ZnO@C (core@shell) microspheres derived from spent coffee grounds as applicable non-precious electrode material for DMFCs
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Although numerous reports have introduced non precious electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation, most of those studies did not consider the corresponding high onset potential which restricts utilization in real fuel cells. ...
GIVING TWO ANSWERS TO THE SAME QUESTION: APPLYING SURVEY RE-INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUES IN QATAR.
(
RESEARCH, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PUBLISHERS
, 2016 , Article)
In order to evaluate the quality of its survey data, SESRI implemented since 2010 a system of re-interviewing a sub-sample of respondents.
These re-interviews usually take place not more than six days from the date of the ...
Electrodeposition of nanostructured Nickel-Ceramic composite coatings: A review
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2014 , Article)
This review presents a recent literature on electrochemically prepared nickel-ceramic nanocomposites coatings. These nanostructured coatings exhibit remarkable enhanced corrosion resistance and microhardness which are of ...
Assessing the effects of data selection and representation on the development of reliable E. coli sigma 70 promoter region predictors
(
Public Library of Science
, 2015 , Article)
As the number of sequenced bacterial genomes increases, the need for rapid and reliable tools for the annotation of functional elements (e.g., transcriptional regulatory elements) becomes more desirable. Promoters are the ...
Anti-cancer properties and mechanisms of action of thymoquinone, the major active ingredient of Nigella sativa
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2017 , Article)
Over the past two decades, studies have documented the wide-range anti-cancer effects of Nigella sativa, known as black seed or black cumin. Thymoquinone (TQ), its major active ingredient, has also been extensively studied ...
Patulin and patulin producing Penicillium spp. occurrence in apples and apple-based products including baby food
(
The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
, 2017 , Article)
Introduction: Patulin has raised the international attention because of its health risk. In fact, it has mutagenic, neurotoxic, immunotoxic, genotoxic and gastrointestinal effects in animals. In the present work, patulin ...
Glycoprofiling of cancer biomarkers: Label-free electrochemical lectin-based biosensors
(
De Gruyter
, 2015 , Article)
Glycosylation of biomolecules is one of the most prevalent post- and co-translational modification in a human body, with more than half of all human proteins being glycosylated. Malignant transformation of cells influences ...
Graphene as a signal amplifier for preparation of ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensors
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Early diagnostics of diseases performed with minimal money and time consumption has become achievable due to recent advances in development of biosensors. These devices use biorecognition elements for selective interaction ...
The prevalence of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) use in non-clinical populations: a systematic review protocol
(
BioMed Central
, 2016 , Article)
Background
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are new narcotic or psychotropic drugs that are not controlled by the United Nations drug convention that may pose a serious public health threat due to their wide availability ...
Dielectric sensitization of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanopowder.
(
Academy of Sciences and Arts of the Republic of Srpska
, 2017 , Article)
Metallo-organic complexes are a class of materials that are increasingly used in sensory applications. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are their subclass that are topologically isomorphic with zeolites. The porosity ...
