Solar water heating in Lebanon حسب Houri, Ahmad

"…Simplified initial estimates indicate a payback period of 4–5 years while advanced mathematical models (RETScreen) indicate that the most advanced evacuated tube technology has a payback period of less than 9 years at current market prices. With decreasing cost per square meter of installed collectors, payback periods are expected to rapidly decrease. …"

Is board compensation excessive? حسب Dah, Mustafa A.

"…Based on this, we then calculate whether directors of corporate boards are over- or undercompensated. On average, we find greater evidence of over- rather than undercompensation. …"

Adsorption in nanopores with finite pore walls from truncated graphene حسب Firlej, Lucyna

"…We show that the contribution of edges to the total adsorption is not negligible: in smallest pores, with the diameters comparable with the pore width, the edge contribu-tion can be even equally or more important than that of the pore inside. …"

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates حسب Mutasim Baba, Fuad

"…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …"

Gaining or Losing Team Ball Possession: The Dynamics of Momentum Perception and Strategic Choice in Football Coaches حسب Walid Briki (688845)

"…Nonetheless, both variables displayed asymmetrical effects, in the sense that: (1) the strength of positive PM appeared to be easier to decrease than to increase; and (2) the greater the positive PM (or the negative PM), the lesser (or the greater) the coaches’ tendency to make a change in the organization of their teams. …"

Corrosion Evaluation of 316L Stainless Steel in CNT-Water Nanofluid: Effect of CNTs Loading حسب Dana H. Abdeen (18174166)

"…At higher CNT concentrations, accumulated CNTs might form active anodic sites and increase the corrosion rate. SEM images for samples of higher CNT loadings were observed to have higher pit densities and diameters.…"

Optimizing the number of players and training bout durations in soccer small‐sided games: Effects on mood balance and technical performance حسب Zouhaier Farhani (22330693)

"…Therefore, coaches should consider longer continuous bouts when planning SSGs‐based training to significantly decrease TMD and enhance technical‐tactical performance in soccer SSGs.…"

Colloid retention and mobilization mechanisms under different physicochemical conditions in porous media: A micromodel study حسب Safna Nishad (16932474)

"…However, hydrophilic colloids redeposited on gas-water-solid interfaces or thin water films because of their greater capillary potential. Therefore, greater filtration efficiency is achieved with the hydrophilic colloids compared to the hydrophobic colloids for which the efficiency can be improved by changing the solution chemistry. …"

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of fall-related injuries: a retrospective study حسب Ahammed Mekkodathil (4578838)

"…Although the rate of fall-related injuries decreased over the years, the average number of patients per year remained high accounting for 32% of the hospitalized patients with moderate to severe injuries. …"

Evaluation of highly active and stable SiO₂ supported Fe-based catalysts for the catalytic methane decomposition into COx free hydrogen and CNTs حسب Assem T. Mohamed (16023355)

"…Moreover, the catalytic activity in terms of methane conversion, methane decomposition rate, growth activities as well as carbon yields increased with an increase in the Fe loading. At an operating temperature of 650 °C and a GHSV of 8000 h⁻¹, the 75FS catalyst, with a composition of 75 wt%/SiO₂, demonstrated the highest methane decomposition rate of 0.75gCH₄/g-cat.h among the investigated catalysts. …"
