Characterization of the potency and mechanism of action of a novel dual-selective intermolecularly complemented version of Anthrax Lethal Toxin (PAU2R200A- PAL1I207R/FP59) in Acute... by Farhat, Mirna

“…Finally, while IMC/LF treatment did not affect the expression of any of the proteases tested (uPAR, MMP2, and MMP9), treatment with IMC/FP59 did affect their expression with significant cytotoxic responses seen only in cells whose uPAR expression was not affected at any time point post-treatment. In this study, we showed for the first time the potency of IMC PrAg variant on AML cell lines, its mode of action, as well as its mechanism of cell death.…”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…<p dir="ltr">This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong (greater than 25 m/s) wind speed regions. In general, most wind turbines cut off when wind speed is over the cut-out rate; as a result, the power generation of the wind farm decreases. …”

Hydrogen Supplement Co-combustion with Diesel in 2 Compression Ignition Engine by Hamdan, Mohammad O.

Association Between Three-Months Vitamin D Supplementation and Depressive Symptomatology incidence among Saudi Arabian Adults by Khaddaj, Rashel

“…When vitamin D was considered as continuous variable, each unit increase in vitamin D levels was associated with a lower depression prevalence (OR=0.87; 95% CI:0.79-0.95, p=0.005) and when compared to those insufficient, those deficient were 4 times more likely to suffer from depression (OR=4.47, 95% CI:1.39-14.38,p=0.012) Nevertheless, these significant results were lost with further adjustment for BMI, MeDi adherence and physical activity: continuous vitamin D: OR=0.90; 95% CI: 0.81-1.01, p=0.08, deficient versus insufficient:OR=2.18; 95% CI: 0.56-8.47,p=0.259). …”
