Acute intense fatigue does not modify the effect of EVA and TPU custom foot orthoses on running mechanics, running economy and perceived comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…Two-way repeated measures ANOVA [condition (CON, EVA, and TPU) × fatigue (fresh and fatigued)] were conducted. Flight time shortened (P = 0.026), peak braking (P = 0.016) and push-off (P = 0.032) forces decreased and vertical stiffness increased (P = 0.014) from before to after the repeated-sprint exercise, independent of footwear condition. …”

Numerical analysis of spatial distribution of carbon in methane dry reforming over supported nickel catalyst in a packed bed reactor by Ahmed Aheed Ali Mohammed (22155979)

“…The total carbon deposited was estimated to be around 18 g after 10,000 s of Time on Stream (TOS) at 650 °C. As the temperature increased, the total carbon deposition decreased, although this reduction became negligible beyond 850 °C. …”

XPS and material properties of raw and oxidized carbide-derived carbon and their application in antifreeze thermal fluids/nanofluids by Ismail W. Almanassra (14151321)

“…Sedimentation visualization and zeta potential testing were employed to investigate stability of nanofluids with time. The stability results revealed that the oxidized CDC has better stability and higher zeta potential values than the emulsified CDCs; however, both mixtures demonstrated stable suspensions for three months. …”
