Battery-Induced Load Hiding and Its Utility Consequences by Aly, Hussein

“…Our findings reveal that the inclusion of battery users in datasets can diminish the quality of conclusions drawn from these data. This can result in a decrease in the Area Under the Curve (AUC) by more than 10% when attempting to profile users within single-occupant and multiple-occupant households. …”

An investigation of endometrial vascularity in normally menstruating women and those in other physiological states using 3D ultrasound imaging by Khan, Ammar Ahmed

“…The uterine and endometrial volume in the postnatal group were nearly double that of the luteal group (P value <0.01 and 0.014, respectively). There was a significant decrease in flow index in the postnatal group compared to the luteal group (P < 0.01), suggesting low flow intensity in the postnatal group. …”

The mechanical and adhesive properties of electrically and thermally conductive polymeric composites based on high density polyethylene filled with nickel powder by Krupa, Igor

“…The stress at break of the composites behaved nonlinearly; the low filler content suppressed necking, resulting in a decrease in stress at break, whereas higher filler content (higher than 10vol.%) led to reinforcement of the composites and therefore increased the stress at break.The presence of nickel particles throughout the HDPE matrix increased the hydrophilicity of the composites. …”
