Carbonization conditions influence the emission characteristics and the stability against photobleaching of nitrogen doped carbon dots
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Carbon Dots (CDs), fabricated by hydrothermal bottom-up synthesis, are complex materials, whose optical properties are influenced by multiple factors. The presence of domains of conjugated sp2 carbon, which are formed upon ...
Multilayer-MCTDH approach to the energy transfer dynamics in the LH2 antenna complex
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The multilayer multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree method is used to study the coupled exciton–vibrational dynamics in a high-dimensional nonameric model of the LH2 antenna complex of purple bacteria. The exciton–vibrational ...
Review on Surfactant Flooding: Phase Behavior, Retention, IFT, and Field Applications
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article Review)
Surfactant flooding is an important technique used in enhanced oil recovery to reduce the amount of oil in pore space of matrix rock. Surfactants are injected to mobilize residual oil by lowering the interfacial tension ...
Preparation and performance evaluation of speek/polyaniline composite membrane for direct methanol fuel cell
(
Carl Hanser Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Polymer composites comprising sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and 10 to 50 wt% of Poly(trimellitic anhydride chloride-co-4,4'-methylenedianiline) (PTCMA) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of PTCMA ...
Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
Photocatalytic Degradation of Pentachlorophenol Using ZnO Nanoparticles: Study of Intermediates and Toxicity
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The photocatalytic degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) was carried out using ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of sunlight. The effect of different ZnO NPs sizes was synthesized by sol–gel method as well as loading ...
Context-aware RAON middleware for opportunistic network
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Application development and deployment on Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) is a major challenge in the widespread use of MANET. The increasing D2D communication in 5G networks has renewed interest in an effective middleware ...
Toxoplasma infection and milk consumption: Meta-analysis of assumptions and evidences.
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2017 , Article)
Toxoplasmosis is the most widespread infection worldwide. It occurs within congenital contamination, organ transplant or immune system depression. Primary infection is mainly foodborne with the ingestion of raw or undercooked ...
White graphene reinforced polypyrrole and poly(vinyl alcohol) blend nanocomposites as chemiresistive sensors for room temperature detection of liquid petroleum gases
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2017 , Article)
The authors describe the preparation of PVA/WPPy/hBNNP nanocomposite films by solution casting method from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), water soluble polypyrrole (WPPy), and using hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (hBNNP) ...
Conflicts and security in integrated water resources management
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Water Resources Management (IWRM) are criticized for not considering context, local realities or legitimacy during the implementation of water sector reforms. Universal remedies of IWRM can thus lead to resistance, conflicts ...
