Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO₂ reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee Yoon (7179263)

“…The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl⁻ > Br⁻ > I⁻). …”

Secrecy Performance of a RIS-Assisted Wireless Network: A Comprehensive Analysis Under Outdated CSI by Tasneem Alshamaseen (22392382)

“…The obtained results demonstrate that the adopted system can achieve an acceptable SOP level even with 10% outdated CSI (i.e., 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. …”

Quantitative Elastohydrodynamic Film-Forming for an Oil/ Refrigerant System by Bair, Scott

Run Rules-Based EWMA Charts for Efficient Monitoring of Profile Parameters by Ali Yeganeh (16624998)

“…The proposed EWMAR chart with run rules exhibits a much better performance in detecting small and decreasing shifts than the other competing charts. Finally, an example from multivariate manufacturing industry is employed to illustrate the superiority of the EWMAR chart with run rules.…”

Comparative Study of Several Energy Dissipating Devices by Abdul-Latif, Akrum

Graph-Guided Regularized Regression of Pacific Ocean Climate Variables to Increase Predictive Skill of Southwestern U.S. Winter Precipitation by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…Recently, promising data-driven approaches have been proposed, but they often suffer from overparameterization and overfitting due to the short observational record, and they often do not account for spatiotemporal dependencies among covariates (i.e., predictors such as sea surface temperatures). …”

Inhibiting HSP90 changes the expression pattern of PINK1 and BNIP3 and induces oxidative stress in colon cancer cells by Ejlal Abu-El-Rub (5168183)

“…<h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr">Cancer cells can modulate the expression of many proteins that are essential for supporting their uncontrolled proliferation. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is ubiquitously expressed in most cell types and participates in controlling many survival pathways. …”

Deep learning-based modeling of land use/land cover changes impact on land surface temperature in Greater Amman Municipality, Jordan (1980–2030) by Khaled F. Alkaraki (22051967)

“…However, agricultural areas decreased from 152.13 km² (18.5%) in 1980 to 140.38 km² (17%) in 2023, while barren lands decreased from 54.44 km² (6.6%) in 1980 to 34.71 km² (4.22%) in 2023. …”

Thermal challenges in lithium-ion battery technology: Investigating performance and thermal stability by Kenza Maher (22803425)

Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes by Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

“…More pronounced effect on membrane’s mechanical properties was observed due to compatibility of CNTs with PS matrix when compared to other factors (i.e., changes in the CNT aspect ratio). The water contact angle for PS membranes incorporated with commercial CNT sharply decreased from 73° to 53° (membrane hydrophilization) for membranes with 0.1 and 1.0 wt. % of CNTs, while for the same loading of produced CNTs the water contact angles for the membrane samples increased from 66° to 72°. …”
