enhancements by Mourad Aziz, Mourad Magdy

“…The domination was initially sparked by the global warming thread, but it was later promoted by a financial incentive to the landlords which is the increased leasable areas due to reduced floor-to-floor height and absence of vertical stacks, shafts or Atriums. …”

The Effect of Treated Waste-Water on Compaction and Compression of Fine Soil by Attom, Mousa

“…Additionally, the swelling pressure decreased by as much as 16% for both soil types. The result of this research pointed out that the use of treated waste water has a positive effect on compaction and compression properties of clay soil and promise for potential use of this water in engineering applications. …”

Potential mechanisms of human recombinant arginase I (Co)-PEG5000 [HuArgI (CO) - PRG5000] induced cytotoxicity in glioblastoma cells. (c2018) by El Jawhari, Yassmine

“…The addition of chloroquine, an autophagy inhibitor, increased the sensitivity of cells to [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000]-mediated arginine depletion at earlier time points. We also concluded that autophagy was activated in response to arginine depletion and plays a protective role at early time points. …”

A Hybrid Test Compression Technique for Efficient Testing of Systems-on-a-Chip by El-Maleh, Aiman H.

“…In this paper, we propose hybrid test compression techniques that combine the Geometric-Primitives-Based compression technique with the frequency-directed run-length (FDR) and extended frequencydirected run-length (EFDR) coding techniques. Based on experimental results, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid compression techniques in increasing the test data compression ratios over those obtained by the Geometric- Primitives-Based compression technique.…”
