Microbiota and sensorial attributes of buffalo meat stored under vacuum packaging: combined impact of marination, citrox and oregano essential oil حسب Tareq Osaili (11550286)

"…On the last day of storage, at both 4 and 12°C, the spoilage microorganisms’ populations were lower for the marinated meat (without citrox and EO) by 1–2 log cfu/g (based on microorganism type) compared to its unmarinated counterpart. …"

Molecular Mechanisms of Adiponectin-Induced Attenuation of Mechanical Stretch-Mediated Vascular Remodeling حسب Crystal M. Ghantous (14571292)

"…To mimic hypertension, the rat portal vein (RPV) was mechanically stretched, and the protective effects of APN on mechanical stretch-induced vascular remodeling and the molecular mechanisms involved were examined by using 10 <i>μ</i>g/ml APN. Mechanically stretching the RPV significantly decreased APN protein expression after 24 hours and APN mRNA expression in a time-dependent manner in VSMCs. …"

Control of the Speed of a Light-Induced Spin Transition through Mesoscale Core-Shell Architecture حسب Slimani, Ahmed

"…Isothermal relaxation from the optically induced high spin state of the core back to the low spin state and activation energies associated with the transition between these states were measured. The presence of a shell decreases the activation energy, which is associated with the elastic properties of the core. …"
