Effects of UV Radiation on Germination, Growth, Chlorophyll Content, and Fresh and Dry Weights of Brassica rapa L. and Eruca sativa L. by Hussan Ara Begum (17542320)

“…The germination percentage in control was recorded as 19.35%, while it was 18.65% in 30min and 19.00% in 120min exposures. Root and shoot growth of the seedlings was markedly reduced by increasing UV radiation. …”

Effect of nickel loading on hydrogen production and chemical oxygen demand (COD) destruction from glucose oxidation and gasification in supercritical water by Youssef, Emhemmed A.

“…The introduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) prior to the feed injection inhibited the catalyst activity and did not increase the hydrogen yield whereas the introduction of H2O2 after 15 min of reaction time increased the hydrogen yield from 0.62 mol/mol to 1.5 mol/mol. …”

Exergames versus self-regulated exercises with instruction leaflets to improve adherence during geriatric rehabilitation: a randomized controlled trial by Peter Oesch (3572426)

“…Adherence was comparable at day one (38 min. in the EG and 42 min. in the CG) and significantly higher in the CG at day 10 (54 min. in the CG while decreasing to 28 min. in the EG, <i>p</i> = 0.007, ES 0.94, 0.39–0.151). …”

Optimizing the number of players and training bout durations in soccer small‐sided games: Effects on mood balance and technical performance by Zouhaier Farhani (22330693)

“…Therefore, coaches should consider longer continuous bouts when planning SSGs‐based training to significantly decrease TMD and enhance technical‐tactical performance in soccer SSGs.…”

Enhanced glucose uptake in phenylbutyric acid-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes by Fakhoury, H.

“…Treating differentiated adipocytes with PBA did not alter their differentiation status, but decreased the leptin to adiponectin ratio. Conclusion: this study showed that PBA enhances adipocyte glucose uptake potentially through its effect on glucose transporter expression and/or trafficking via the PI3K signaling pathway; suggesting PBA as a possible candidate for the ancillary management of diabetes.…”

Colloid retention and mobilization mechanisms under different physicochemical conditions in porous media: A micromodel study by Safna Nishad (16932474)

“…However, hydrophilic colloids redeposited on gas-water-solid interfaces or thin water films because of their greater capillary potential. Therefore, greater filtration efficiency is achieved with the hydrophilic colloids compared to the hydrophobic colloids for which the efficiency can be improved by changing the solution chemistry. …”
