An additive manufacturing approach based on electrohydrodynamic printing to fabricate P3HT:PCBM thin films by Zulfikre Esa (19457344)

“…As the annealing temperature and the flow rate were increased, discernible alterations in the PCBM clusters were consequently observed in the blends of the film and the size of the PCBM clusters has decreased by 3% while the distance between them was highly reduced by as much as 82%.…”

Which factor explains the life‐history of <i>Xanthium strumarium</i> L., an aggressive alien invasive plant species, along its altitudinal gradient? by Rafi Ullah (8146836)

“…The X. strumarium exhibits late vegetative and reproductive phenology at higher altitudes, enabling them to occupy an empty niche and benefit from decreased competition for resource acquisition. The lower altitude plants show a higher growth rate (stem size increase, number of leaves, and leaf area) due to the higher nutrient availability. …”

Biochar from food waste: a sustainable amendment to reduce water stress and improve the growth of chickpea plants by Snigdhendubala Pradhan (9872262)

“…Two biochar application rates improved soil quality by increasing soil porosity from 49.3 to ≥ 53.4%, more than doubling cation exchange capacity to ≥ 21.1 cmolc.kg−1, providing a small reduction in bulk density of approximately 10% and decreasing electrical conductivity of the extract by at least 40% in comparison to control condition. …”

Comparison of the Effects of 15 and 60 ,ug/kg Fentanyl Used for Induction of Anesthesia in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease by Abi Nader, Elie

“…Responses to 15 and 60 [mu]g/kg were similar. At 3 min the heart rate (HR) in patients given 15 [mu]/kg increased by 6; whereas the HR in those given 60 [mu]g/kg increased by 14 (P < 0.01). …”

Hyper-Hypo study: A Retrospective Observational Study of Neonatal Hypoglycemia Related to Maternal Hypertension by Thiruveni Ramkumar (17075051)

“…However, a sub-group comparison of neonates (with initial blood glucose <2.6 mmol/L) showed methyldopa to be marginally associated with a 2 mmol/L decrease from the mean initial blood glucose, mean 1.6 ± 0.5 mmol/L, and methyldopa (1.4 ± 0.5 mmol/L; p= .045). …”

Rescue cerclage by Khoury, Alfred

“…Advanced dilation of 3 cm and/or prolapsed membranes (n = 18) did not decrease the likelihood of reaching 28 weeks. Mean gestational age at delivery for this subset of patients was 30.7 ± 7.2 weeks. …”

On the evolution of sub- and super-saturated water uptake of secondary organic aerosol in chamber experiments from mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…With the increase of condensed SOA on inorganic seed particles throughout the experiments, the discrepancy of κHTDMA and κCCN became weaker (down to ∼0 %) and finally the mean κHTDMA was ∼60 % higher than κCCN on average when the SOA mass fraction approached ∼0.8. …”

Role of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections for choroidal neovascularization due to choroidal osteoma by Mansour, Ahmad M.

“…By paired comparison, mean decrease from baseline was 119.7 microns at 6 months (n = 15; P = 0.001 ), 105.3 microns at 1 year (n = 10; P = 0.03 ), and 157.6 microns at 2 years (n = 7;p = 0.08 ). …”

Outcome of home parenteral nutrition in 251 children over a 14-y period by Abi Nader, Elie

“…The major complications of HPN were catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) (1.7/1000 d of PN) and intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) (51 children; 20% of cohort). An increased rate of CRBSIs was observed compared with our previous study, but we saw a decreasing trend since 2012. …”

Analyzing the effectiveness of various coatings to mitigate photovoltaic modules soiling in desert climate by Alaa Elsafi (22282354)

“…The results indicate a decrease in light transmittance and an increase in surface coverage area over time due to dust accumulation. …”

Association Between Serum Bicarbonate Levels and Prediabetes and Subclinical Inflammation in Young Healthy Adults: A Cross-sectional Study by Abeer A Omar (21623774)

“…After multivariable logistic regression, each unit increase in serum bicarbonate was associated with a 17% decreased risk of prediabetes (OR: 0.83, 95%CI: 0.70– 0.99, <i>p</i>=0.034), in males but no association was observed for females. …”

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI: Evaluating the Effect of the EEG Cap-Cabling Configuration on the Gradient Artifact by Muhammad E. H. Chowdhury (14150526)

“…These changes could potentially be translated into a reduction in the required dynamic range, an increase in the EEG bandwidth or an increase in the achievable image resolution without saturation, all of which could be beneficially exploited in EEG-fMRI studies. …”

Implications of the medication regimen complexity index score on hospital readmissions in elderly patients with heart failure: a retrospective cohort study by Asmaa Abdelbary (16400059)

“…There was no link between a high MCRI score and a high 30-day readmission rate (OR 1.02; 95% CI 0.99–1.05; p < 0.13). A high MCRI score was associated with an initial significant increase in the 90-day readmission rate (odd ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.00-1.07; p < 0.022), but not after adjusting for independent factors (odd ratio, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.95–1.03; p < 0.487). …”
