High-sensitive detection and quantitation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from capillary/fingerstick and venepuncture whole-blood using fluorescence-based rapid lateral flow i... by Samar Shurbaji (9938696)

“…Most of these TSH-LFIAs are designed for qualitative measurements (i.e., if TSH values > 5, or >15 IU/L) and as screening tests for primary hypothyroidism in children and adults. …”

Ratings of Perceived Exertion Misclassify Intensities for Sedentary Older Adults During Graded Cycling Test: Effect of Supramaximal High-Intensity Interval Training by Georges Jabbour (754884)

“…The intervention elicited physiological changes at rest and submaximal intensities, while no improvements were noted for both groups in aerobic fitness (i.e., V˙O₂peak). For both groups, RPE decreases with SCE at 10 min following graded test correlated significantly to V˙O₂ (r = 0.61, p < 0.01). …”

Detailed organic characterization of process water to evaluate reverse osmosis membrane fouling in industrial wastewater treatment by Minier-Matar, Joel

“…In gas production facilities, process water typically has lower salinity (i.e., <10,000 mg/L) which present opportunities for these wastewaters to be treated for beneficial reuse applications via advanced water treatment technologies, such as reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. …”

Application of Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO₂) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Wamda Faisal Elmobarak (17058024)

“…An excellent %_hdem 90% was achieved C_oil in the range 50 e2000 mg/L. Using an MD_dose as low as 10 mg/L attained a %_hdem in the range of 93% - 4.3% for O/W mixtures with C_oil < 2000 mg/L, which slightly decreased to ~90% for higher concentrations. …”

Increased footwear comfort is associated with improved running economy – a systematic review and meta‐analysis by K. Van Alsenoy (21259700)

“…The absolute difference in RE between the most and least comfortable footwear condition was computed, and meta‐analysis was conducted using a random effect model. The most comfortable footwear is associated with a reduction in oxygen consumption (MD: −2.06 mL.kg⁻¹.min⁻¹, 95%CI: −3.71, −0.42, <i>P</i> = 0.01) while running at a set submaximal speed. …”

Effect of hexagonal on the in-plane crushing behaviour of plain weave composite hexagonal quadruple ring system by E. Mahdi (17191210)

“…The materials have been used to accomplish the studies are the plain weave E-glass fabric and the epoxy resin. The tested cellular structures are composed of 4 × 1 hexagonal cells with angles varied between 35° and 60°. …”

A CFD- RSM study of cuttings transport in non-Newtonian drilling fluids: Impact of operational parameters by Abdelrahman M. Awad (16932519)

“…Less effective cuttings transportation (i.e lower CTR) was observed when the hole angle deviated from the vertical. …”

Adaptation of a Mice Doppler Echocardiography Platform to Measure Cardiac Flow Velocities for Embryonic Chicken and Adult Zebrafish by Fatiha M. Benslimane (6695087)

“…We believe this information will help cardiac researchers to establish similar echocardiography platforms in their labs in a practical and economical manner.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2019.00096" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2019.00096</a></p>…”

Mechanisms behind the immediate effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery on type 2 diabetes by Roland E Allen (19187023)

“…The most popular hypothesis is enhanced production of an incretin, active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), in the lower intestine. We therefore set out to test this hypothesis with a model which is simple enough to be robust and credible. …”

IoT‐based mock oxygenator for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation simulator by Aya Sayed (14779249)

“…The conventional simulation approach has a number of limitations. The approach is intrinsically costly since it relies on disposable medical equipment (i.e., oxygenators, heat exchangers, and pumps) that must be replaced regularly due to the damage caused by the liquid used to simulate blood. …”

The Effect of Experimental Recuperative and Appetitive Post-lunch Nap Opportunities, With or Without Caffeine, on Mood and Reaction Time in Highly Trained Athletes by Mohamed Romdhani (9606357)

“…N20 decreased 2CRT after PSD (pre: 411 ± 13 ms vs. post: 366 ± 20 ms; <i>p</i> < 0.001; <i>d</i> = 2.89; Δ% = 10.81) and NSN (pre: 418 ± 29 ms vs. post: 375 ± 40 ms; <i>p</i> < 0.001; d = 1.23; Δ% = 10.23). …”

Rapid mercury removal using living indigenous microalgal communities for water treatment applications by Amr Nasr Fekry (22521185)

“…This research addresses critical knowledge gaps regarding living microalgae-mediated mercury removal and demonstrates <i>MIMA's</i> potential as a sustainable, efficient solution for mercury contamination in aquatic ecosystems, maintaining viability even under nutrient-limited conditions while effectively reducing mercury concentrations to near guideline values at the lowest initial level (10 μg/L).…”

Seroprevalence of camel brucellosis in Qatar by Hashim Alhussain (9167136)

“…Camels below breeding age (i.e., < 4 years old) showed decreased seropositivity (3.4%, 95% CI, 0.1–17.8), compared to (22.8%, 95% CI, 17.4–29.0) seropositivity in camels ≥ 4 years of age, with a significant association between age groups and seropositivity (<i>P</i> = 0.02). …”
