Optimisation of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance Based and Periodic Based Approaches by ALHAJERI, RASHED ABDULLA

“…Although the biggest costs involved in this technology is the installation/capital costs, the subsequent running costs (although less than traditional sources of energy) such as cleaning and maintenance can increase or decrease the feasibility of these panels. Soiling, which is the deposition of materials (usually dust) that obstruct solar radiation falling on the panel and is one of the major factors of production losses in PV panels, and thus managing it will result in a positive economic and technical impact on PV plant feasibility. …”

Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…On average, the right liver (segments V, VI, VII, and VIII) contributed approximately two thirds of TLV (997±279 cm3), and the left liver (segments II, III and IV) contributed approximately one third of TLV (493±127 cm3). Bisegment II+III (left lateral section) contributed about half the volume of the left liver (242±79 cm3), or 16% of TLV. …”

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Alters Neuropilin-1, PlGF, and SNAI1 Expression Levels and Predicts Breast Cancer Patients Response by Noura Al-Zeheimi (5177066)

“…Kaplan–Meier analysis indicated that patients who received NAC cycles and their excised tumors remained with high levels of NRP-1 had a lower overall survival compared with patients whose tissue NRP-1 decreased post-NAC (log-rank <i>p</i> = 0.049). <i>In vitro</i> validation of the former result showed an increase in the secreted and cellular NRP-1 levels in resistant MDA-MB-231 cells to the most common NAC regimen Adriyamicin/cyclophosphamide+Paclitaxel (AC+PAC). …”
