Assessing the impact of a sport for development and peace intervention on the mental and physical health of adolescents in Mullaitivu, Sri Lanka by Hamilton, A

“…The target group significantly underperformed when compared to global MFT, BFA and HFA norms. 214 students (47.4% female) were included in the final impact analysis; loss to follow up was 34.2%. …”

Student teachers learning to use Assessment for Learning in schools by Tan Chia Chun, D

“…Key findings from the final analyses were as follows: there was considerable variation in how the geography specialist teacher mentors interpreted and used AfL; some mentors were strongly mediating the AfL/AoL expectations evident in the school inspection system in England; there was evidence of some strong and challenging mentoring, but it was not consistent across the experiences of the students; the students' own sense of the kind of teacher they wanted to become could be tracked in ways which revealed how they coped with the different school demands and what they saw as university expectations; the transition between placement schools was significant for the student teachers in ways that had not been anticipated by the design of the programme.…”

Influence of calcination temperature on nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized by thermal treatment by Manal, Ahmed Hashem

“…The elemental composition of the samples was determined by energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) which confirmed the presence of Ni and O in the final products. The optical properties were determined by UV–Vis reflection spectrophotometer and showed a decrease in the band gap from 3.60 to 3.51 eV with increase of calcination temperature from 500 to 800 oC. …”

System-level design of low-carbon structures by Fang, Demi L.

“…While the design space of wild data includes a diverse variety of projects, leveraging a synthetic dataset computed from a bottom-up parametric model helps produce insights specific to the design problem at hand. The final contribution of this dissertation is to propose a computational framework that leverages synthetic data to empower decision-making in design. …”

Thermal-disrupting interface mitigates intercellular cohesion loss for accurate topical antibacterial therapy by Hu, Benhui, Berkey, Christopher, Feliciano, Timothy, Chen, Xiaohong, Li, Zhuyun, Chen, Chao, Amini, Shahrouz, Nai, Mui Hoon, Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran, Wang, Juan, Leow, Wan Ru, Pan, Shaowu, Li, Yong-Qiang, Cai, Pingqiang, Miserez, Ali, Li, Shuzhou, Lim, Chwee Teck, Wu, Yun-Long, Odom, Teri W., Dauskardt, Reinhold H., Chen, Xiaodong

“…Quantitative mechanobiology studies demonstrate the TRIM dressing film with a critical dimension for surface features plays a critical role in maintaining intercellular cohesion of the epidermis during photothermal therapy. Finally, endowing wound dressing with the TRIM effect via in vivo studies in S. aureus infected mice demonstrates a promising strategy for mitigating the side effects of photothermal therapy against a wide spectrum of bacterial infections, promoting future biointerface design for antibacterial therapy.…”
