Frost Growth on Vertical Surfaces with Varying Wettability by El Cheikh, Amne

“…The accumulation of frost on the heat transfer surface increases pressure drop (fan power) and decreases heat transfer, because the frost layer has a low thermal conductivity much lower than that of the heat exchanger material, and it blocks the air flow. …”

Drying kinetics and thermo-environmental analysis of a PV-operated tracking indirect solar dryer for tomato slices by Abdallah Elshawadfy Elwakeel (19852263)

“…The obtained results showed that the drying time (DT) isn’t significantly change with increasing air speeds from 1 to 2 m/s, this may be due to many reasons such as short DT, high temperature inside drying room, and little difference between the exanimated air speeds. …”

Postprandial lipaemia 10 and 34 hours after playing football: Does playing frequency affect the response? by Darren J. Paul (6905450)

“…Performing three consecutive days of football exercise may offer no greater protective effect for postprandial TG before a period of reduced activity, compared to a single session.…”

Gasoline fume inhalation induces apoptosis, inflammation, and favors Th2 polarization in C57BL/6 mice by Nour-Eldine, Wared

Rescue cerclage by Khoury, Alfred

“…Women who required rescue cerclage after failed prophylactic cerclage (n = 12) were 50% less likely to reach 28 weeks. Advanced dilation of 3 cm and/or prolapsed membranes (n = 18) did not decrease the likelihood of reaching 28 weeks. …”

Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…We separated risk factors into three groups according to trajectory over time: those with a decreasing attributable burden, due largely to declining risk exposure (eg, diet high in trans-fat and household air pollution) but also to proportionally smaller child and youth populations (eg, child and maternal malnutrition); those for which the burden increased moderately in spite of declining risk exposure, due largely to population ageing (eg, smoking); and those for which the burden increased considerably due to both increasing risk exposure and population ageing (eg, ambient particulate matter air pollution, high BMI, high FPG, and high SBP). …”

High-strain ionomeric–ionic liquid electroactive actuators by Akle, Barbar J.

“…Results demonstrate that the surface-to-volume ratio of the metal particulate is critical to increasing the capacitance of the transducer. Increased conductivity of the metal particulates produces improved response at higher frequencies (>10 Hz), but this effect is small compared to the increase in strain produced by maximizing the capacitance. …”
