Graphene oxide/chitosan doped polysulfone membrane for the treatment of industrial wastewater by Ahmed T. Yasir (17302753)

“…GO-CH/Psf membrane containing 0.085 wt% nanocomposite with GO to CH ratio of 1 to 0.01 had an improved permeate flux of 136%. Maintaining the same GO-CH composition of 0.085 wt% and changing GO to CH ratio to 1:1 resulted in better hydrophilicity (contact angle 68°) and increased reversible fouling from 23 to 33%. …”

The Role of Nanofluids and Renewable Energy in the Development of Sustainable Desalination Systems: A Review by Tejvir Singh (18619219)

“…Nanotechnology can play a vital role to achieve specific energy consumption reduction as nanofluids application increases the overall heat transfer coefficient enabling the production of more water for the same size desalination plant. …”

Tamp-X: Attacking explainable natural language classifiers through tampered activations by Hassan Ali (3348749)

“…Recently Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods have been proposed as a method for increasing DNN’s reliability and trustworthiness. These XAI methods are however open to attack and can be manipulated in both white-box (gradient-based) and black-box (perturbation-based) scenarios. …”

Protein Isoaspartate Methyltransferase Is a Multicopy Suppressor of Protein Aggregation in Escherichia coli by Kern, Renee

“…Overexpression of PIMT reduces the amount of preS2-S′-β-galactosidase found in inclusion bodies at 43°C and increases its amount in soluble fractions. It reduces the level of isoaspartate formation in preS2-S′-β-galactosidase and increases its thermal stability in E. coli crude extracts without increasing the thermostability of a control protein, citrate synthase, in the same extracts. …”

Digital radiography image quality evaluation using various phantoms and software by Ioannis A. Tsalafoutas (14776939)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The effects of the exposure parameters on the IQ metrics, determined with the commercial and the IAEA phantoms, were not the same. For example, clear trends of improvement of IQ scores with increased IAK and reduction of most IQ scores with increased kVp were observed mostly with the IAEA phantom, but not with the commercial phantoms (for both automatic and visual scoring methods). …”

Malva pseudolavatera Leaf Extract Promotes ROS Induction Leading to Apoptosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells in Vitro by El Khoury, Marianne

“…Treatment of AML cell lines with M. pseudolavatera methanolic leaf extract showed a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of proliferation and a dose-dependent increase in apoptotic hallmarks such as an increase in phosphatidylserine on the outer membrane leaflet and membrane leakage in addition to DNA fragmentation. …”
