Correlation analysis of global sagittal alignment of the spine in cases of low-grade degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis by Ramada Khasawneh (21633371)

“…</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">The patients with DS were categorized into three groups based on the adult spinal deformity classification: type I, defined by a SVA of less than 40 mm; type II, with an SVA ranging from 40 mm to 95 mm; and type III, where the SVA is 95 mm or greater. The study compared age and various sagittal parameters among these groups, including thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), and pelvic incidence (PI).…”

The effectiveness of divalent cation addition for highly saline activated sludge cultures: Influence of monovalent/divalent ratio and specific cations by Raghavendran Sivasubramanian (16931775)

“…It was particularly important in describing hydrophobicity, sludge volume index (SVI) and specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR), with r_partialof 0.879, 0.971 and 0.966 respectively in models that had an r²_adj greater than 0.93. Lower M/D also increased biomass concentrations and reduced extracellular polysaccharides, the latter which in turn correlated strongly with many shape and surface charge measures. …”
