“…Wasting decreased overall across LMICs between 2000 and 2017, from 8.4% (62.3 (55.1–70.8) million) to 6.4% (58.3 (47.6–70.7) million), but is predicted to remain above the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target of <5% in over half of LMICs by 2025. …”

Performance evaluation of 3D-printed PLA composites doped with WE43 magnesium alloy for bone tissue engineering applications by Sumama Nuthana Kalva (17302906)

“…Incorporating magnesium into PLA for 3D printing significantly affected the composites' dimensional stability and formation quality. While a low Mg content (5 %) only slightly impacted the print quality and dimensions, higher Mg concentrations (10 % and 15 %) led to increased weight, rougher surfaces, dimensional shrinkage in height, and overall poorer formation quality. …”

The Effect of EVA and TPU Custom Foot Orthoses on Running Economy, Running Mechanics, and Comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…Albeit not reaching statistical significance (P = 0.11, η² = 0.12), RE on average improved in EVA (+2.1±4.8% and +2.9±4.9%) and TPU (+0.9±5.9% and +0.9±5.3%) compared to CON at LS and HS, respectively. …”

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

“…Kinetic studies showed superior correlation with the pseudo-second-order model (R² > 0.996), with rate constants decreasing systematically from 767.5 to 216.0 g/mg·min as concentration increased, suggesting secondary chemical interactions may also contribute to the overall mechanism. …”

Electrically conductive hybrid organic crystals as flexible optical waveguides by Li, Liang

“…The elements respond rapidly to temperature by curling or uncurling in about 0.2 s, which in one typical case corresponds to exceedingly fast deformation and recovery rates of 2187.5° and 1458.3° , respectively. In cyclic operation mode, their conductivity decreases less than 1% after 10,000 thermal cycles. …”
