SARS-CoV-2: An Analysis of the Vaccine Candidates Tested in Combatting and Eliminating the COVID-19 Virus by Elmancy, Laila

“…Even though research has progressed the understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the information gathered about the vaccine trials and their findings have been scarcely distributed to the public in a single study. The information available to scientists has therefore given researchers a pathway to building an efficacious vehicle to substantially decrease the spread of the virus. …”

Ferroelectric Properties and Electrocaloric Effect in Dy2O3 Substitution on Lead-Free (Na0.5 Bi0.5)0.94 Ba0.06TiO3 Ceramic by Turki, O.

“…Higher stability of the ferroelectric (FE) phase was obtained at room temperature for the compositions y = 0.01, 0.02 and 0.05, with optimum values for y = 0.02 as remanent polarization Pr = 32µC/cm2, as well as piezoelectric coefficients d33 = 137 pC/N, kp = 0.27 and kt = 0.16, whereas a higher content of Dy (y = 0.08) induced a remarkable decrease of the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties. …”

Dispatchable capacity optimization strategy for battery swapping and charging station aggregators to participate in grid operations by Mingze, Zhang

“…Considering the characteristics of an aggregator’s multilateral services, in this study, BSCSs need to ensure the quality of swapping service for EV users and participate in the demand-side regulation response. Firstly, we analyze the operation mechanism of a BSCS in the aggregation mode and propose a state transition model for EV batteries. …”

Micromodel Study on Colloid Retention and Mobilization under different Geo-Chemical Conditions during Single and Two-Phase Flow by Nishad, Safna

“…Micromodels are analogs to porous media that allow the real-time visualization of pore-scale processes that occur at highly controllable physio-chemical conditions in the laboratory scale. In this thesis, we used a glass micromodel with representative geometry to observe the pore-scale mechanisms during colloid retention and mobilization experiments in a saturated and unsaturated porous media. …”

Prevention of oral cancer by Malki, Ahmed Mohamed

“…Oral cancer is typically discovered late in its development, most often when it has already metastasized to the lymph nodes, at which point prognosis becomes very poor. Therefore, we firmly believe that it is no longer viable that prevention be considered a person’s own responsibility but rather a matter of a group of health professionals. …”
