Effect of clinical hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism on patent diabetes. 59 cases by Hirbli, K.

“…These symptoms, as well as polyuria, polyphagia and even sweating are common to both diseases. Considerable deterioration in the control of glycaemia was observed in 63% of the insulin-treated patients when hyperthyroidism developed, with a 17 to 212% (mean 82%) increase in insulin dosage in 53%. …”

Structural and physical properties of the dust particles in Qatar and their influence on the PV panel performance by Brahim Aïssa (14157243)

“…The installation of PV systems aimed at optimizing solar energy yield is primarily dictated by its geographic location and installation design to maximize solar exposure. However, even when these characteristics have been addressed appropriately, there are other factors that adversely affect the performance of PV systems, namely the temperature-induced voltage decrease leading to a PV power loss and the dust accumulation (soiling). …”

Changes in sphingomyelinases, ceramide, Bax, Bcl2, and caspase-3 during and after experimental status epilepticus by Abi-Habib, Ralph

“…These data suggest that, in this model, Bax is activated early in the process and that its increase is sustained till 12 h after kainic acid injection which is the time of first appearance of caspase-3 activation and TUNEL positivity, and that SMases contribute to increases in ceramide levels during and after status epilepticus.…”

Research Paper in Speech Recognition Technology by Harbi, Ayla Zaid Mohammed

“…Results of the study showed that the SRT was beneficial. It increased their productivity by 14%, increased number of patients seen for each user by 10%, quality of care increased by 10%, saving almost 20% of the users time in writing their reports, reducing the time between seeing the patients and validating the reports by 18%, and showed potential cost saving of about 22%. …”

A new perspective on cardiovascular drift during prolonged exercise by Amine Souissi (9931616)

“…<p dir="ltr">Prolonged exercise induces cardiovascular drift, which is characterized by decreasing mean arterial pressure (MAP), stroke volume and heart rate increase. Cardiovascular drift has been debated for a long time. …”

Channel Network Control on Seasonal Lake Area Dynamics in Arctic Deltas by Tejedor, Alejandro

“…We find that monthly shrinkage rates have a pronounced structured variability around the channel network with the shrinkage rate systematically decreasing farther away from the channels. This pattern of shrinkage is predominantly attributed to a deeper active layer enhancing near-surface connectivity and storage and greater vegetation density closer to the channels leading to increased evapotranspiration rates. …”

Application of Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO₂) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions by Wamda Faisal Elmobarak (17058024)

“…Using an MD_dose as low as 10 mg/L attained a %_hdem in the range of 93% - 4.3% for O/W mixtures with C_oil < 2000 mg/L, which slightly decreased to ~90% for higher concentrations. The reported %R_oil(p-value <0.05) was >90 ± 0.1 for tests carried out with pH 7 and C_sur0.1 g/L and declined at higher pH and Csur to % 86.5 due to the increase in emulsion stability. …”

Evaluation of pretreatment and membrane configuration for pressure-retarded osmosis application to produced water from the petroleum industry by Dareen Dardor (17052381)

“…PRO is typically considered with seawater/river water pairings however greater energy can be recovered from hypersaline solutions including produced water (PW) from the petroleum industry. …”

Graphite and metal nitrate-infused HDPE composites for enhanced thermal performance in energy-efficient building envelopes by Mohammad Amir Khan (23770803)

“…Analysis such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and dielectric spectroscopy analyses further revealed extensive interaction between filler matrices, a decrease in phonon scattering, and a positive increase in crystallinity which led to the improved thermal performance.The TGA results showed that the composite exhibited greater thermal stability, and the residue mass after the decomposition process was 9%, indicating increased carbonization and structural integrity. …”

Indirect tool-wear maps for tool condition monitoring in dry metal drilling operations by Ammouri, A.H.

“…For verification, this index is found to positively track the corresponding increase in cutting forces. Utilizing this index, an implementation example is presented in this paper by which a real-time tool monitoring of chisel drills is achieved by inputting the CRI along with the cutting parameters to an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) which yielded good tool condition predictions.…”
