Sustainable urban development strategies to enhance outdoor thermal comfort and promote walkability in the United Arab Emirates by ALTENEIJI, AHMED SALIM AHMED SAIF

“…The thesis argues that there is lack of a wider framework that evaluates numerous design iterations in terms of comfort and walkability at the same time is mostly due to a lack of adequate connectivity between the two concepts. As such, the fundamental goal of this research is to create a link between outdoor thermal comfort and walkability by examining how various sustainable design options for increasing outdoor thermal comfort may be codified to also increase walkability. …”

Microbial Dysbiosis Tunes the Immune Response Towards Allergic Disease Outcomes by Tracy Augustine (14149932)

“…In parallel, mechanistic studies have delivered insight into the pathogenesis of disease, by demonstrating the comparative effects of protective T regulatory (Treg) cells, with inflammatory T helper 2 (Th2) cells in the development of immune tolerance or induction of an allergic response. More recently, a significant advancement in our understanding into how interactions between the adaptive immune system and microbially derived factors play a central role in the development of allergic disease has emerged. …”
