“…When minimally pretreated PW (10-micron cartridge filtration (CF)) was tested in FLS mode, severe membrane fouling occurred and the PRO flux decreased by 60%. In contrast, HF modules showed <1% flux decrease under both minimal and intermediate pretreatment schemes. …”

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. …”

The Effect of Recombinant Anthrax Lethal Toxin on Breast Cancer Cell Motility, Adhesion, and Invasion by El Chami, Dana

Influence of natural gas composition on adsorption in calcite Nanopores: A DFT study by Elkhansa Elbashier (14152815)

“…The results of the simulation calculations showed that as the nanopore diameter decreases, the adsorption energy increases exponentially due to the geometry of the smallest pore that increases the affinity of the molecules to the surface. …”

A comprehensive design and rating study of evaporative coolers and condensers. Part II. Sensitivity analysis by QURESHI, BILAL AHMED

“…For evaporative condenser design, it was seen that, for a 53% increase in the inlet relative humidity, the normalized sensitivity of the surface area increased 1.8 times in value and, for a 15 8C increase in the condenser temperature, the sensitivity increased by 3.5 times. …”

Evidence-based safety education and training for traffic injury prevention by Abbas Motevalian (338825)

“…Bicycle skill training for children and youth may increase their safety knowledge, but not necessarily improve their behavior or decrease their injury rates. Non-legislative interventions were found effective for increasing observed helmet use among bicyclists. …”

Utilization of the internet for physical activity and diet information and its influence on pregnant women’s lifestyle habits in Qatar by Ayman Al-Dahshan (8962568)

“…</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Many pregnant women use the internet to access information about PA and diet, and greater use is associated with more positive lifestyle changes. …”

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. …”

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. …”

Association Between Three-Months Vitamin D Supplementation and Depressive Symptomatology incidence among Saudi Arabian Adults by Khaddaj, Rashel

“…When vitamin D was considered as continuous variable, each unit increase in vitamin D levels was associated with a lower depression prevalence (OR=0.87; 95% CI:0.79-0.95, p=0.005) and when compared to those insufficient, those deficient were 4 times more likely to suffer from depression (OR=4.47, 95% CI:1.39-14.38,p=0.012) Nevertheless, these significant results were lost with further adjustment for BMI, MeDi adherence and physical activity: continuous vitamin D: OR=0.90; 95% CI: 0.81-1.01, p=0.08, deficient versus insufficient:OR=2.18; 95% CI: 0.56-8.47,p=0.259). …”
