Rapid simulation of building physical processes using the coarse-grain method by Abi Shdid, Caesar

“…CGM was originally developed as an alternative to conventional fine-grain modeling techniques (such as the Finite Difference Method (FDM) and Finite Element Method (FEM)) to radically increase simulation speed and to ease the tasks of model development and experimentation. …”

The Antioxidant and Pro-apoptotic effects of Sternbergia clusiana Bulb Ethanolic Extract on Breast Cancer Cells in vitro by El Samarji, Mona

“…MDA-MB-231 cells treated with SbBEE exhibited morphological and biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis that were detected through DNA fragmentation, the hyper-expression of phosphatidylserine on the outer leaflet of cells membrane and the upregulation of proteins able to mediate cell death through apoptosis (c-PARP, Bax/ Bcl2). The prominent decrease in ROS levels upon treatment confirmed the antioxidant property of the extract being investigated, highlighting the promising effect of SbBEE in breast cancer treatment.…”

Enhanced Solar Still Efficiency Using Water Film Cooling of the Glass by A.K Abu-Hijleh, Bassam

“…The presence of the cooling film neutralized the effect of wind speed on the still efficiency. The actual gain in still efficiency due to the use of a cooling film is further amplified when the practical considerations of where and how such a still is used are taken into account.…”

Studies of Glyoxalase 1-Linked Multidrug Resistance Reveal Glycolysis-Derived Reactive Metabolite, Methylglyoxal, Is a Common Contributor in Cancer Chemotherapy Targeting the Splic... by Muhanad Alhujaily (11630107)

“…Spliceosomal gene expression correlated positively with Glo1 in human tumor cell lines and tumors. In clinical chemotherapy of breast cancer, increased expression of Glo1 was associated with decreased patient survival, with hazard ratio (HR) = 1.82 (logrank p < 0.001, n = 683) where upper quartile survival of patients was decreased by 64% with high Glo1 expression.…”

Bond durability of sand coated and ribbed basalt FRP bars embedded in high-strength concrete by Abathar Al-Hamrani (16494884)

“…However, specimens with high-strength concrete achieved most of or above their maximum bond strength after the descending stage, while those with normal-strength concrete showed a decrease in bond strength to an approximately constant value with continuous slip. …”

Evaluation of the cementite morphology influence on the hydrogen induced crack nucleation and propagation path in carbon steels by Shabnam Karimi (19457575)

“…The results show that both materials are resistant to crack initiation in the H-free condition while under −1050 mV charging, crack propagates through the grain boundaries in a tortuous path in spheroidite mi-crostructure and the lamellar microstructure displayed a higher strength with small cracks propagating through both the grain boundaries and the lamellas. A drastic load decrease in the load-displacement (L-D) curve happened under −1550 mV charging for both microstructures accompanied by a straight crack growth path in spheroidite microstruc-ture, independent of grain boundaries or ferrite-cementite interfaces while a competition between the shear crack growth mechanism and the interfacial cracking determines the crack growth path in the lamellar microstructure.…”

Multi-Cluster Jumping Particle Swarm Optimization for Fast Convergence by Atiq Ur Rehman (8843024)

“…The classical PSO has limitations of slow convergence rate and trapping in local minima, as the dimensions of the data increase. Moreover, majority of improvements made by the researchers in optimization techniques have focused on the accuracy of solution and have overlooked the convergence speed of an algorithm. …”

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND THE CYBERSECURITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR by Badi, Sulafa

“…Digitisation has rapidly increased within the oil and gas industry. The sector is embracing tech nologies such as the “digital oilfield” and internet of things (IoT) solutions to increase the effi ciency of asset monitoring, the speed of problem identification and resolution, and effective decision-making (Rosner et al., 2017). …”
