Alterations in Beta Cell Identity in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes by 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.…”

Research Paper in Speech Recognition Technology by Harbi, Ayla Zaid Mohammed

“…Results of the study showed that the SRT was beneficial. It increased their productivity by 14%, increased number of patients seen for each user by 10%, quality of care increased by 10%, saving almost 20% of the users time in writing their reports, reducing the time between seeing the patients and validating the reports by 18%, and showed potential cost saving of about 22%. …”

Channel Network Control on Seasonal Lake Area Dynamics in Arctic Deltas by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…We find that monthly shrinkage rates have a pronounced structured variability around the channel network with the shrinkage rate systematically decreasing farther away from the channels. This pattern of shrinkage is predominantly attributed to a deeper active layer enhancing near-surface connectivity and storage and greater vegetation density closer to the channels leading to increased evapotranspiration rates. …”

Application of Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO₂) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Wamda Faisal Elmobarak (17058024)

“…Using an MD_dose as low as 10 mg/L attained a %_hdem in the range of 93% - 4.3% for O/W mixtures with C_oil < 2000 mg/L, which slightly decreased to ~90% for higher concentrations. The reported %R_oil(p-value <0.05) was >90 ± 0.1 for tests carried out with pH 7 and C_sur0.1 g/L and declined at higher pH and Csur to % 86.5 due to the increase in emulsion stability. …”

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. …”

Sources of stress for first year students and their perception of the university employed support services by Messarra, Leila Canaan

“…;Results indicated that the main sources of stress for first-year students corresponded to academic factors, decision-making, and time pressure issues. Males experienced more stress than females, in the area of "Developmental Challenges", first generation students experienced less stress than did those students who were not first generation in the areas of "Developmental Challenges" and "Social Problems", and students who did not have a declared course of study (mostly males) had more stress than those students who had a declared course of study. …”
