A cooperative watchdog model based on Dempster–Shafer for detecting misbehaving vehicles by Abdel Wahab, Omar

“…According to this protocol, vehicles might misbehave either during the clusters’ formation by claiming bogus information or after clusters are formed. A vehicle is considered as selfish or misbehaving once it over-speeds the maximum speed limit or under-speeds the minimum speed limit where such a behavior will lead to a disconnected network. …”

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)

“…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. …”

A comparison of metals in sediments and water in the River Nahr-Ibrahim, Lebanon by Korfali, Samira Ibrahim

“…Data revealed a drop in metal concentrations (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) in sediments at quarry site after its closure. The decrease in precipitation rate, lowering the level of water and the dilution of industrial discharges and decrease in water pH led most probably to the desorption of metals from sediments into the water.…”

PD-L1 Expression in Human Breast Cancer Stem Cells Is Epigenetically Regulated through Posttranslational Histone Modifications by Pramod Darvin (153341)

“…PD-L1 promoter was significantly hypomethylated in MCF-7 tumorspheres, but not from BT-549 tumorspheres, compared with their cell line counterparts. The active demethylation of PD-L1 promoter was confirmed by the increase in the distribution of 5hmC and decrease in 5mC levels and the upregulation of TET3 and downregulation of DNMTs enzymes in MCF-7 tumorspheres, compared with the cell line. …”

What drives cryptocurrency pump and dump schemes: Coin versus market factors? by Lanouar Charfeddine (10705000)

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

“…The developed MD exhibited high recyclability at an effective and stable %R_oil and %_hdem of ~90% and 86.4% after 9 cycles, respectively. Demulsification process best fits the combined Langmuir-Freundlich (L-F) isotherm with highest adsorption capacity (Q_max) of 186.0 ± 5 mg_oil/g_MD compared to 86.0 ± 5 mg_oil/g_MD for Fe₃O₄, which is 1.1 folds greater than Q_max reported in the literature for other demulsifiers.…”

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

“…Arterial ammonia increased in parallel to lactate from 47.3 (40.1–54.5) to 144.4 (120.5–168.3) μmol/L (<i>P</i> < 0.05), although hepatic ammonia uptake increased from 19.5 (12.4–26.6) to 69.5 (46.5–92.5) μmol/min (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Among the 14 amino acids measured, glutamate was released in the liver, while the uptake of free fatty acids decreased. …”

Follow up and comparative assessment of IgG, IgA, and neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 between mRNA-vaccinated naïve and unvaccinated naturally infected individuals ov... by Salma Younes (6424865)

“…At the 7th month, there was a significant decline in antibody responses among VN individuals, but not NI individuals, with a minimum decrease of 3.7-fold (p < 0.001). Among VN individuals, anti-S1 IgA levels began to decrease significantly (1.4-fold; p = 0.007) after two months, and both NtAb and S-RBD IgG levels began to decline significantly (NtAb: 2.0-fold; p = 0.042, S-RBD IgG: 2.4-fold; p = 0.035) after three months. …”
