Optimizing pre-copy live virtual machine migration in cloud computing using machine learning-based prediction model by Raseena M. Haris (17773470)

“…Transferring these dirty pages during pre-copy migration prolongs the overall migration time. If there are large numbers of remaining memory pages after a predefined iteration of page transfer, the stop-and-copy phase is initiated, which significantly increases downtime and negatively impacts service availability. …”

Patterns of Rectal Temperature and Shipping Fever Incidence in Horses Transported Over Long-Distances by Yousuke Maeda (18174976)

“…It has been shown that the incidence of transport-related pyrexia in horses increases with travel time and distance, however, this incidence rate has been expressed as the cumulative number of horses showing pyrexia with the length of travel time during road transport (cumulative percentage), which does not accurately reflect the actual temperature fluctuations and their patterns in relation to shipping fever. …”

Systematic analysis of software development in cloud computing perceptions by Habib Ullah Khan (12024579)

“…Cloud-based software services are becoming increasingly popular, as observed by their widespread use. …”

GPS spoofing detection via crowd-sourced information for connected vehicles by Gabriele Oligeri (14151426)

“…<p>Modern vehicular systems rely on the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to provide accurate and timely services. However, the GPS has been proved to be characterized by an intrinsic insecure design, thus being subject to several security attacks. …”

Hyperspectral-physiological based predictive model for transpiration in greenhouses under CO₂ enrichment by Ikhlas Ghiat (16932564)

“…The XGBoost model outperformed the DNN and SVR models with higher R² of 0.62 – 7.53%, lower RMSE and MAE values of 9.74 – 46.19 mmol/m².s and 13.74 – 39.08 mmol/m².s respectively with microclimate, physiological and hyperspectral based vegetation index inputs. Moreover, the time series prediction with different time steps improved the XGBoost model, achieving an R² of up to 99.0%. …”

Modeling the influence of daily temperature and precipitation extreme indices on vegetation dynamics in Katsina State using statistical downscaling model (SDM) by Mohammad Hadi Ahmad (17632248)

“…All the scenarios present increasing minimum and maximum temperatures and decreasing precipitation, except for RCP8.5, which predicted a more adverse trend. …”

Outcomes of drain versus no drain in total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study by Anas Albasha (17765964)

“…Moreover, tranexamic acid (TXA) use (n = 106) in surgery reduced hospital stays, tourniquet time, drain output, and increased pre- and postoperative haemoglobin and hematocrit levels compared to no TXA group (n = 156) (p < 0.05, z-score reported).…”

Latest Developments in Adapting Deep Learning for Assessing TAVR Procedures and Outcomes by Anas M. Tahir (16870077)

“…Finally, an end-to-end smart DL framework is outlined for real-time assessment and recommendation of the best BHV design for TAVR. …”

Cumulative Incidence of Venous Thromboembolic Events In-Hospital, and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 Months After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: Systematic Review of 87 Studies and Meta-anal... by Walid El Ansari (93732)

“…This study is the first to generate detailed estimates of the incidence and patterns of VTE after MBS over time. The incidence of VTE after MBS is low. Improved estimates and time variations of VTE require longer-term designs, non-aggregated reporting of characteristics, and must consider many factors and the use of data registries. …”

Biochar yield prediction using response surface methodology: effect of fixed carbon and pyrolysis operating conditions by Sabah Mariyam (14150859)

“…<p dir="ltr">Generating value from wastes via pyrolysis has been increasingly researched in recent times. Biochar is a versatile pyrolysis product with yields based on many process parameters, including feedstock type and particle size, and operating conditions such as pyrolysis reactor, heating rate, residence time, and reaction temperature. …”

A review of technical and quality assessment considerations of audio-visual and web-conferencing focus groups in qualitative health research by Hiba Bawadi (3436379)

“…<div><p>The transition from the conventional approach to an online setting in conducting focus groups (FGs) for qualitative research is an increasingly adopted approach in health-related research. …”

Pore-scale simulation of fine particles migration in porous media using coupled CFD-DEM by Ahmed Elrahmani (17128837)

“…Simulations indicate that permeability reduction due to fine migration in porous media is directly proportional to flow velocity. The time required to develop bridging and subsequent clogging of the pore space that lead to permeability reduction decreases as the flow velocity increases. …”

Influence of Cognitive Bias on Decision Making in Mega Projects by ALNUAIMI, WALEED

“…In spite of mega projects yielding amazing outcome and benefits in the respective environments where they are executed, majority of research shows that the performance of projects is extremely below par especially in relation to expenses and time overruns which have been attributed to the features of mega projects which include complexity, wide scope, extended duration, huge funds and environmental settings that prompts increased risks to mega projects than other projects consequently increasing the rate of cost overruns. …”
