Waste Classification for Sustainable Development Using Image Recognition with Deep Learning Neural Network Models by Meena Malik (17542089)

“…The architecture used for classification was EfficientNet-B0. These are compound-scaling based models proposed by Google that are pretrained on ImageNet and have an accuracy of 74% to 84% in top-1 over ImageNet. …”

Binary-NeRV: Hybrid-Precision Weights Binarization for Efficient Neural Video Representation by Shanableh, Tamer

“…In this work, we propose Binary-NeRV, a hybrid-precision extension of NeRV that integrates XNOR-based binary convolutions into the decoding pipeline to significantly reduce model size, bitrate, and computational complexity while reasonably preserving reconstruction fidelity. …”

Analysis of the Capacitor-Less D-STATCOM for Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network With High PV Penetration by Wesam Rohouma (16904871)

“…Traditional approaches like switched capacitors cannot provide reactive power that is continuously adjustable at short time scales. This paper examines an alternative distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) based on a matrix converter (MC) for the low voltage distribution networks with high PV penetration. …”

Ultraliser: a framework for creating multiscale, high-fidelity and geometrically realistic 3D models for <i>in silico</i> neuroscience by Marwan Abdellah (4435360)

“…<h3>Abstract</h3><p dir="ltr">Ultraliser is a neuroscience-specific software framework capable of creating accurate and biologically realistic 3D models of complex neuroscientific structures at intracellular (e.g. mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula), cellular (e.g. neurons and glia) and even multicellular scales of resolution (e.g. cerebral vasculature and minicolumns). …”

Investigating the Role of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member 2 (ACSS2) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Expression in Clinical Samples and Insights from In Vitro Models by Mezher, Nawal

“…Using Caco-2 and HT-29 intestinal epithelial cell lines stimulated with Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) or Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) as in vitro models of inflammation, we observed upregulation of ACSS2 protein expression. ACSS2 inhibition significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 8 (IL-8), IL-1β, and TNF-α, and attenuated activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, as evidenced by decreased phosphorylation of p65 and ERK/MEK. …”

Finding novel targets for the treatment and reversal of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity by Imran Ramzan (15430807)

“…Individually, both valine (245 ± 33 to 105 ± 23 µmol/L; p < 0.0001), and leucine (130 ± 20 to 75 ± 13 µmol/L; p < 0.05), decreased significantly in response to the BCAA-restricted diet. …”

STIM1 signals through NFAT1 independently of Orai1 and SOCE to regulate breast cancer cell migration by Ayat S. Hammad (9592374)

“…SOCE has been shown to be important for breast cancer cell migration where knockdown of SOCE components (STIM1 or Orai1) decreases cancer metastasis. Here we show unexpectedly that complete knockout of STIM1 (STIM1-KO) using gene editing in metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells results in faster migration and enhanced invasion capacity. …”

Wound healing potential of quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside and myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside isolated from Pistacia lentiscus distilled leaves in rats model by Wiem Elloumi (17148337)

“…Moreover, the cutaneous wound tissues treated with PDL 20, MM, and QM exhibited significantly higher hydroxyproline content than the negative control group, which means a high collagen biosynthesis in wound tissues. …”
