Novel polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes incorporating polydopamine functionalized graphene oxide with enhanced flux and fouling resistance by Abedalkader Alkhouzaam (15842647)

“…The FRRs of the pristine PSF after three fouling cycles (FRR3) against BSA and HA were recorded to be 57.8% and 70.7% respectively. …”

Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling by Mohammad Y. Ashfaq (14152290)

“…<p dir="ltr">In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the membrane surface properties were improved as the water contact angle was reduced from 41.7 ± 4.5⁰ to 26.9 ± 0.9⁰ demonstrating improvement in hydrophilic properties besides decreasing membrane surface roughness. …”

Luspatercept's use in a patient with transfusion‐dependent beta‐thalassemia and intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) by Mohammed Najdat Seijari (17563263)

“…While also highlighting the benefits of using luspatercept regarding decreasing the iron overload and improving hemoglobin levels and examining how it was used safely to manage a transfusion‐dependent thalassemia patient with an extramedullary hematopoiesis mass with no adverse events of note.…”

Maternal Body Mass Index and Recommended Gestational Weight Gain in a Middle Eastern Setting by Tawa Olukade (11619453)

“…In line with IOM recommendations, we found that higher BMI was correlated with decreased GWG and BMI was significantly associated with GWG even after adjusting for maternal age, parity, and infants’ gestational age at birth. …”

Role of Edge Groups in Defining the Stability of Aromatic Molecules Under Electron Irradiation by Y. Tong (18394389)

“…The simulation results show that the binding energy of the thiol unit to the molecule decreases by more than 15% by including the CH₂ group. …”

Synthesis of lithium manganese oxide nanocomposites using microwave‐assisted chemical precipitation technique and their performance evaluation in lithium‐ion batteries by Hanan Abdurehman Tariq (14778361)

“…Cycling efficiency is also improved, with LMO-CNTs and LMO-GNPs having an initial capacity of 124 and 127 mAhg⁻¹ decreasing to 112 and 114 mAhg⁻¹, respectively, after 50 cycles. …”

Resilience of UAE high-rise buildings to climate change: Impacts of projected climate changes on annual energy demands. by Sallam, Duaa

“…Using glazing with enhanced thermal properties would reduce more energy than applying sensible and latent heat recovery units. However, after 50 years the sensible and latent recovery units would reduce more energy than the enhanced glazing. …”

Physical Exercise Enhanced Heat Shock Protein 60 Expression and Attenuated Inflammation in the Adipose Tissue of Human Diabetic Obese by Abdelkrim Khadir (437074)

“…More interestingly, a 3-month physical exercise differentially affected HSP60 expression and the heat shock response but attenuated inflammation in both groups, as reflected by decreased endogenous levels of IL-6 and TNF-α. Indeed, HSP60 expression levels in SAT were significantly increased by exercise in the diabetes group, whereas they were decreased in the non-diabetes group. …”
