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. …”

Why do some countries produce more capital intensive output than others? by Toukan, Amjad

Surgical Strategies for Synchronous Colorectal Liver Metastases in 156 Consecutive Patients by Bouquet, Antoine

“…Surgical resection of all tumor sites is the only treatment that enables prolonged survival, but the synchronous presentation of CLM has been associated with poor outcomes.1 Preoperative chemotherapy is widely used in these patients to provide early treatment of metastatic disease, to improve patient selection for surgical resection,2 and 3 and to decrease the recurrence rate after surgery.4 The traditional surgical strategy for patients with resectable synchronous CLM includes resection of the primary tumor followed by chemotherapy and then liver resection. …”

An efficient failure-resilient mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed systems leveraging a novel zero-message overlay structure by Mouna Rabhi (17086969)

“…The overlay structure – a unique logical tree – used to control access to the critical section maintains its consistency even when nodes fail. An extensive simulation study demonstrates the viability and efficiency of the proposed algorithm under various node failure models, and relevant metrics (e.g., node queue dimension, number of exchanged messages, and number of disconnected nodes) indicate a graceful degradation in performance with decreasing number of functioning nodes. …”
