Acute intense fatigue does not modify the effect of EVA and TPU custom foot orthoses on running mechanics, running economy and perceived comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…There was a global fatigue-induced deterioration in running economy (− 1.6 ± 0.4%; P < 0.001). There was no significant condition × fatigue [except mean loading rate (P = 0.046)] for the large majority of biomechanical, cardio-respiratory [except minute ventilation (P = 0.020) and breathing frequency (P = 0.019)] and perceived comfort variables. …”

The distribution of toxic sources in Louisiana by Djoundourian, Salpie Sarkis

“…The results reveal that income levels in communities that host toxic sources are consistently and significantly lower than the state averages. A distance gradient analysis indicates that as distance from the nearest toxic source increases, the mean percentage of blacks in the community decreases and the mean percentage of whites increases. …”

Exploring beyond numeric weight loss: The metabolic effects of semaglutide by Sara Sokary (17337724)

“…Semaglutide also slowed weight regain and promoted weight loss after failed <u>bariatric surgery.</u> It also significantly reduced ad libitum <u>energy intake</u>, decreased hunger, and increased satiety in multiple trials. …”

A kinetic evaluation of nutrient and organic matter removal in greywater for green Walls: Assessing the performance of Mineral-Based, Organic, and Waste-Derived plant support media by Shaheeda Marakkar Anangadan (19239607)

“…However, when accounting for leaching, which was significant in some organic media but expected to decrease with time, most organic media (SCG, date seeds, coco coir and bone) achieved around 80 % TOC removal. …”

Modeling of permeability impairment dynamics in porous media: A machine learning approach by Ahmed, Elrahmani

Modeling of photovoltaic soiling loss as a function of environmental variables by Wasim Javed (6105866)

“…In fact, high RH levels were related to negative daily ΔCI only at higher WS levels (>2ms−1); at lower WS levels RH had no significant effect on daily ΔCI. These effects were apparently due to the deposition-resuspension mechanisms of dust accumulation on the PV panel surfaces. …”

MXene (Ti₃C₂T_x)/Cellulose Acetate Mixed-Matrix Membrane Enhances Fouling Resistance and Rejection in the Crossflow Filtration Process by Reem S. Azam (17128813)

“…The fabricated membranes, especially CCAM-10%, exhibited high hydrophilicity, good surface roughness, significantly high water flux, high water uptake, and high porosity. …”

Wave-packet dynamics in monolayer graphene with periodic scattering potentials by M.M. Suleimanov (22921019)

“…<p dir="ltr">We use the Dirac <u>continuum model</u> to study the propagation of electronic wave packets in monolayer graphene in the presence of periodically arranged circular potential steps. The time propagation of the wave packets is calculated using the split-operator method for different sizes, heights, and separations of the barriers. …”

Rapid mercury removal using living indigenous microalgal communities for water treatment applications by Amr Nasr Fekry (22521185)

“…Comprehensive isotherm analysis revealed the Dubinin-Radushkevich model provided the best fit (R² = 0.998), indicating physical adsorption as the predominant mechanism, as the calculated mean free energy (E = 5.00 kJ/mol) falls within the 1–8 kJ/mol range characteristic of physical adsorption. …”

Experimental and numerical study of different metal contacts for perovskite solar cells by Mohammad Istiaque Hossain (17944964)

“…Contact angle measurement was also performed to determine the wettability of metal surfaces. Both Au and Ni films were found semi-hydrophilic which shows the adaptability of better stability through repelling water from the surface. …”

Promising approaches for controlled pulmonary drug delivery by Nature Research (16552612)

“…Inhaled drugs are also degraded by enzymes in the lungs, and absorbed rapidly owing to the lungs’ large surface area. Micro- and nanoparticles-based drug delivery systems could potentially improve the delivery of inhaled drugs significantly, because they can be designed in specific shapes and sizes, and with certain other properties that optimize their bioavailability. …”

A critical overview of thin films coating technologies for energy applications by Mohammad Istiaque Hossain (17944964)
