Frost Growth on Vertical Surfaces with Varying Wettability by El Cheikh, Amne

“…The accumulation of frost on the heat transfer surface increases pressure drop (fan power) and decreases heat transfer, because the frost layer has a low thermal conductivity much lower than that of the heat exchanger material, and it blocks the air flow. …”

Activation of the unfolded protein response in high glucose treated endothelial cells is mediated by methylglyoxal by Zehra Irshad (18614869)

“…MG was increased in high glucose by increased flux of MG formation linked to increased glucose metabolism mediated by proteolytic stabilisation and increase of hexokinase-2 (HK-2); later potentiated by proteolytic down regulation of glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) - the major enzyme of MG metabolism. …”

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF HYBRID LIQUID DESICCANT BASED VAPOR COMPRESSION COOLING SYSTEM by Al-Farayedhi, A.

“…The designed packed bed dehumidifier and the regenerator are combined with a 5-ton capacity vapor compression system along with the heat recovery units. This paper presents results from a detailed experimental investigation of the heat and mass transfer in a structured packing dehumidifier and regenerator under a variety of operating conditions. …”

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

“…Cytotoxicity of [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] was tested on two GBM cell lines, namely A172 and U251. Both cell lines showed increased sensitivity at longer incubation periods of [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] treatment with IC50 values in the pM range, a result attributable to the arginine auxotrophy expressed in those two cell lines. …”

Solar syngas production via methanothermal reduction of strontium oxide by Rahul R. Bhosale (6467102)

“…The process efficiency is also enhanced from 24.5% to 38.7% due to the escalation in the CH₄/SrO ratio from 0.1 to 1. Application of heat recuperation considerably decreased the requirement of solar energy input, and hence the process efficiency is further amplified. …”

Improving the performance of a commercial absorption cooling system by using ejector: A theoretical study by Hamza K. Mukhtar (17821004)

“…It was found that the increase in the ambient temperature not only increased the activation temperature, but it also decreased the COP and increased the circulation ratio (CR). …”

Resilience of UAE high-rise buildings to climate change: Impacts of projected climate changes on annual energy demands. by Sallam, Duaa
