Microbiota and sensorial attributes of buffalo meat stored under vacuum packaging: combined impact of marination, citrox and oregano essential oil by Tareq Osaili (11550286)

“…<p dir="ltr">The demand for marinated meat and natural antimicrobials has increased in the last decade. This study aimed to examine the antimicrobial and sensorial effects of natural citrox (0.2% v/w) and oregano essential oil (0.1% v/w) or their combination on marinated buffalo meat stored under vacuum at two storage conditions of 4°C and 12°C. …”

Lactic acid mediates the effects of physical exercise on learning and memory through SIRT1-dependent activation of hippocampal BDNF. (c2018) by Hayek, Lauretta El

“…The action of lactate is dependent on the activation of the Sirtuin1 deacetylase. SIRT1 increases the levels of the transcriptional coactivator PGC1a and the secreted molecule FNDC5, previously shown to mediate Bdnf expression. …”

Knowledge-based virtual outdoor weather event simulator using unity 3D by Noueihed, Hamza

“…We have also conducted performance evaluations to test VOWES loading, execution, and data search time, among other features. Results show that most operations require almost instantaneous or linear time, where search, refresh, and export operations share almost identical performance levels, with execution time increasing by approximately 179 μs for every added game object. …”

SYSTEM DYNAMICS APPROACH FOR WHOLE LIFE CYCLE COST MODELLING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PROJECTS IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES by Sadek, Ahmed

“…This is achieved by applying adjusting risks on project's initial cost at the preconstruction stage with respect to cost and risk behaviours at each time step. Cost impact is following an increasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX time and risk impact is following a decreasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX lifetime. …”

Methane production enhancement from Tetraselmis biomass co-digestion using frying oil residue as co-substrate and ultrasonication as pretreatment by Firas, Feki

“…Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis biomass, sonication pretreatment using specific energy of 1.6 kJ/g VS significantly improved specific methane production by 60.5%. However, increasing specific energy sonication to 3.2 kJ/g VS decreased the positive energy balance of whole process from 8.6 to 5.5 ± 0.3 kJ/g VS. …”

Managing span of control efficiency and effectiveness by El-Kassar, Abdul-Nasser

“…Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address the following issues: first, the significance of the three independent variables (the chassis, trim, and assembly departments) on the three outputs (direct run loss first time capability, jobs per hour (JPH) lost, and injury rate); second, the optimal level of span of control based on the best achieved outputs; and third, whether increasing the span of control post 2009 improved manufacturing outputs in comparison with a span of control pre 2009. …”
