The effects of long-term testosterone treatment on endocrine parameters in hypogonadal men: 12-year data from a prospective controlled registry study by Aksam Yassin (14779204)

“…Blood samples were taken at every other visit to measure levels of total T (TT), calculated free T, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), progesterone and prolactin. We observed an increase in TT of 15.5 nmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.0001), a reduction in SHBG of 10.5 nmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) and an increase in calculated free T of 383.04 pmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) over the study period. …”

Spatiotemporal mapping of groundwater salinity in Al-Batinah, Oman by Ammar, Abulibdeh

“…A salinity map was created to track the changes in groundwater salinity over time in the study area. The results show that water salinity increases over time due to the increase in urbanization and over-pumping of water from these wells. …”

Hepato‐splanchnic fluxes during exercise in patients with cirrhosis—a pilot study by Stefanos Volianitis (22155835)

“…Among the 14 amino acids measured, glutamate was released in the liver, while the uptake of free fatty acids decreased. During exercise at relatively low workloads, arterial lactate and ammonia levels were comparable to those seen in healthy subjects at higher workloads, while euglycemia was maintained due to sufficient hepatic glucose production. …”

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.…”
