A Survey on Energy Harvesting and Integrated Data Sharing in Wireless Body Area Networks
(
SAGE publications
, 2015 , Article)
Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are important branches of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). They promise unobtrusive ambulatory health monitoring for real-time updates of patients' medical records that have aroused ...
Enhancing the Cognitive and Learning Skills of Children with Intellectual Disability through Physical Activity and Edutainment Games
(
SAGE publications
, 2015 , Article)
This work introduces an edutainment system specifically designed to help children with intellectual disability (ID) in order to allow them to have an enhanced and enjoyable learning process and addresses the need for ...
Coffee and its waste repel gravid Aedes albopictus females and inhibit the development of their embryos
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
Dengue is a prevalent arboviral disease and the development of insecticide resistance among its vectors impedes endeavors to control it. Coffee is drunk by millions of people daily worldwide, which is associated ...
Tryptophan-functionalized gold nanoparticles for deep UV imaging of microbial cells
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Biocompatible fluorescent nanostructures were prepared by a functionalization of gold nanoparticles with the amino acid tryptophan. The gold-tryptophan bioconjugates were investigated by TEM and HRTEM and various spectroscopy ...
Mechanical properties and surface characteristics of an AA6060 alloy strained in tension at cryogenic and room temperature
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Mechanical properties at 77 K and 295 K and surface characteristics of an AA6060 alloy have been studied. The alloy exhibited significant differences in mechanical properties and fracture mechanisms at 77 K in comparison ...
Calorimetric and dynamic mechanical behavior of phase change materials based on paraffin wax supported by expanded graphite
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This study addressed the characterization and description of calorimetric and dynamic mechanical properties of phase change materials (PCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) and expanded ...
Surface-type nonvolatile electric memory elements based on organic-on-organic CuPc-H
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
A novel surface-type nonvolatile electric memory elements based on organic semiconductors CuPc and H2Pc are fabricated by vacuum deposition of the CuPc and H2Pc films on preliminary deposited metallic (Ag and Cu) electrodes. ...
Nanowetting of Graphene by Ionic Liquid Droplets
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
The behavior of nanodroplets formed by amino acid based 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine ionic liquid on graphene sheets was studied using classic molecular dynamics. Nanodroplets of different sizes were analyzed, and ...
Systematic Study on the Viscosity of Ionic Liquids: Measurement and Prediction
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Dynamic viscosity for twenty-seven ionic liquids involving ions with molecular structures selected to infer the effects of molecular structure on fluids' viscosity is reported in this work as a function of temperature. The ...
Biological screening of newly synthesized BIAN N-heterocyclic gold carbene complexes in zebrafish embryos
(
MDPI AG
, 2015 , Article)
N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) metal complexes possess diverse biological activities but have yet to be extensively explored as potential chemotherapeutic agents. We have previously reported the synthesis of a new class of ...
