Driving simulation sickness and the sense of presence: Correlation and contributing factors by Mustafa Almallah (17280568)

“…Importantly, designing buildings that replicate a real-world environment could increase SP and decrease SS. Moreover, designing high quality and resolution scenarios could also increase SP, thus decreasing the severity of SS symptoms. …”

Propagation and deposition of non-circular finite release particle-laden currents by Zgheib, Nadim

“…Even though resuspension is not taken into account in our simulations, good agreement with experiments indicates that it does not play an important role in the front dynamics, in terms of velocity and extent of the current. …”

Increasing methylation of sperm rDNA and other repetitive elements in the aging male mammalian germline by Ramya Potabattula (4401160)

“…Here, we used bisulfite pyrosequencing and show that methylation of the rDNA transcription unit including upstream control element (UCE), core promoter, 18S rDNA, and 28S rDNA in human sperm also significantly increases with donor's age. This positive correlation between sperm rDNA methylation and biological age is evolutionarily conserved among mammals with widely different life spans such as humans, marmoset, bovine, and mouse. …”
