Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid to control biofouling and mineral scaling by Mohammad Y. Ashfaq (14152290)

“…<p dir="ltr">The polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was modified with graphene oxide (GO), followed by polymerization of acrylic acid (used as an antiscalant) for the reduction of both biofouling and mineral scaling. After functionalization, the water contact angle reduced from 41.7 ± 4.5° for unmodified RO membrane to 24.4 ± 1.3° for the modified RO membranes, which showed that membrane hydrophilicity was significantly enhanced, in addition to the improvement in surface smoothness. …”

Salicylic acid restricts mercury translocation by activating strong antioxidant defense mechanisms in sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) by Muhammad Fasih Khalid (10652246)

“…The maximum decrease in photosynthetic machinery, plant growth attributes (shoot length, root length, no. of leaves, fresh and dry biomass (shoot and root)), and more accumulation of Hg in leaves, roots, and fruits of sweet pepper. Additionally, SA significantly reduced the reduction in photosynthetic attributes and plant growth, and increased antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT) under Hg toxicity. …”

In vivo testing of novel nitric oxide-releasing nanoparticles for alleviating heart failure using the zebrafish embryo model by Maram Hasan (6672440)

“…Our findings demonstrated that the NO-RPs improved the survival rate in the heart failure zebrafish model and reversed heart failure by enhancing blood flow perfusion in Zebrafish embryos, significantly. In addition, RT-PCR results showed that the NO-RPs significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory markers (lL-6&COX-2) in the heart failure zebrafish model. …”

Evaluating the economic and environmental viability of small modular reactor (SMR)-powered desalination technologies against renewable energy systems by Youngwook Yoo (20635007)

Numerical Evaluation of Shear Strength Enhancement in RC Beams Incorporating Various Web Opening Configurations and Pre-Stressed Fe-SMA Bar Sizes by Elkafrawy, Mohamed

“…Compared to the control beam (without opening), beams with diamond-shaped openings strengthened with 32 mm Fe-SMA bars showed the closest performance with only a 2% reduction in load capacity. In contrast, circular and square-shaped openings resulted in load reductions of 9.4% and 25.6%, respectively. …”
