Local Over-Expression of VEGF-DDNDC in the Uterine Arteries of Pregnant Sheep Results in Long-Term Changes in Uterine Artery Contractility and Angiogenesis by Abi Nader, Khalil

“…Reduced uterine artery blood flow (UABF) is a common cause of fetal growth restriction; abnormalities in angiogenic factors are implicated. Previously we showed that adenovirus (Ad)-mediated VEGF-A165 expression in the pregnant sheep uterine artery (UtA) increased nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression, altered vascular reactivity and increased UABF. …”

Predictive modelling in times of public health emergencies: patients’ non-transport decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic by Hassan Farhat (9000509)

“…However, some patients declined transportation to hospital due to their fear of accessing healthcare facilities. This posed a significant risk to their health outcomes. This study aimed to utilise an extensive dataset, which included the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, in a modern Middle Eastern Emergency Medical Service to comprehend and predict the behaviour of non-transport decisions, a major multi-variable factor in pre-hospital emergency medicine. …”

Refractive Index of Engine‐Emitted Black Carbon and the Influence of Organic Coatings on Optical Properties by Dawei Hu (2186113)

“…When the coating ratio is over 2.5, the difference between the external mixing predictions and measurements increases with the coating ratio. Our results show that the absorption of coated BC particles may not be predicted accurately based solely on the equivalent diameter, coating ratio, and pure component RIs, and considerations of additional factors such as morphology may be necessary.…”
