The Photocatalytic Degradation of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin in the Presence of Silver–Titanium Based Catalysts by Samara, Fatin

“…Byproducts of degradation were evaluated using Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC–MS), resulting in 2,3,7-trichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, a lower chlorinated congener and less toxic, as the main degradation product. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate the relative toxicity of the degradation byproducts were a decrease in optical density indicated that some products of degradation could be potentially more toxic than the parent TCDD. …”

Comparative Genomic Mapping Implicates LRRK2 for Intellectual Disability and Autism at 12q12, and HDHD1, as Well as PNPLA4, for X-Linked Intellectual Disability at Xp22.31 by Jonathan D. J. Labonne (18090841)

“…RT-qPCR assays revealed that LRRK2 transcripts were dramatically reduced in our microdeletion patient DGDP289A compared to his healthy grandfather with no deletion. The decreased expression of LRRK2 may affect protein–protein interactions between LRRK2 and its binding partners, of which eight have previously been linked to intellectual disability. …”

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.…”

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

“…In this paper, we address the problem of detecting misbehaving vehicles in Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) using Quality of Service Optimized Link State Routing (QoS-OLSR) protocol. According to this protocol, vehicles might misbehave either during the clusters’ formation by claiming bogus information or after clusters are formed. …”

A combined experimental and computational study of the effect of electron irradiation on the transport properties of aromatic and aliphatic molecular self-assemblies by Y. Tong (18394389)

“…The current rectification also reduces after the electron bombardment. In order to interpret the experimental results and give right diagnostics behind the decrease of the current through the junction after electron irradiation, we supplement the experiment with quantum transport calculations using Green's functional formalism in combination with density functional theory. …”

Graphite and metal nitrate-infused HDPE composites for enhanced thermal performance in energy-efficient building envelopes by Mohammad Amir Khan (23770803)

“…Analysis such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and dielectric spectroscopy analyses further revealed extensive interaction between filler matrices, a decrease in phonon scattering, and a positive increase in crystallinity which led to the improved thermal performance.The TGA results showed that the composite exhibited greater thermal stability, and the residue mass after the decomposition process was 9%, indicating increased carbonization and structural integrity. …”
