Role of Ca in Ni-Ca/Fumed-SiO₂ Catalysts for CO₂ Catalytic Conversion to Methane by Ahmed Aheed Ali Mohammed (22155979)

“…The findings showed that the addition of 0.5% Ca increases the catalyst reducibility, promotes dispersion of Ni sites on the surface of fumed SiO₂ support and prevents the metal from agglomerating. …”

Polysulfone Membranes Embedded with Halloysites Nanotubes: Preparation and Properties by Nagla Kamal (17092960)

“…Compared to the pristine PSF membrane, results show that the total porosity and pore size of PSF/HNTs composite membranes increased when HNTs loadings were more than 0.5 wt % and 1.0 wt %, respectively. …”

Cryogenic Drilling of AZ31 Magnesium Syntactic Foams by Kannan, Sathish

“…AZ31 magnesium matrices were reinforced with hollow alumina ceramic microspheres with varying volume fractions (5%, 10%, 15%) and average bubble sizes. Experimental results showed that the drilling thrust forces increased by 250% with increasing feed rate (0.05 to 0.6 mm/tooth) and 46% with the increasing volume fraction of alumina microspheres (5% to 15%). …”

Theoretical investigation of the structural, elastic, electronic, and dielectric properties of alkali-metal-based bismuth ternary chalcogenides by Syam Kumar R (18597073)

“…All the compounds under investigation are found to be thermodynamically and mechanically stable, with a semiconductor band structure. The Kohn-Sham band gaps range between 0.80 eV and 1.80 eV, when calculated with semilocal functionals, values that increase to 1.24–2.47 eV with hybrid ones. …”

Toxicity assessment of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate using zebrafish embryos: Cardiotoxic potential by Azza Naïja (19137067)

“…In the current study, we investigated the potential toxicity of DEHP using Zebrafish as a biological model. Five ascending concentrations of DEHP were tested in embryos throughout 96 hpf: 0.0086, 0.086, 0.86, 8.6, and 86 mg/L. …”

Remediation of chromite ore processing residue using ferrous sulfate and calcium polysulfide by Wazne, Mahmoud

“…However, when sufficient acid was added, the pH value was controlled at less than 9.27 for a curing period of 1.5 years, which prevented the formation of ettringite.…”

Andrographolide potentiates the antitumor effect of topotecan in acute myeloid leukemia cells through an intrinsic apoptotic pathway by Hodroj, Mohammad Hassan

“…Treating the cells with TP alone led to specific cell-cycle arrest at S phase that was more prominent upon pretreatment combination with andrographolide. Using Annexin V/PI staining to assess the proapoptotic effect following the pretreatment combination showed an increase in the number of apoptotic cells, which was supported by the Western blot results that manifested an upregulation of several proapoptotic proteins expression. …”

Assessment of ferrous chloride and Portland cement for the remediation of chromite ore processing residue by Wazne, Mahmoud

“…Chromite Ore Processing Residue (COPR) is an industrial waste containing up to 7% chromium (Cr) including up to 5% hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)]. The remediation of COPR has been challenging due to the slow release of Cr(VI) from a clinker like material and thereby the incomplete detoxification of Cr(VI) by chemical reagents. …”

The role of protected areas in modulating vegetation response to climatic stressors in hyper-arid ecosystems by Ammar Abulibdeh (15785928)

“…Results show that vegetation sensitivity to climate drivers increased significantly post-protection. For example, in Al Reem, the effect of evaporation on NDVI shifted from a non-significant, 28.1 (p = 0.136) before 2006 to a significant, 18.5 (p = 0.007) after protection, while the number of precipitation events lost its prior significance (β = 3.4, p = 0.016 → p = 0.981). …”
