Antibacterial Properties of Polysulfone Membranes Blended with Arabic Gum by Souhir Sabri (9553808)

“…These changes were due to the amphiphilic properties of AG macromolecules that contained negatively charged hydrophilic residues. A pronounced decrease in bacterial attachment was seen in the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images for PS/AG membrane samples compared to both commercial (Microdyn-Nadir) and bare PS (without AG) membranes. …”

Structural and physical properties of the dust particles in Qatar and their influence on the PV panel performance by Brahim Aïssa (14157243)

“…However, even when these characteristics have been addressed appropriately, there are other factors that adversely affect the performance of PV systems, namely the temperature-induced voltage decrease leading to a PV power loss and the dust accumulation (soiling). …”

Photocatalytic UV degradation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran in the presence of silver zeolite by Samara, Fatin

“…The optical density showed that in contrast to all the samples, the TCDF irradiated with 254 nm in the presence of AgY2 was high at 40 min inferring a decrease in toxicity of the resultant product. …”

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Performance Adaptations to High-Intensity Interval Training: Are There Differences Between Men and Women? A Systematic Review with Meta-Analyses by Merilyn Lock (9440240)

“…Data were sub-grouped for men and women, baseline training level, mean age, intervention type, and intervention length. …”

Insights on the effect of water content in carburizing gas mixtures on the metal dusting corrosion of iron by El Tayeb Bentria (9904024)

“…We demonstrate that the presence of water on a clean Fe surface promotes different catalytic reactions at the beginning of the simulations that boost the C, H, O diffusion into the sample. At later stage, the formation of oxide scale leads to an elevated concentration of H₂O/OH molecules on the surface due to the decrease in Fe affinity to dissociate water. …”

Production and investigation of flexible nanofibers of sPEEK/PVP loaded with RuO2 nanoparticles by Mariem Chamakh (14150481)

“…The effect of annealing and RuO₂ addition was illustrated by the decrease in fibers diameter. The vibration mode and structure of the samples were studied by Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) along with Raman spectroscopy that revealed the strong interaction as well as crosslinking between the polymer blend and RuO₂. …”

Driving simulation sickness and the sense of presence: Correlation and contributing factors by Mustafa Almallah (17280568)

“…Importantly, designing buildings that replicate a real-world environment could increase SP and decrease SS. Moreover, designing high quality and resolution scenarios could also increase SP, thus decreasing the severity of SS symptoms. …”
