RHO A versus RHO C. (c2014) حسب Dimassi, Saleh B. Al

"…In this study we aim to look at the role both Rho A and Rho C play in protrusion formation where we found that upon RhoA knockdown protrusions are no longer formed, using 2D time lapse microscopy that shows the depletion of RhoA and RhoC leads to the decrease in 2D motility, RhoA knockdown decreases adhesion of cells in contrast RhoC knockdown increases adhesion of astrocytoma, and FRET based biosensors. …"

Application of Fe₃O₄ magnetite nanoparticles grafted in silica (SiO₂) for oil recovery from oil in water emulsions حسب Wamda Faisal Elmobarak (17058024)

"…Demulsification process best fits the combined Langmuir-Freundlich (L-F) isotherm with highest adsorption capacity (Q_max) of 186.0 ± 5 mg_oil/g_MD compared to 86.0 ± 5 mg_oil/g_MD for Fe₃O₄, which is 1.1 folds greater than Q_max reported in the literature for other demulsifiers.…"

The full-system approach for elastohydrodynamic lubrication حسب Fillot, Nicolas

"…A ball is in contact with a plane, and a lubricant separates the two surfaces to decrease friction during their relative motion. To avoid wear, the lubricant film thickness should be higher than the surface roughness. …"

Solubilization of Protein Aggregates by the Acid Stress Chaperones HdeA and HdeB حسب Malki, Abderrahim

"…The acid stress chaperones HdeA and HdeB of Escherichia coli prevent the aggregation of periplasmic proteins at acidic pH. We show in this report that they also form mixed aggregates with proteins that have failed to be solubilized at acidic pH and allow their subsequent solubilization at neutral pH. …"

An improved non-dimensional model of wet-cooling towers حسب QURESHI, BILAL AHMED

"…Two solutions are proposed and the accuracy of each method is checked against data from the literature and also compared with the original solution. The first method shows a maximum decrease of 4.4 per cent in error, whereas in the second method, the maximum error was found to be 3.3 and 6.8 per cent when the inlet air was unsaturated and saturated, respectively. …"
