Leftover spaces for the mitigation of urban overheating in municipal Beirut by Kaloustian, Noushig

“…The best air temperature reductions correspond to the use of cool material in areas that are far from buildings where there are no shadow effects. In some cases, the introduction of trees leads to an increase of the air temperature near the ground because they became an obstacle of the natural ventilation. …”

An overview of the EU Member States support schemes for the promotion of renewable energy sources by Poullikkas, Andreas

“…Moreover, the different support schemes such as, investment support, feed-in tariffs (FiTs), tradable green certificates, and fiscal and financial measures which the Member States have adopted for the promotion of RES technologies are discussed in detail. Some Member States are implementing a single support scheme for the promotion of RES for power generation (RES-E), e.g., seven Member States use FiTs, or implement a hybrid support scheme by combining all or some of the four categories of the RES-E supporting schemes. …”

Cytotoxicity of [HuArgI (co)-PEG5000]-induced arginine deprivation to ovarian Cancer cells is autophagy dependent by Nasreddine, Ghenwa

“…[HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000]-induced arginine deprivation led to extensive and prolonged activation of autophagy, which proved to be deleterious to cell survival since its inhibition led to a significant decrease in cytotoxicity. This indicates that the activation of autophagy following arginine-deprivation, rather than being protective, mediates cell cytotoxicity leading to death by autophagy.…”

Modeling circadian clock–cell cycle interaction effects on cell population growth rates by El Khatib, N.

“…Particularly, we show that Cry 1, Cry 2 mutations decrease the growth rate of cells, Per 2 mutation enhances it and Bmal 1 knockout increases it for autonomous periods of the cell cycle less than 21 h and decreases it elsewhere. …”

DLC2/StarD13 plays a role of a tumor suppressor in astrocytoma by El-Sitt, Sally

“…However, when we mined the REMBRANDT data, we found that the mRNA levels of StarD13 are indeed higher in the higher grades but much lower than the normal tissues. Knocking down StarD13 using siRNA led to a decrease in cell death and an increase in cell viability, proving that StarD13 is indeed a tumor suppressor in astrocytomas. …”

Ultra-Low Energy CNFET-Based Ternary Combinational Circuits Designs by Ramzi A. Jaber (16888755)

“…The target of this work is to decrease energy consumption by (1) using Multiple-valued logic (MVL) that shows notable enhancements regarding energy consumption over binary circuits and (2) using carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFET) that show better performance than CMOS. …”

A GRASP Approach for Solving Large-Scale Electric Bus Scheduling Problems by Raka Jovanovic (17947838)

“…The results of the conducted computational experiments indicate that an increase in infrastructure investment through high speed chargers can significantly decrease the size of the necessary fleets. The results also show that high speed chargers have a more significant impact than an increase in battery sizes of the EBs.…”

Stability and thermophysical properties test of carbide-derived carbon thermal fluid; a comparison between functionalized and emulsified suspensions by Ismail W. Almanassra (14151321)

“…The results indicated that functionalized-CDC has a higher stability than the emulsified-CDC. LAMBDA thermal conductivity analyzer, differential scanning calorimeter, and discovery hybrid rheometer were used to evaluate the thermal conductivity, heat capacity and viscosity of the suspensions, respectively. …”
