Effect of the stretch rate during uniaxial testing on the mechanical properties of prolene by Ammouri, A.H.

“…Statistically significant findings suggest an increasing trend for Prolene® stiffness vs. stretch rate (R2 = 0.9679; two-tailed p value = 0.0025) where the stiffness increases 26.2% when increasing the displacement rate from 1 to 500 mm/min. For extension (%) at peak load, a decreasing trend was found vs. stretch rate (R2 = 0.81; two-tailed p value = 0.037) where increasing the displacement rate from 1 mm/min to 500 mm/min corresponds to a 22% decrease in the relative elongation of the mesh. …”

Renal Function Decline in Recipients and Donors of Kidney Grafts by Bahous, Sola Aoun

“…Results: Decline in renal function was estimated at 1-year post-transplantation and annually thereafter (median follow-up 8 years, range 3.6-18.3), as the mean of the annualized decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. In recipients, filtration rate decreased by 4.8 ± 19.7 ml/min/1.73 m2 the first post-transplant year and at a yearly rate of 2.2 ± 3.8 ml/min/1.73 m2 thereafter. …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by 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. …”

Potential mechanisms of human recombinant arginase I (Co)-PEG5000 [HuArgI (CO) - PRG5000] induced cytotoxicity in glioblastoma cells. (c2018) by El Jawhari, Yassmine

“…Cytotoxicity of [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] was tested on two GBM cell lines, namely A172 and U251. Both cell lines showed increased sensitivity at longer incubation periods of [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] treatment with IC50 values in the pM range, a result attributable to the arginine auxotrophy expressed in those two cell lines. …”
