Enhancing Thermal Comfort for the Revitalization of Pedestrian-Friendly Shopping Arcades in Dubai, UAE by RAJEEV, ANN MARIA

“…Using ENVI-met software, simulations are conducted in three stages: urban materials, building facade materials, and vegetation and landscaping, encompassing thirteen different combinations to examine four key aspects: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and PMV value, which significantly affect outdoor thermal comfort. The most favorable cases are selected from each phase, and the final reduction in temperature and PMV values of the optimized case indicates a substantial decrease of 3.76 degrees Celsius in air temperature post-implementation of passive design strategies. …”

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI: Evaluating the Effect of the EEG Cap-Cabling Configuration on the Gradient Artifact by Muhammad E. H. Chowdhury (14150526)

“…Here by modifying the connections of the EEG cap to a 1 m ribbon cable we were able to reduce the range of the GA for a high-resolution coronal echo planar Imaging (EPI) acquisition by a factor of ∼ 1.6 and by a factor of ∼ 1.15 for a standard axial EPI acquisition. These changes could potentially be translated into a reduction in the required dynamic range, an increase in the EEG bandwidth or an increase in the achievable image resolution without saturation, all of which could be beneficially exploited in EEG-fMRI studies. …”
