Quantified Database for Methane Dehydroaromatization Reaction by Nagat Elrefaei (21385544)

“…Another study added minor amounts of C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ to the feed which help reduce regeneration and increase the yield. Studies that used periodic‐switch feeding with H₂, showed promising results as they maintained the performance for a longer time on stream for the same initial yield; thus, maximizing the global yield. …”

Antibiotic use and escherichia coli resistance trends for quinolones and cotrimoxazole in Sweden by Farra, Anna

“…Similar trends could be seen in blood isolates from the same hospitals for the period 1991-98. Clinical laboratory data are subject to bias but surveillance over longer periods of time provides a useful method for detecting trends in increasing resistance and therefore functions as a resistance warning system.…”

Functional fatigue of Ni50.3Ti25Hf24.7 - Heterogeneities and evolution of local transformation strains by Abuzaid, Wael

“…No homogenization of the transformation strain field was observed as a result of either stress increase or thermal cycling. The transformation strains were localized and the global evolution in their magnitudes was associated with local changes, either increasing or decreasing local strains, in spatially the same regions. …”
