Long-time stability tests revealed an overall decrease in impedance and an increase in the charge capacity up to 475% of the initial value within three weeks.…”

Formation of Trihalomethanes during Seawater Chlorination by Ahmed Abdel-Wahab (1748986)

“…Rapid decrease of UV absorbance at 254 nm was also observed during seawater chlorination which is indicative of natural organic matter degradation into small organic molecules including THMs and other by-products. …”

A new perspective on cardiovascular drift during prolonged exercise by Amine Souissi (9931616)

“…<p dir="ltr">Prolonged exercise induces cardiovascular drift, which is characterized by decreasing mean arterial pressure (MAP), stroke volume and heart rate increase. …”

Impact of aluminium acetate particles size on the gelation kinetics of polyacrylamide‐based gels: Rheological and molecular simulation study by Ahmed Hamza (7224470)

“…Using 7 wt.% PAM/1 wt.% AlAc with sizes of 25 and 48 μm revealed a crosslinking time of 17 and 115 min, respectively. The addition of bentonite at low crosslinker concentrations (0.5–1 wt.%) did not decrease the gel strength of 7 wt.% PAM/1 wt.% AlAc significantly. …”

Influence of shelf-life duration on mechanical, thermal and shape recovery motion derivatives of shape memory polyurethane by Vasavi, Boggarapu

“…The results indicated that tensile and flexural strength decreased by 35.16 % and 29.3 % respectively, from S1 to S10. …”

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. …”

Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes by Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

“…The water flux of the fabricated membranes increased considerably (up to 20 times) along with the increase in CNT loading. Conversely, yield stress and Young’s modulus of the membranes dropped with the increase in the CNT loading mainly due to porosity increase. …”

Qatar’s Evolving National Identity in Schools: A Twitter Perspective from 2015 to 2019 by Aisha Mohammed Al-Mansoor (20433395)

“…These findings support the notion that during times of crisis, nationalism is articulated more strongly and mobilized as a response to an existential threat.…”

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

“…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. This results into blocking the Fe catalytic sites leading to lower C and O diffusion to the bulk of the sample.…”

Thermally Conductive Polyethylene/Expanded Graphite Composites as Heat Transfer Surface: Mechanical, Thermo-Physical and Surface Behavior by Patrik Sobolčiak (4401364)

“…This enhanced surface wettability was retained over a long time with only a 9% and 18% decrease in RF and corona plasma-treated samples’ surface energy after two months. …”

Deep Learning-Based Fault Diagnosis of Photovoltaic Systems: A Comprehensive Review and Enhancement Prospects by Majdi Mansouri (16869885)

“…The performance of the FDD method depends mainly on the quality of the extracted features including real-time changes, phase changes, trend changes, and faulty modes. …”

Privacy-Preserving Fog Aggregation of Smart Grid Data Using Dynamic Differentially-Private Data Perturbation by Fawaz Kserawi (16904859)

“…We describe our differentially-private model with flexible constraints and a dynamic window algorithm to maintain the privacy-budget loss in infinitely generated time-series data. Our experimental results show a possible decrease in data perturbation error by 51.7% and 61.2% for smart meters and fog-computing data aggregators perturbed data, respectively, compared to the commonly used Gaussian mechanism.…”

Investigation of the structural, optical and gas sensing properties of PANI coated Cu–ZnS microsphere composite by Hemalatha Parangusan (6556133)

Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes by Abushanab, Dina

“…The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable risk factors, including reduced incidence of T2D, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), decreased number of smokers, and reduced total cholesterol. …”
