Authors: Rady, Asmaa A. M.; Advisor: -; Participants: Hamdy, Soha M.; Abdel-Hamid, Mohamed A.; Hegazy, Marwa G. A.; Fathy, Shadia A.; Mostafa, Amany A. (2020) - Results have showed a non-significant decrease in serum VEGF activity in the (CH.BG) (M) group when compared to other groups during 2, 3 weeks, followed by gradual decrease, then increase at 12 weeks of interval period. There was highly significant increase from pre-surgery to 12 weeks in serum BMP-2 levels in the (CH.BG) (M) group when compared to other groups.

Authors: Adesola, Ridwan Olamilekan; Advisor: -; Participants: D’Souza, Joanna Nicole; Bello, Aisha Bisola; Mukwekwe, Varaidzo Joyline (2023) - In the current global scenario, the monkeypox virus has infected over 3000 individuals from endemic countries like Nigeria, along with non-endemic countries like the UK, Canada, the USA, etc. Based on the current information, it has been observed that monkeypox cases have primarily, though not exclusively, been found among men who have sex with men (MSM) in countries such as the UK. This article discusses the recent outbreak of monkeypox, its causes, and the various approaches to combat monkeypox infections.

Authors: Dalm, M.; Advisor: -; Participants: Buxton, M. W. N.; Van Ruitenbeek, F. J. A. (2019) - The results showed that NIR-SWIR hyperspectral imagery could be used to segment a population of waste samples by detecting occurrences of pyrophyllite, dickite and/or illite. This result can be explained by the fact that these minerals are commonly deposited further away from the ore-bearing epithermal veins, while the
absence of SWIR-active minerals or detected occurrences of alunite are more closely associated with these structures. The ability to identify waste with NIR-SWIR spectral sensors means there is potential that sensor-based sorting can be used to remove this waste from mineral processing operations. Additional research is still required to assess the economic feasibility of such a sensor-based sorting application.

Authors: Ostermann, F. O.; Advisor: -; Participants: Garcia-Chapeton, G.; Kraak, M. J.; Zurita-Milla, R. (2018) - This paper presents a conceptual model and a proof-of-concept implementation of a novel approach to engage citizens in supervising the analysis of user-generated geographic content (UGGC).The complexity of some tasks and the increasing volume of UGGC often restrict the role of citizens to data providers. We propose a hybrid processing approach, which maps geographical problems into data mining and machine-learning tasks, presents analysis results to human supervisors, and uses the responses to improve the machine-learning and data mining. For the pilot study, we adapt an approach to find semantically distinct places in UGGC.

Authors: Zhang, Z.; Advisor: -; Participants: Gerke, M.; Vosselman, G.; Yang, M. Y. (2018) - Results show that the standard Lidar filter is robust to random noise. However, artefacts and blunders in the DIM points often appear due to low contrast or poor texture in the images. Filtering will be erroneous in these locations. Filtering the DIM points pre-processed by a ranking filter will bring higher Type II error (i.e. non-ground
points actually labelled as ground points) but much lower Type I error (i.e. bare ground points labelled as non-ground points). Finally, the potential DTM accuracy that can be achieved by DIM points is evaluated. Two DIM point clouds derived by Pix4Dmapper and SURE are compared. On grassland dense matching generates points higher than the true terrain surface, which will result in incorrectly elevated DTMs. The application of the ranking filter le...

Authors: Munif, Mohammad Raguib; Advisor: -; Participants: Safawat, Mst. Sanjida; Hannan, Abdul (2023) - Polymelia is an occasional and congenital malformation in bovine calves, characterized by the presence of single or multiple accessory limb(s) at various body regions, which are often called the supernumerary limb(s). One of these defects is known as pygomelia, where the additional limb is attached to the pelvis within the perineal region. This study describes such a case along with surgical management.

Authors: Eliades, M.; Advisor: -; Participants: Bruggeman, A.; Djuma, H.; Lubczynski, M. W. (2018) - This study aims to examine interactions between tree characteristics, sap flow, and environmental variables in an open Pinus brutia (Ten.) forest with shallow soil. We examined radial and azimuthal variations of sap flux density (Jp), and also investigated the occurrence of hydraulic redistribution mechanisms, quantified nocturnal tree transpiration, and analyzed the total water use of P. brutia trees during a three-year period. Sap flow and soil moisture sensors were installed onto and around eight trees, situated in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus. Radial observations showed a linear decrease of sap flux densities with increasing sapwood depth. Azimuthal differences were found to be statistically insignificant. Reverse sap flow was observed during low vapor pressure...

Authors: Budiati, W.; Advisor: -; Participants: Grigolon, A. B.; Brussel, M. J. G.; Rachmat, S. Y. (2018) - In this research, we measured the current conditions of proposed TOD areas in thirteen MRT stations in Jakarta to determine the potential TOD development. These thirteen stations were divided into three types based on environmental characteristics of the station location such as CBD, urban, and neighbourhood characteristics. The 5D of built environment variables were used as indicators to
examine the potential of TOD areas. Then, stakeholders were involved to fit and weigh the indicators. TOD indexes for each station were examined to identify potential improvement strategies. Each station is classified as having a high, medium or low TOD index. By understanding the specific strategies for different TOD indexes, this paper is intended to support those development areas to improve lo...

Authors: Jimoh, Olatunji Abubakar; Advisor: -; Participants: Akinola, Micheal Olawale (2020) - The result revealed snails fed with UPWP had the least final weight and weight gain which was accompanied by the highest feed intake across the treatments. Average egg laid, hatchability, fertility, embryo mortality, and average juvenile produced by snails on roughage-based diet were significantly the least across the treatments. High gonadosomatic index of snails on leaf meal-based diet accompanied with better reproductive output in laying snails was recorded.

Authors: Ronzhin, S.; Advisor: -; Participants: Folmer, E. J. A.; Lemmens, R. L. G. (2018) - Modern software tools for managing Linked Data are often designed for skilled users. Therefore, they cannot be used for education
purposes because they require substantial a priori knowledge about the Resource Description Framework and the SPARQL query
language. LinkDaLe is a single page application designed to teach students the concept of Linked Data and work with linked data at
the same time. In the paper we showcase the interface and functionality of LinkDaLe by triplifying data on Geo4All member
organizations. The application was built and evaluated within The Business Process Integration Lab, a master programme course in
2016 and 2017 years. Positive feedback from both students and teachers proved the relevance of the proposed design consideration.
LinkDaLe showed usabil...
