Which factor explains the life‐history of <i>Xanthium strumarium</i> L., an aggressive alien invasive plant species, along its altitudinal gradient? by Rafi Ullah (8146836)

“…Among climatic variables, mean yearly temperature, mean annual yearly humidity, and mean day length in hours, while in soil variables, organic matter and nitrogen percentage significantly affect the phenological and morphological stages. …”

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). …”

Lewy body-like alpha-synuclein inclusions trigger reactive microgliosis prior to nigral degeneration by Megan F. Duffy (5713772)

“…</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">Our results demonstrate that increases in microglia displaying a reactive morphology and MHC-II expression occur in the substantia nigra in close association with peak numbers of pSyn inclusions, months prior to nigral dopamine neuron degeneration, and suggest that reactive microglia may contribute to vulnerability of SNc neurons to degeneration. …”

Timing and size of flow impingement in a giant intracranial aneurysm at the internal carotid artery by Jou, Liang-Der

“…Flow impingement at the dome occurs approximately 0.11 s after the peak of flow waveform is attained. This time delay also increases with aneurysm size and varies with heart rate and waveform.…”

A Dynamic Rotor Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine with a Blade Transitioning Capability by Antar, Elie

“…The DR VAWT is capable of mimicking a Savonius rotor during the start-up phase and transitioning into a Darrieus one with increasing rotor radius at higher TSRs. The design exploits the fact that with increasing rotor radius, the TSR value increases, where the peak power coefficient is attained. …”

Performance analysis of a small-scale Orthopter-type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine by ElCheikh, A.

“…Wind tunnel experiments were carried out to measure the torque of two-, three, and four-bladed turbine, each at a set of different wind speeds and blade aspect ratios. Increasing solidity was achieved by either decreasing the blade aspect ratio or increasing the number of blades, both resulting in a higher peak power coefficient (Cp,max) of the VAWT. …”
