Influence of co-current vapor flow on falling film over horizontal tube حسب Furqan Tahir (14429547)

"…In addition, the minimum film thickness decreases by 23.1% for 0.02 kg/(m·s). The high decrement in film thickness can lead to dry patches and scale deposition in case of evaporation.…"

An efficient claim management assurance system using EPC contract based on improved monarch butterfly optimization models حسب K. Mukilan (22224793)

"…Among the prevalent issues in this sector, cash flow problems frequently lead to decreased productivity and efficiency. To address these challenges, a claim management system is developed based on the Improved Monarch Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (IMBOA) and the principles of EPC. …"

Receivers location privacy in avionic crowdsourced networks: Issues and countermeasures حسب Savio Sciancalepore (16864152)

"…</p><p dir="ltr">In this manuscript, we investigate the effectiveness of protecting location privacy in avionic crowdsourced networks. As a worst-case scenario, we demonstrate that, when a feasible number of receivers are deployed in the same area of a protected one, due to the nature of involved ADS-B data, standard time-based localization schemes can identify the location of any protected receiver. …"

Co-doped zigzag graphene nanoribbon based gas sensor for sensitive detection of H₂S: DFT study حسب Ehab Salih (17075206)

"…Moreover, the adsorption distance (D) between H₂S and Cu/Zn-ZGNR decreased remarkably to 2.23 Å and an S–Cu bond was generated. …"

A Modification to Enhance the Survival of the Island FDMA Flap by Adding a Skin Bridge حسب Salim Al Lahham (16515333)

"…</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">This is a case series that includes 9 patients where we describe a technique that has the potential to enhance the survival of the first dorsal metacarpal artery (FDMA) flap and decreases the rate of distal necrosis via addition of a 5-mm skin bridge to the pedicle and by avoiding tunneling. …"

Identification of macrophage activation-related biomarkers in obese type 2 diabetes that may be indicative of enhanced respiratory risk in COVID-19 حسب Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

"…Two potent M1 macrophage activation markers, CXCL9 and CXCL10, were decreased in OT2D. Activated M2 macrophages were characterized by elevated levels of plasma CD163, TFGβ-1, MMP7 and MMP9 in OT2D. …"

An ensemble-based machine learning model for predicting type 2 diabetes and its effect on bone health حسب Belqes Alsadi (18695031)

"…We believe Dapagliflozin prescriptions in Qatar were associated with decreased Gamma Glutamyltransferase and Aspartate Aminotransferase enzyme levels, confirming prior research. …"

Breaking the barriers towards large-scale microalgae-based bio-hydrogen production حسب Isra Koko (22631396)

"…Results showed that cultivation dominates the process cost: typical biomass costs are $3.54–$5.78/kg in tubular PBRs versus $3.42–$4.13/kg in ORPs; an automation/modularization case decreased microalgae production cost from $89 to $16/kg at ∼200 t/yr. …"
