3D Printable Ca(OH)₂-based geopolymer concrete with steel fiber reinforcement by Youssef Mortada (16810656)

“…Durability assessments, including autogenous shrinkage and self-induced stress, indicated a slight reduction in shrinkage of SF-reinforced samples, with no significant effect on self-induced stress. Microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT) demonstrated the crack-bridging behavior of steel fibers, enhancing ductility and fracture resistance. …”

Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 promotes steatosis in HepG2 cells by modulating target gene expression in presence of Exendin-4 by Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

“…</p> <p>Results: Treatment with 200nM Ex-4 for 3h decreased the OA-induced lipid buildup significantly (p<0.05). Concurrently, Ex-4 significantly lowered the expression levels of De novo lipogenesis genes such as SREBP-1, SCD-1and ACC. …”

Nicotine induces resilience to chronic social defeat stress in a mouse model of water pipe tobacco exposure by activating BDNF signaling by Khalifeh, Mohamad

“…Even though WTS initially decreased anxiety-like behaviors, prolonged exposure after the completion of CSDS significantly induced anxiety-like behaviors. Finally, we showed that nicotine mediates the effects of WTS only on resilience to stress by increasing BDNF and TRKB levels and signaling. …”

Oxy-methane combustion characteristics in a vertical porous plate reactor by Furqan Tahir (14429547)

“…The outlet and maximum temperatures vary from 1,587 K to 1,621 K and 1,751 K to 2,341 K upon increasing the oxidizer ratio from 0.20 to 0.35; correspondingly, it shows that the maximum temperature within the reactor is significantly affected by the oxidizer ratio. …”

Bacillus thuringiensis strain QBT220 pBtoxis plasmid structural instability enhances δ-endotoxins synthesis and bioinsecticidal activity by Kavita Nair (17151127)

“…In addition, the QBT220 increased δ-endotoxins synthesis per cell, makes this strain a good candidate for possible applications in the industrial production of bioinsecticides.…”

Influence of graphene wrapped-cerium oxide coating on spherical LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 particles as cathode in high-voltage lithium-ion batteries by Zawar Alam Qureshi (17545743)

“…DSC analysis elucidate that the ceria coating helps to suppress the adverse reactions at the electrode/electrolyte interface and reduce the Mn3+ dissolution due to the Jahn Teller effect, increasing cell cyclability. The graphene wrapping reduces material aggregation and provides conductive pathways that significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the LNMO cathode. …”
