Alterations in Beta Cell Identity in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes حسب Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

"…In diabetes, (1) endocrine identity recapitulates the less mature/less-differentiated fetal/neonatal cell type, possibly representing an adaptive mechanism; (2) residual β cells may be altered in their subtype proportions or other molecular features; (3) in humans, “altered identity” is a preferable term to dedifferentiation as their cellular fate (differentiated cells losing identity or progenitors becoming more differentiated) is unclear as yet.…"

Graphite and metal nitrate-infused HDPE composites for enhanced thermal performance in energy-efficient building envelopes حسب 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. …"
