The downsides of information systems security policy compliance efforts by Balozian, Puzant

“…Nevertheless, this dissertation challenges that notion and advances a stream of research that suggests increasing security measures may lead to decrease in user productivity, increased user mistrust toward the IT department, increased user frustration, increased user technology avoidance, increased non-malicious volitional security violations and overall may lead to increased security risk, instead of decreasing it. …”

Profiling the autoantibody repertoire reveals autoantibodies associated with mild cognitive impairment and dementia by Hanan Ehtewish (17149825)

“…Five autoantibodies were commonly dysregulated in both dementia and MCI, including anti-CAMK2A, CKS1B, ETS2, MAP4, and NUDT2. Plasma levels of anti-ODF3, E6, S100P, and ARHGDIG correlated negatively with the cognitive performance scores (MoCA) (<i>r2</i> –0.56 to −0.42, value of <i>p</i> < 0.001). …”

Optimisation of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance Based and Periodic Based Approaches by ALHAJERI, RASHED ABDULLA

“…Higher relative humidity, drier desert climates, larger dust particles/concentration, and lower PV panel tilt angle are all examples of how soiling or its effects are increased. The losses resulting from this can lead to significant losses, especially in a place like Dubai, UAE which meet many of these factors. …”

Application of the electric resistance tomographic technique to investigate its efficacy in cuttings transport in horizontal drilling scenarios by Muhammad Saad Khan (16724634)

“…Non-Newtonian fluids performed relatively better than Newtonian (water) fluid at higher flow rates (for equivalent pump output and equivalent Reynold number conditions) as it provides higher AVF and MVF quantities due to their rheological properties hold cuttings in a suspended form. Inner pipe rotations also significantly enhanced the cuttings transport by adding induced helical motion and vorticities in the annulus. …”

Evaluation of highly active and stable SiO₂ supported Fe-based catalysts for the catalytic methane decomposition into COx free hydrogen and CNTs by Assem T. Mohamed (16023355)

“…Moreover, the catalytic activity in terms of methane conversion, methane decomposition rate, growth activities as well as carbon yields increased with an increase in the Fe loading. At an operating temperature of 650 °C and a GHSV of 8000 h⁻¹, the 75FS catalyst, with a composition of 75 wt%/SiO₂, demonstrated the highest methane decomposition rate of 0.75gCH₄/g-cat.h among the investigated catalysts. …”
