12/15-Lipoxygenase-Derived Lipid Metabolites Induce Retinal Endothelial Cell Barrier Dysfunction: Contribution of NADPH Oxidase by Amira Othman (380131)

“…Treatment of REC with HETE also increased ROS generation and expression of NOX2 and pVEGF-R2 and decreased pSHP1 expression. Treatment of diabetic mice with baicalein significantly decreased retinal HETE, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, IL-6, ROS generation, and NOX2 expression. …”

Corporate Governance and the diversification discount by Boumosleh, Anwar

“…However, we find that the sensitivity of the diversification discount to CEO power decreases significantly after the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which implies that the restrictions and regulations passed by the act enhance corporate governance and limit the misallocation of resources and the diversification discount respectively.…”

Finding novel targets for the treatment and reversal of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity by Imran Ramzan (15430807)

“…Individually, both valine (245 ± 33 to 105 ± 23 µmol/L; p < 0.0001), and leucine (130 ± 20 to 75 ± 13 µmol/L; p < 0.05), decreased significantly in response to the BCAA-restricted diet. …”

Predicting stability of classes in an object-oriented system by Azar, D.

“…However, in almost all cases, these models were not efficient when used to predict the quality characteristics (stability or other) of new unseen software as their prediction accuracy decreases significantly. In this paper, we present a heuristic approach that relies on the adaptation and recombination of already built predictive models to new unseen software.The predictive models are all rule-based models and the approach is tested on the stability of classes in an object-oriented software system. …”

Dynamic Performance Investigation of Solar‐Driven Vapor Absorption Cooling System for Urban Areas by Laveet Kumar (11460088)

“…For both flat plate and ETCs, increasing the collector area increased the SF and primary energy savings while increasing the capacity of thermal storage decreased the SF and primary energy savings. For varying thermal storage volumes, the SF varies very little when using flat plate collector but significantly when using ETC. …”

Exendin-4 alleviates steatosis in an in vitro cell model by lowering FABP1 and FOXA1 expression via the Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway by Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

“…Additionally, after β-catenin silencing, OA treatment significantly increased the expression of nuclear transcription factors SREBP-1 and TCF4, whereas Ex-4 significantly decreased this upregulation. …”

Investigation of the Effect of Exendin-4 on Oleic Acid-Induced Steatosis in HepG2 Cells Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy by Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

“…Analysis of the Oil Red O staining showed that Ex-4 significantly reduces steatosis. This reduction was confirmed by FTIR analysis, as the phospholipid band (C=O) at 1740 cm−1 in Ex-4 treated cells is significantly decreased compared to steatotic cells. …”

Natural resource dependence and war nexus: new insights by Al Shami, Farah

“…Using a panel probit model, we find that natural resources rents, military expenditures, and the presence of a common law tradition significantly increase the probability of war occurrence. …”

Nonlinear effects in locally resonant nanostrip phononic metasurface at GHz frequencies by Feng Gao (3548)

“…The power-dependent coupling of nanostrips in the NPM resonator demonstrates a reliable method for the realization of nonlinearity in phononic metasurfaces, which would significantly enrich the mechanisms for the manipulation of surface acoustic waves at high frequencies.…”

The distribution of toxic sources in Louisiana by Djoundourian, Salpie Sarkis

“…The results reveal that income levels in communities that host toxic sources are consistently and significantly lower than the state averages. A distance gradient analysis indicates that as distance from the nearest toxic source increases, the mean percentage of blacks in the community decreases and the mean percentage of whites increases. …”

Associations between Bone Mineral Density and WOMAC Scores in Healthy Individuals: Insights from the Qatar Biobank by Al-Hamdani, Mohammed

“…However, BMD measures significantly contributed to predicting stiffness after controlling for sociodemographic variables (R2 = 0.065, ΔF(7, 1724) = 3.34, p = 0.002), with a higher total body BMD associated with increased stiffness and a higher trunk BMD associated with decreased stiffness. …”

Combined effects of treated domestic wastewater, fly ash, and calcium nitrite toward concrete sustainability by Abdelrahman Abushanab (17268940)

“…It was also shown that the addition of FA significantly decreased the chloride permeability of TWW concrete by 55%–71%. …”

Investigating the Quality Combined Effect of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in Quality Management in Manufacturing Firms by ALBLOOSHI, ROUDHA KHALID ABDULLA

“…By employing tools such as flowcharts, fishbone diagrams, and statistical analysis, the research pinpointed the inadequate 4KV surge protection as a primary defect contributor. Implementing a 6KV surge protector for higher-wattage lights significantly reduced defect rates by 0.5%. …”

Phosphorus supplement alters postprandial lipemia of healthy male subjects by Bassil, Maya

“…Changes in different parameters were analyzed using a 2-factor repeated-measure ANOVA. In the phosphorus (P) supplemented group, postprandial serum P increased (p = 0.00), while changes in insulin, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and triglyceride (TG) were not significantly different than that of placebo. …”
