Microbiota and sensorial attributes of buffalo meat stored under vacuum packaging: combined impact of marination, citrox and oregano essential oil by 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 by 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. …”

Delineating the molecular mechanisms of hippocampal neurotoxicity induced by chronic administration of synthetic cannabinoid AB-FUBINACA in mice by Ayman, Alzu'bi

“…Additionally, we showed that AB-FUBINACA significantly decreased the expression of NR1, an important functional subunit of glutamate/NMDA receptors and closely implicated in the development of toxic psychosis. …”

How global spine sagittal alignment and spinal degeneration affect locomotive syndrome risk in the elderly by Ramada R. Khasawneh (6837734)

“…As LS risk increased, LBP prevalence and VAS scores rose, physical abilities, and back muscle strength decreased. TKA showed no variation across groups, while LLA decreased with advancing LS risk stage. …”

An empirical study on measuring operating efficiency and revenue of real estate assets in the UAE using data envelopment analysis by Alafifi, Abdulrahman

“…Research limitations/implications This study recommends that the FM operational variables that were found to inefficiently contribute to the revenue should be re-examined to test the validity of the findings. …”

Control of the Speed of a Light-Induced Spin Transition through Mesoscale Core-Shell Architecture by 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. …”

Thalidomide-Revisited: Are COVID-19 Patients Going to Be the Latest Victims of Yet Another Theoretical Drug-Repurposing? by Athar Khalil (5906330)

“…In the absence of an effective anti-viral molecule and until the formulation of a successful vaccine, anti-inflammatory drugs might offer a complementary tool for controlling the associated complications of COVID-19 and thus decreasing the subsequent fatalities. Drug repurposing for several molecules has emerged as a rapid temporary solution for COVID-19. …”

Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes by Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

“…<div><p>In this work, novel polysulphone (PS) porous membranes for water desalination, incorporated with commercial and produced carbon nanotubes (CNT), were fabricated and analyzed. It was demonstrated that changing the main characteristics of CNT (e.g., loading in the dope solutions, aspect ratio, and functionality) significantly affected the membrane properties and performance including porosity, water flux, and mechanical and surface properties. …”

Tolfenamic Acid Derivatives: A New Class of Transcriptional Modulators with Potential Therapeutic Applications for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders by Jaunetta Hill (18255631)

“…Specific levels of SP1-driven genes and AD biomarkers such as amyloid precursor protein (APP) and Tau proteins were also decreased as part of this targeted systemic response. …”

Energy saving potential analysis applying factory scale energy audit – A case study of food production by Derar Al Momani (17831981)
