Effect of carbon nanotubes on the bonding mechanism of non-corrosive reinforcements to concrete by Alaa Taha (17302783)

“…Through testing 30 pullout specimens, parameters including maximum bond strength, normalized bond strength, failure mode, and bar slippage under maximum bond stress were evaluated. Results showed a slight reduction in bond strength, minor improvement in normalized bond strength, increased development length of FRP bars, and decreased reinforcement slippage associated with the ultimate bond stress when MWCNTs were incorporated into the concrete mixture. …”

Comparative proteomic analysis of a Candida albicans DSE1 mutant under filamentous and non-filamentous conditions by Khalaf, Roy A.

“…The DSE1 mutant was shown to lack the chitin biosynthesis protein Chs5, explaining the previously observed decrease in chitin biosynthesis. The wild-type strain expressed Pra1, involved in pH response and zinc acquisition, Atg15, a lipase involved in virulence, and Sod1, required for oxidative stress tolerance, in addition to proteins involved in protein biosynthesis, explaining the increase in total protein content observed compared to the mutants strain. …”

Effects of Social Media Use and Dependence on Dietary Intake and Prevalence of Orthorexia in Pregnant and Non-Pregnant Women by Issa, Yara

“…Social media use may negatively affect the dietary choices and intuitive eating behaviors of both pregnant and non-pregnant women. That being said, interventions to regulate social media content and limit exposure to unrealistic thin ideal as well as to educate women about dietary changes and requirements during pregnancy may be helpful to increase intuitive eating behaviors and decrease the risk of disordered eating and orthorexia in this population.…”

Relationship between Asymmetry Indices, Anthropometric Parameters, and Physical Fitness in Obese and Non-Obese High School Students by Monoem Haddad (5345357)

“…In the first regression analysis, controlling for age, body mass, height, and body mass index (BMI), the regression coefficient (B = 0.383, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.088, 0.679], p < 0.05) associated with body fat indicated that with each additional unit of body fat, the YBT AI increased by 0.383 units. In the second regression analysis, controlling for age, body mass, and BMI, the regression coefficients associated with height (B = −1.692, 95% CI [−3.115, −0.269], p < 0.05] and body fat percentage (B = 0.529, 95% CI [0.075, 0.983], p < 0.05) indicated that with each additional unit of height or body fat percentage, the CMJ AI decreased by 1.692 units and increased by 0.529 units. …”
