Anti-angiogenic effect of nano-formulated water soluble kaempferol and combretastatin in an in vivo chick chorioallantoic membrane model and HUVEC cells by Gowtham Kumar Subbaraj (17807615)

“…In addition, the mRNA expression levels of VEGF-A and FGF2 were significantly decreased compared with native forms. Therefore, the findings of this study indicate that nano-formulated water-soluble combretastatin and kaempferol suppress angiogenesis by preventing the activation of endothelial cells and suppressing factors of angiogenesis. …”

Effect of Pistachio Shell Biochar and Organic Cow Manure Application on Plant Growth, Water Retention Capacity and Nutrient Stress Mitigation by Snigdhendubala Pradhan (9872262)

“…The lower fraction of biochar application showed almost similar water retention capacity with control (p > 0.11) due to the better plant growth. Based on the findings of this study, it is proposed that lower fraction of biochar application with manure is a constructive solution to improve soil quality, reduce nutrient loss and eggplant growth. …”

Walking around the preferred speed: examination of metabolic, perceptual, spatiotemporal and stability parameters by Lina Majed (7485380)

“…While metabolic, perceptual and spatiotemporal values were sensitive to the smallest change in speed (i.e., 0.5 km·h⁻¹⁾, a significant increase in the rate of carbohydrate oxidation and decrease in % fat oxidation were only observed at speeds above PWS. …”

Autocleandeepfood: auto-cleaning and data balancing transfer learning for regional gastronomy food computing by Nauman Ullah Gilal (17302714)

“…To address this issue, we present <i>AutoCleanDeepFood</i>, a novel end-to-end food computing framework for regional gastronomy that contains the following components: (i) a fully automated pre-processing pipeline for custom data sets creation related to specific regional gastronomy, (ii) a transfer learning-based training paradigm to filter out noisy labels through loss ranking, incorporating a Russian Roulette probabilistic approach to mitigate data imbalance problems, and (iii) a method for deploying the resulting model on smartphones for real-time inferences. …”
