Snow runoff modelling in the upper Indus River Basin and its implication to energy water food nexus by Hazrat Bilal (7367477)

“…This study employed the Degree-Day Snowmelt Runoff Model alongside the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS and daily ground-based hydro-meteorological data to model the snowmelt runoff response in the UIB. The results indicated a significant increase in the annual and seasonal runoff under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, suggesting more water availability for hydropower and irrigation. …”

Evapotranspiration and water availability response to climate change in the Middle East and North Africa by Salah Basem Ajjur (14150967)

“…The trends in both projections (PET and AET) are exaggerated under SSP5-8.5. The analysis predicted a shortage of water availability (precipitation—AET), which is alarming for most MENA regions. …”

Environmental enrichment and cafeteria diet attenuate the response to chronic variable stress in rats by Zeeni, N.

Global Hotspots for Future Absolute Temperature Extremes From CMIP6 Models by Salah Basem Ajjur (14150967)

“…CMIP6 models were then used to evaluate the changes globally and in 44 reference regions under two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs): SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5. Globally, the analysis showed that, under SSP5‐8.5, TXx and TNx would increase by 0.07°C/year, and TXn (TNn) would increase by 0.09 (0.08)°C/year, during the middle of the 21st century (2021–2050), compared with the reference period (1981–2010). …”

Prevalence and correlates of mental health difficulties following the beirut port explosion: The roles of mentalizing and resilience. by Tohme, Pia

“…Higher mentalizing capacities were positively correlated with higher resilience scores and lower indices of mental health difficulties. Each unit increase in resilience scores was associated with a 3% reduction in meeting PCL-5 cutoff, and poorer mentalizing abilities was associated with a 2-fold increase in the risk of meeting PCL-5 cutoff. …”

The Combined Effect of Loading Frequency, Temperature, and Stress Level on the Fatigue Life of Asphalt Paving Mixtures Using the IDT Test Configuration by Al-Khateeb, Ghazi

“…The IDT fatigue test was conducted in the stress-controlled mode of loading using five stress levels: 288, 360, 432, 504, and 576 kPa (approximately in the range of 42-84 psi loading) representing truck or heavy traffic loadings in real-life conditions, two intermediate temperatures: 20 and 30C, and four loading frequencies: 3, 5, 8, and 10 Hz representing truck speeds of about 12.5-45 km/h. …”
