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. …”

Global time differences in road traffic injuries among children and adolescents between and 1990 and 2013: Regional and economical perspectives from global burden of diseases study by Uzma Rahim Khan (19794408)

“…Mortality rates for VRUs and nVRUs also decreased remarkably except among non-VRUs from LICs where the mortality rates increased by 16%. …”

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.

Effect of Bentonite Permeation on the Fabric and Strength of Ottawa Sand by Mourtada, Dani Imad

“…However, resonant column tests on bentonite-treated dry mixed Ottawa Sand samples showed a decrease of the small strain stiffness modulus (Gmax) and thus a decrease in the shear strength of the treated soil compared to that of clean Ottawa Sand samples. …”

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. …”
