Enhanced mechanical and corrosion protection properties of pulse electrodeposited NiP-ZrO₂ nanocomposite coatings by Mostafa H. Sliem (6316958)

“…Similarly, the electrochemical results show a gradual increase in corrosion protection behavior of the NiP-ZrO₂ coatings with increasing ZONP concentration, reaching an eventual value ~5.8 kΩ cm⁻² at NiP-1.0 ZrO₂ coating composition, which is six times greater than the pure NiP coatings. …”

Association Between Three-Months Vitamin D Supplementation and Depressive Symptomatology incidence among Saudi Arabian Adults by Khaddaj, Rashel

“…When vitamin D was considered as continuous variable, each unit increase in vitamin D levels was associated with a lower depression prevalence (OR=0.87; 95% CI:0.79-0.95, p=0.005) and when compared to those insufficient, those deficient were 4 times more likely to suffer from depression (OR=4.47, 95% CI:1.39-14.38,p=0.012) Nevertheless, these significant results were lost with further adjustment for BMI, MeDi adherence and physical activity: continuous vitamin D: OR=0.90; 95% CI: 0.81-1.01, p=0.08, deficient versus insufficient:OR=2.18; 95% CI: 0.56-8.47,p=0.259). …”

Seasonal variations of trace metal chemical forms in bed sediments of a karstic river in Lebanon by Korfali, Samira Ibrahim

“…Dilution by clean sediment explained winter reductions in total Cd, Cu and Pb; Zn changes were less consistent. Iron occurred mostly (> 77 sum of fractions) in the residual fraction compared with 6– 31 for pollutants; residual Cu and Zn showed a small increase in winter whereas Cd and Pb did not change. …”
