EVALUATION OF MATERIAL NONLINEARITY IN FATIGUED SAMPLES USING AN IMPROVED LAMB-WAVE NONLINEAR PARAMETER by A. Masurkar, Faeez

“…The material nonlinearity is also evaluated using a Physics based nonlinear parameter that depends on the second and third order nonlinear elastic constants and is independent of the propagation distance thereby giving the global material nonlinearity. It is found that for a pristine state, the peak of amplitude-based parameter equals the physics based one and for a fatigued state, the amplitude-based parameter keeps increasing with an increase in fatigue damage. …”

Post‐COVID‐19 Neutropenia in an Infant With Thalassemia Minor: Case Report by Yasmine Elsherif (22045415)

“…The exact mechanism of COVID‐19‐induced neutropenia is not fully understood, but it may involve cytokine‐induced suppression of hematopoiesis and bone marrow repression due to the inflammatory response. Given the potential for serious clinical implications, including increased susceptibility to infections, it is crucial to effectively identify and manage neutropenia in this vulnerable population. …”

Electromagnetic wave effects on microwave transistors using afull-wave time-domain model by Al-Sunaidi, M. A.

“…The results show that the voltage gain increases along the device width. While the amplitude of the input-voltage wave decays along the device width, due to the electromagnetic energy loss to the conducting electrons, the amplitude of the output-voltage wave increases as more and more energy is transferred from the electrons to the propagating wave along the device width. …”
