Land surface temperature responses to land use dynamics in urban areas of Doha, Qatar by Shikha Patel (14151027)

“…The LST data derived from remote sensing sources demonstrates an upward trend for summer and a contrasting trend for winter. Specifically, the mean summer LST increases by 7.64 °C (0.34 °C annually), and the mean winter LST decreases by 4.87 °C (0.22 °C annually). …”

Polyaniline/Polystyrene Blends: In-Depth Analysis of the Effect of Sulfonic Acid Dopant Concentration on AC Conductivity Using Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy by Noora Al-Thani (14147829)

“…Increasing CSA resulted in a decrease in the AC conductivity of the blends. This behaviour was explained in terms of the availability of a lone pair of electrons of the NH groups in the polyaniline, which are typically attacked by the electron-withdrawing sulfonic acid groups of CSA. …”

Novel proteins implicated in lipid metabolism disorders by Nature Research (16552612)

“…</p><p>ANGPTL4 is a protein that is activated during fasting, decreasing the release of free fatty acids from circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. …”

Screening the growth inhibition mechanism of sulfate reducing bacteria by chitosan/lignosulfonate nanocomposite (CS@LS) in seawater media by Kashif Rasool (2542492)

“…The biocidal performance of CS@LS was evaluated by sulfate reduction profiles coupled with analysis of extracted extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays. As the nanocomposite concentration was increased from 50 to 500 µg/mL, the specific sulfate reduction rate (SSRR) decreased from 0.278 to 0.036 g-sulfate/g-VSS*day showing a relative sulfate reduction inhibition of 86.64% as compared to that of control. …”

Basophil-VAMP7 is a vital regulator of skin barrier integrity and chronic itch by Zhang, Wenhao

“…VAMP7 knockout also decreased IL-4 and LTC4 release from basophils. Additionally, OSM downregulated barrier proteins and upregulated pruriceptors in keratinocytes; however, these effects were reversed by SC144, which restored skin barrier function in AIF without affecting itch response in either model. …”

Antibody‐based methods for the measurement of α‐synuclein concentration in human cerebrospinal fluid – method comparison and round robin study by Brit Mollenhauer (482499)

“…Several reasons can account for this variability, including technical ones, such as inter‐assay and inter‐laboratory variation (reproducibility). …”

Modulation of SLFN11 induces changes in DNA Damage response in breast cancer by Christophe Michel Raynaud (17449906)

“…The use of a CRISPR-dCas9 UNISAM and KRAB system could increase or decrease SLFN11 expression significantly (up to fivefold), stably and specifically in BT-549 and T47D cancer cell lines. …”

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Halema Al-Kandari (6316961)

“…However, both nanocomposites should be used with caution at concentration higher than the NOEC (400 mg/L), in particular RGOTi, which significantly (i) caused pericardial and yolk sac edema; (ii) decreased the hatching rate, locomotion, and hematopoietic activities; and (iii) affected the heart rate. …”

Resveratrol-Elicited PKC Inhibition Counteracts NOX-Mediated Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells Exposed to High Glucose by Roberta Giordo (299595)
