Influence of co-current vapor flow on falling film over horizontal tube by Furqan Tahir (14429547)

“…This study focuses on analyzing the effects of co-current vapor flow on falling film distribution and hydrodynamics. A two-dimensional (2D) computational fluid dynamics model is developed and validated, in which sea water enters at 65 °C, which represents the maximum limit of current MED plant, and falls on a tube of 25.4 mm diameter from a 2 mm orifice. …”

Microwave-synthesized composite preformed particle gels based on tragacanth gum and palygorskite for high-salinity high-temperature conditions by Ahmed Ben Ali (17792594)

“…Swelling behavior in real Gulf seawater (TDS = 45,2 mg/L) and rheological measurements taken at elevated temperatures (80 °C and 100 °C) showed that the addition of Pal enhanced gel rigidity but slightly reduced swelling capacity, likely due to increased steric hindrance. The formulation TPAC₂ (2.5 g Pal) exhibited an optimal balance between swelling (14.2 g/g at 100 °C) and mechanical strength, making it a strong candidate for reservoir applications. …”

Enhancing photocatalytic partial oxidation of methane to methanol: Experimental investigation of 2D/metal oxide composite catalysts by Amira Chebbi (19756983)

“…Among the three catalysts tested, the composite W₁₈O₄₉/g-C₃N₄ demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity of 62.3 μmol g−1 h−1 under visible light, nearly 4-fold higher than pristine W₁₈O₄₉ and 5-fold higher than g-C₃N₄. The enhanced performance is attributed to the forming of a Z-scheme heterojunction system, as evidenced by XPS analysis showing increased oxygen vacancy density and strong electronic coupling between the components, further confirmed by electrochemical characterization revealing improved charge separation efficiency. …”

Sensitivity of endoscopic ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in the diagnosis of pancreas divisum by Azar, Riad R.

“…Results: The sensitivity of EUS for pancreas divisum was 86.7%, significantly higher than the sensitivity reported in the medical records for MDCT (15.5%) or MRCP (60%) (P < 0.001 for each). On review by expert radiologists, the sensitivity of MDCT increased to 83.3% in cases where the pancreatic duct was visualized, with fair IOA ([kappa] = 0.34). …”

Isolation and evaluation of Qatari soil rhizobacteria for antagonistic potential against phytopathogens and growth promotion in tomato plants by Amina BiBi (17679402)

“…Further in-vivo testing regarding the effectiveness of rhizobacteria in the presence of the phytopathogen was also completed using the Hoagland medium. LEMR3 and SALIR5 (both identified as two strains of <i>B. subtilis</i>) supported the tomato seedlings to overcome the disease and significantly (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) increased above and belowground biomass compared to the control. …”
