Surface Behavior of Polyamide 6 Modified by Barrier Plasma in Oxygen and Nitrogen
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
Polyamide (PA) 6 was modified by diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) plasma in an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen. The surface roughness decrease of PA 6 was detected by AFM and nano-indentation after ...
Cryogenic temperature and strain rate dependence of mechanical properties for extruded AA6060 alloys
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Tensile properties and fracture behavior of an AA6060 alloy were investigated at room temperature (295K) and cryogenic temperature (77K). It was found that both ultimate tensile strength and elongation increased with ...
Simulation study of Schottky contact based single Si wire solar cell
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We model single silicon nanowire (SiNW) solar cells with dissimilar work function metal contacts. Both short circuit current (ISC) and open circuit voltage (VOC) have been investigated. Effects of nanowire dimension, ...
Thermal properties measurement and heat storage analysis of paraffin/graphite composite phase change material
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
This study aims at the preparation of a paraffin/graphite waste composite for thermal energy storage application at low temperature. In this composite material, the paraffin is characterized by high phase change latent ...
Thermal and mechanical characterization of injection moulded high density polyethylene/paraffin wax blends as phase change materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Thermal and mechanical properties of blends based on high density polyethylene and paraffin wax were investigated. The blends were prepared from 5 to 50vol. % of paraffin wax employing a twin-screw extruder. Thermal behaviour ...
Dispersion of soft Bi particles and grain refinement of matrix in an Al-Bi alloy by equal channel angular pressing
(
Elsevier BV
, 2014 , Article)
The deformation behavior of a soft particle containing Al-8Bi hypermonotectic alloy during equal-channel angular pressing was studied. The size, shape and distribution of soft Bi particles are substantially modified via ...
Phase change materials based on high-density polyethylene filled with microencapsulated paraffin wax
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
A modified in situ polymerization microencapsulation procedure for the preparation of microcapsules with paraffin wax cores (43 wt.%) and melamine–formaldehyde resin shells having a uniform size distribution and a spherical ...
"Protecting" or "policing": Academic researchers' view of IRBs in an arab context
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
A recent surge of research universities and human subjects research funding in the Arab world raises concerns about applied research ethics and oversight. In-depth interviews conducted with 52 researchers in Lebanon and ...
Contradictory Forces in the Gulf Environment: Old and New Cultural Values and Knowledg
(
Berghahn Books
, 2014 , Book chapter)
While the behaviour of individuals impacts on the environment, institutional
attitudes may be more damaging. Government policies and
private sector initiatives result in large-scale construction and industrial
projects, ...
Host specificity of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis and patients from different clinical backgrounds.
(
European Respiratory Society: ERJ
, 2014 , Article)
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the primary pathogens being isolated more frequently in cystic fibrosis (CF) and exhibits innate resistant to a wide range of antibiotics.
Purpose: To determine whether the ...
