Characterization of exercise-induced hemolysis in endurance horses by Patrycja D. Pakula (19438024)

“…Blood plasma was collected before and after the competition and analyzed macroscopically, by ELISA and non-targeted metabolomics with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. A significant increase in all hemolysis parameters was observed after the race, and an association was found between the measured parameters, average speed, and distance completed. …”

Solar water heating in Lebanon by Houri, Ahmad

“…Simplified initial estimates indicate a payback period of 4–5 years while advanced mathematical models (RETScreen) indicate that the most advanced evacuated tube technology has a payback period of less than 9 years at current market prices. With decreasing cost per square meter of installed collectors, payback periods are expected to rapidly decrease. …”

Successful Use of Intravenous B-blocker Therapy in Cardiogenic Shock Supported With Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Series by Alaa Rahhal (14150403)

“…<p dir="ltr">Tachycardia in cardiogenic shock (CS) might reduce the cardiac output (CO) by decreasing the ventricular filling time. Nevertheless, heart rate (HR) control with agents that possess negative inotropy might decrease the CO. …”

An atomistic molecular dynamic model to study the properties of LLDPE and wax by M. F. T. Mosoabisane (17725950)

“…After validation, the application of the model showed that the branch content of modelled LLDPE affected the glass transition temperature when the branch content was 70 per 1000 carbons for models with different branch lengths. …”

Solar hydrogen production via thermochemical magnesium oxide – Magnesium sulfate water splitting cycle by Rahul R. Bhosale (6467102)

“…As per the analysis, this cycle achieved the highest solar-to-fuel energy conversion efficiency (47.7%) at the molar flow rate of Ar = 1 mol/s, thermal reduction temperature = 1490 K, and water splitting temperature = 475 K. …”

Quantitative Compressibility Effects in Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Circular Contacts by Habchi, W.

“…The results reconfirm the well-known observations that minimum film thickness is very little affected by lubricant compressibility while central film thickness decreases linearly with the increase in volume compression of the lubricant. It is also observed that the relative errors on central film thicknesses induced by the use of the Dowson and Higginson relationship for compressibility increase with load and temperature and are very little affected by mean entrainment speed. …”
