Flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete beams with CFRP laminates and spike anchors by Assad, Maha

“…A considerable improvement in strain utilization is exhibited by the specimen anchored with two anchors at each end. Moreover, increasing the anchor's dowel diameter significantly improved the load-carrying capacity but lowered the ultimate strain reached in the laminate. …”

Why do some countries produce more capital intensive output than others? by Toukan, Amjad

“…Based on my model I offer an explanation for the variation in physical capital intensity across countries where the model predictions show that a lower quality of governance in a country results in a decrease in the output of capital-intensive goods and an increase in the output of labor-intensive goods. …”

Improved properties and salt rejection of polysulfone membrane by incorporation of hydrophilic cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles by Muneer M. Ba-Abbad (14151660)

“…Overall, the results of this study showed that embedding a small amount of Co²⁺ ions doped ZnO NPs with PSf has significant potential to be applied in industrial-scale membrane applications.…”

Natural products as chemo-radiation therapy sensitizers in cancers by Sabah Nisar (12561961)

“…While many recent studies have identified the underlying molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets for CRT failure, using small molecule inhibitors to chemo/radio sensitize tumors is associated with high toxicity and increased morbidity. …”

Turkronicles: diachronic resources for the fast evolving Turkish language by Togay Yazar (22828175)

“…Regarding writing conventions, we found a noticeable decrease in the use of circumflex. In addition, words ending with the letters ‘-b’ and ‘-d’ have been largely replaced by their counterparts ending with ‘-p’ and ‘-t’, respectively, although the former are still in use. …”

Transglutaminase inhibition protects against oxidative stress-induced neuronal death downstream of pathological ERK activation by Sleiman, Sama F.

“…By contrast, structurally diverse inhibitors used at concentrations that inhibit TG1 and TG2 simultaneously are neuroprotective. These small molecules inhibit increases in neuronal transamidating activity induced by oxidative stress; they also protect neurons downstream of pathological ERK activation when added well after the onset of the death stimulus. …”

Past, present and future global mangrove primary productivity by Mark Chatting (5728340)

“…The models showed a slight global decrease in NPP of approximately 1.4 %, from 239.2 ± 87.6 Tg yr⁻¹ (1980–1990) to 235.9 ± 81.9 Tg yr−1 (2085–2094). However, significant regional changes were identified, including substantial increases in NPP in the Southwest Australian Shelf (60.58 ± 97.9 %), the Warm Temperate Northeast Pacific (43.75 ± 65.7 %), and the Warm Temperate Northwest Pacific (31.55 ± 55.7 %), as well as decreases in <u>Southeast Asian </u>provinces like the Java Transitional (11.45 ± 6.2 %) and Western Coral Triangle (7.61 ± 9.6 %). …”

The Impact of Professional Learning Development Workshops Focused on Technology Integration on Teachers’ Usage and Perception of Technology: A Study on Enhancing Practices and Outc... by ELSAYED, ABDALLA

Treatment with a Combination of Metformin and 2-Deoxyglucose Upregulates Thrombospondin-1 in Microvascular Endothelial Cells: Implications in Anti-Angiogenic Cancer Therapy by Samson Mathews Samuel (18808246)

“…Treatment with a combination of 2DG (5 mM) and metformin (2 mM) also significantly decreased cell proliferation, migration and tubulogenic capacity when compared to cells that were treated with either 2DG or metformin alone. …”

Infectious complications with nondaily versus daily infusion of intravenous fat emulsions in non–critically ill adults by Btaiche, Imad F.

“…Conclusions: Nondaily vs daily IVFE infusion did not have a significant effect on the risk of infection or time to development of infection; however, results are limited due to the small sample size. …”
