The Impact of Acute and Chronic Exercise on Immunoglobulins and Cytokines in Elderly: Insights From a Critical Review of the Literature by Maha Sellami (4351159)

“…Chronic exercise in the form of short-term endurance training (i.e., 12-16 weeks) and long-term combined endurance and resistance training (i.e., 6-12 months) induced increases in salivary SIgA concentration. …”

Effect of climate change on the annual energy consumption of a single family house in British Columbia by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…The simulation results show that for both bylaw and PH cases, heating energy consumption will be reduced while cooling energy consumption will be increased, as a result for bylaw case, the energy consumption will be decreased for four climate zones, while for PH case, the energy consumption will be increased for zone 4 & 5 and decreased for zone 6 & 7. …”

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Antimicrobial Stewardship Program in the Adult General Medicine Setting in Qatar by Dina Abushanab (10696501)

“…</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">Patient records were retrospectively reviewed during two periods: premature ASP (i.e. the 12 months following ASP implementation (May 2015-April 2016)), and mature ASP (i.e. the last 12 months of a 5-year ASP implementation in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) (February 2019-January 2020)). …”

CRISPR-Cas Controls Cryptic Prophages by Sooyeon Song (4891132)

“…We show here that the E. coli CRISPR-Cas system is active and serves to inhibit its nine defective (i.e., cryptic) prophages. Specifically, compared to the wild-type strain, reducing the amounts of specific interfering RNAs (crRNA) decreases growth by 40%, increases cell death by 700%, and prevents persister cell resuscitation. …”

Do Older Adults with Multimorbidity Meet the Recommended Levels of Physical Activity? An Analysis of Scottish Health Survey by Ahmad Salman (3173418)

“…Adherence to PA guidelines seems to be more related to age, BMI, gender (i.e. higher PA adherence in men vs. women), social support (i.e. social deprivation), dietary habits (i.e. fruit and vegetable intake) and social isolation among the elderly. …”

Effect of climate change on the energy performance and thermal comfort of high-rise residential buildings in cold climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…As a result, for the bylaw case, the total energy consumption would be decreased for two climate zones, while for PH case, the total energy consumption would be increased for zone 4 and decreased for zone 7. …”

Energy conversion of heat from abandoned oil wells to mechanical refrigeration - Transient analysis and optimization by Mohammed Al-Khawaja (17093017)

“…Results show that at realistic and conservative conditions, the geofluid temperature considerably decreases for the first four months of operation (by an average of 30 °C) and tends to be constant after half a year of operation. …”

Secrecy Performance of a RIS-Assisted Wireless Network: A Comprehensive Analysis Under Outdated CSI by Tasneem Alshamaseen (22392382)

“…The obtained results demonstrate that the adopted system can achieve an acceptable SOP level even with 10% outdated CSI (i.e., <i>ρ</i>=0.9 ). This resilience indicates that the system can reduce channel estimation frequency to reconfigure the RIS, thus decreasing overall system overhead and complexity and improving energy efficiency. …”
