How FIFA World Cup 2022™ can meet the carbon neutral commitments and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development?: Reflections from the tree nursery project in Qatar... by Ioannis Spanos (2086933)

“…However, the use of desalinated water holds a negative impact on the carbon balance to such a level that the introduction of trees in Middle Eastern may not positively affect climate change mitigation. It was also found that the amount of carbon footprint reduction after the FIFA World Cup 2022 is expected to increase steadily during the average life expectancy of the trees assessed, which were evaluated to be circa 135 years. …”

Airway surface liquid volume expansion induces rapid changes in amiloride-sensitive Na⁺transport across upper airway epithelium-Implications concerning the resolution of... by Fouad Azizi (11835843)

“…On switching from basal to expanded ASLV conditions, short-circuit current (<i>I</i>_<em>sc</em>, a measure of total transepithelial active ion transport) declined by 90% with a half-time (t1/2) of 1 h. 24 h after the switch, there was no significant change in ATP concentration nor in the number of functional sodium pumps as revealed by [3H]-ouabain binding. …”

Design and Evaluation of a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) to Reduce Sedentary Behavior at Work: Experimental Study by Tasnim Ismail (18418554)

Numerical analysis of MHD combined convection for enhanced CPU cooling in NEPCM-filled a trapezoidal cavity by Ahmed M. Hassan (8893106)

“…Key parameters examined include Reynolds number (<i>Re</i>: 10–100), Richardson number (<i>Ri</i>: 0.1–10), Hartmann number (<i>Ha</i>: 5–80), NEPCM volume fraction (<i>ϕ</i>: 0.015–0.035), Lewis number (<i>Le</i>: 0.1–10), buoyancy ratio (<i>Nz</i>: 1–5), NEPCM fusion temperature (<i>θ</i> f : 0.1–0.9), and Stefan number (<i>Ste</i>: 0.1–0.9). Results show that increasing <i>Re</i> and <i>Ri </i>significantly enhances heat and mass transfer, with the average Nusselt number (<i>Nu</i>_<em>av</em>) increasing by up to 80.5 % and average Sherwood number (<i>Sh</i>_<em>av</em>) by up to 147.9 %. …”

Past, present and future global mangrove primary productivity by Mark Chatting (5728340)

“…The models showed a slight global decrease in NPP of approximately 1.4 %, from 239.2 ± 87.6 Tg yr⁻¹ (1980–1990) to 235.9 ± 81.9 Tg yr−1 (2085–2094). However, significant regional changes were identified, including substantial increases in NPP in the Southwest Australian Shelf (60.58 ± 97.9 %), the Warm Temperate Northeast Pacific (43.75 ± 65.7 %), and the Warm Temperate Northwest Pacific (31.55 ± 55.7 %), as well as decreases in <u>Southeast Asian </u>provinces like the Java Transitional (11.45 ± 6.2 %) and Western Coral Triangle (7.61 ± 9.6 %). …”
