Effect of the stretch rate during uniaxial testing on the mechanical properties of prolene حسب 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. …"

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. …"

Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy Severity Classification Using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System حسب Fahmida Haque (16896489)

"…This study also investigates the changes in muscle activity during gait from three different lower limb muscles (vastus lateralis (VL), tibialis anterior (TA), and gastrocnemius medialis (GM)) electromyography (EMG) of DSPN patients with different severity levels classified by the proposed classifier and observed that VL and GM muscles show an increase in delay for activation peak and decrease in peak magnitude during gait with the progression of DSPN severity. …"

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)

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. …"

Bond durability of sand coated and ribbed basalt FRP bars embedded in high-strength concrete حسب Abathar Al-Hamrani (16494884)

Evaluation of the cementite morphology influence on the hydrogen induced crack nucleation and propagation path in carbon steels حسب Shabnam Karimi (19457575)

"…The results show that both materials are resistant to crack initiation in the H-free condition while under −1050 mV charging, crack propagates through the grain boundaries in a tortuous path in spheroidite mi-crostructure and the lamellar microstructure displayed a higher strength with small cracks propagating through both the grain boundaries and the lamellas. A drastic load decrease in the load-displacement (L-D) curve happened under −1550 mV charging for both microstructures accompanied by a straight crack growth path in spheroidite microstruc-ture, independent of grain boundaries or ferrite-cementite interfaces while a competition between the shear crack growth mechanism and the interfacial cracking determines the crack growth path in the lamellar microstructure.…"
