The effect of acute ophiobolin A treatment on HO-mediated inflammatory processes
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Many microbial and plant-derived metabolites contribute to the production of inflammatory mediators and the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules. Ophiobolin A (OPA) is a fungal secondary metabolite produced by Bipolaris ...
Elastomer/thermoplastic modified epoxy nanocomposites: The hybrid effect of 'micro' and 'nano' scale
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The approach of simultaneously exploit the use of microscale elastomers/thermoplastics and nanoscale fillers for the modification of epoxy systems is presently an active research topic. Such hybrid modification of epoxy ...
TiO2/Halloysite hybrid filler reinforced epoxy nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and SonsInc.
, 2018 , Article)
TiO2 nanoparticles and Halloysite nanotubes were used together to modify epoxy matrix. They were introduced into the matrix using two different approaches: (a) both TiO2 nanoparticles and Halloysite nanotubes were incorporated ...
Peach resin coated silica particles for imidacloprid removal as a greener approach to water remediation
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
Pesticides are one of the major toxic pollutants that can be lethal even at trace levels. They generally enter into the water reservoirs through agricultural run-off and hence pose serious threat to flora and fauna of ...
Comparison of the effect of carbon, halloysite and titania nanotubes on the mechanical and thermal properties of LDPE based nanocomposite films
(
Chemical Industry Press
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, titania nanotubes (TNTs) were prepared by hydrothermal method with the aim to compare the properties of these one-dimensional tubular nanostructures' reinforced nanocomposites with the carbon and halloysite ...
Attitudes towards road safety among pre-drivers: The case of Qatar
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
A preliminary study involving school students aged 12-18 years attempted to test whether there is difference in attitudes towards road safety between Arab and non-Arab respondents. The sampled participants were categorized ...
Analyzing the impact of human characteristics on the comprehensibility of road traffic signs
(
IEOM Society
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Traffic safety is one of major challenges facing most communities worldwide. To improve traffic safety, regulating traffic movement through markings, signs, channelization, and others is essential. Traffic signs are used ...
Synthesis of Metallocene Catalyzed Ethylene 1,7-Octadiene Copolymer: Effect of Copolymerization on Polymer Properties
(
Polymer Society of Korea
, 2018 , Article)
In this article, metallocene catalyzed polyethylene homopolymer and ethylene 1,7-octadiene copolymers were synthesized and the produced polymers were characterized. The results show that these polymers were high density ...
An assessment tool to evaluate complete streets in developing countries: The case of Qatar
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Complete streets refer to a simple and effective transportation policy to improve traffic safety and comfort for all users within urban areas. Car dependency is a major concern in developing countries. Endorsing complete ...
Enhanced photocatalytic performance of WON@porous TiO2 nanofibers towards sunlight-assisted degradation of organic contaminants
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
In the last few decades, TiO2 has been widely used in different types of photocatalytic applications. However, the relatively large optical band gap (∼3.2 eV), low charge carrier mobility and consequently its low quantum ...
