Con-Detect: Detecting Adversarially Perturbed Natural Language Inputs to Deep Classifiers Through Holistic Analysis حسب Hassan Ali (3348749)

"…Even in the worst case, we note a 100% increase in the required number of queries and a 50% increase in the number of words perturbed, suggesting that Con-Detect is hard to evade. …"

Durability of the bond between CFRP plates and concrete exposed to harsh environment حسب Al-Tamimi, Adil

"…It was observed that the specimens exposed to the sun and saline environments experienced an increase in both the bond strength and attained peak loads because exposure of the adhesive to elevated temperature increased the bond because of greater polymer crosslinking, thus creating complex interactions in the polymer matrix. …"

Doppler broadening spectroscopy of carbon black and carbon black-filled rubbers حسب Semaan, Mars E.

"…This is due to (1) reduction in positronium formation as carbon black is added to the rubber, and (2) positron trapping at the carbon black–rubber interface, which depends on the carbon black morphology. The S parameter decreases with the carbon black surface area. The S parameter does not depend on the sample mixing time.…"

1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene Transformation Reaction Compared With Its Transalkylation Reaction With Toluene Over USY Zeolite حسب Al-Khattaf, H

"…Kinetic parameters for the 1,2,4-TMB disappearance during the transalkylation reaction and in its conversion into isomerization and disproportionation products were calculated using the catalyst activity decay function based on time on stream (TOS). The apparent activation energies were found to decrease as follows: E-transalkylation > E-isomerization > E-disproportionation.…"
