Novel on-chip applications using silicon photonics by Gamal, Rania

“…We show that the proposed design is more superior in several areas. Firstly, simulations show that ridge-shaped sensors respond slightly more strongly to refractive-index changes than rib-shaped sensors. …”

Mining Selected Metagenomes/metatranscriptomes for Biosynthetic Gene Clusters and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes by Yamany, Ahmed

“…On the other hand and due to the selection pressure on the microbial ecosystems by the wide use of antibiotics, gut microbiome of COVID-19 patients’ and water sewage samples had more than 70% of the detected AMR gene families where gut microbiome of COVID-19 patients’ sample alone reported to had more than 50% of AMR genes detected by CARD. …”

Computational model of intraluminal thrombus growth in abdominal aortic aneurysms with fibrin generation by Taylor, Mark Robin

“…Another key feature is the thrombosis growth model, which incorporates conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, variation between clot core and shell, and mechanical lysis. The model generates ILTs with morphologies visually similar to those typically found in the body, however more work is required to refine and validate the mode.…”

The terminal pleistocene of Klipfonteinrand rock shelter in the Cederberg by Bluff, Kyla Catherine Pelton

“…The study aims, firstly, to unpack changes in the composition of the archaeological assemblage of Klipfonteinrand during Marine Isotope Stage 2 (MIS 2), by analysing variation in the abundance and composition of lithics, ostrich eggshell, marine shell, charcoal, ochre, bone and roof spall from the site; and, secondly, to situate these changes in the context of changes in palaeoenvironments and patterns in the use of nearby and more distant archaeological sites. …”

Infarct size and free fatty acids in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction by Tansey, M J B

“…The method of quantifying infarct size developed by Shell et al (1972) has provided a means of correlating the degree of metabolic disturbance with extent of myocardial damage, and of assessing the benefits of metabolic interventions. …”
