Association of Differing Qatari Genotypes with Vitamin D Metabolites by Youssra Dakroury (9991407)

“…This may be of specific importance in vitamin D replacement strategies with the Q2 genotype requiring less, and the other genotypes requiring more to increase 1,25(OH)2D. Whilst overall the group was vitamin D deficient, total 25(OH)D was higher in diabetes, but 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)2D, and 3epi-25(OH)D were lower in diabetes that did not affect the relationship to genotype.…”

Electrochemical response in ionic polymer transducers by Akle, Barbar J.

“…The charge density accumulated at the electrode also increases with the dielectric permittivity. An increase of the diffusion coefficient increases the peak current and results in a smaller time decay constant. …”

Positron annihilation doppler broadening spectroscopy of carbon black and carbon black-filled rubber polymers by Semaan, Mars E.

“…This behavior can be understood as due to a combination of reduction in positronium formation as carbon black is added to the polymer, and the decrease in positron annihilation with valence electrons in the sample as the amount of carbon black-polymer links are increased. No effect on the S parameter is observed for sample mixing times longer than 45 seconds. …”

Graphite and metal nitrate-infused HDPE composites for enhanced thermal performance in energy-efficient building envelopes by Mohammad Amir Khan (23770803)

“…Analysis such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and dielectric spectroscopy analyses further revealed extensive interaction between filler matrices, a decrease in phonon scattering, and a positive increase in crystallinity which led to the improved thermal performance.The TGA results showed that the composite exhibited greater thermal stability, and the residue mass after the decomposition process was 9%, indicating increased carbonization and structural integrity. …”

Indirect tool-wear maps for tool condition monitoring in dry metal drilling operations by Ammouri, A.H.

“…For verification, this index is found to positively track the corresponding increase in cutting forces. Utilizing this index, an implementation example is presented in this paper by which a real-time tool monitoring of chisel drills is achieved by inputting the CRI along with the cutting parameters to an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) which yielded good tool condition predictions.…”
