Flexural strengthening of one-way reinforced concrete slabs using near surface-mounted BFRP bars by Omar Aljidda (17823488)

“…The experimental results demonstrated the remarkable efficacy of the NSM-BFRP bars in enhancing the flexural performance of the strengthened slabs, especially those with lower steel reinforcement ratios. Compared to the control slabs, the ultimate loads were increased by 51‐123% and 21‐44% for slabs with 0.48 and 0.95% steel reinforcement ratios, respectively, while the ductility indices were increased by 10‐53% and 29‐79%. …”

PD-L1 Expression in Human Breast Cancer Stem Cells Is Epigenetically Regulated through Posttranslational Histone Modifications by Pramod Darvin (153341)

“…PD-L1 promoter was significantly hypomethylated in MCF-7 tumorspheres, but not from BT-549 tumorspheres, compared with their cell line counterparts. The active demethylation of PD-L1 promoter was confirmed by the increase in the distribution of 5hmC and decrease in 5mC levels and the upregulation of TET3 and downregulation of DNMTs enzymes in MCF-7 tumorspheres, compared with the cell line. …”
