Tracking the commute home from school utilizing GPS and heart rate monitoring: Establishing the contribution to free-living physical activity
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Background: Active school commuting is widely regarded as a key opportunity for youth to participate in physical activity (PA). However, the accurate measurement of the commute home from school and its contribution to total ...
Ionic liquid design for enhanced carbon dioxide capture by computer-aided molecular design approach
(
Springer Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Carbon capture and storage is an emerging technology to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial sources such as power plants. Post-combustion capture based on aqueous amine scrubbing is one of the most ...
Multi-objective optimization methodology to size cogeneration systems for managing flares from uncertain sources during abnormal process operations
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Flaring is common practice in industries to reduce the risk during abnormal situations, to maintain the product quality or to operate safely during process start up and shut down. Due to its large negative impacts on the ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction.
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2015 , Article)
Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage ...
A hybrid LQP alternating direction method for solving variational inequality problems with separable structure
(
Natural Sciences Publishing Co.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we presented a logarithmic-quadratic proximal alternating direction method for structured variational inequalities. The method generates the new iterate by searching the optimal step size along the descent ...
The common solutions of the split feasibility problems and fixed point problems
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
An extraordinary split problem, which can be regarded as a superimposition of the split feasibility problem and the split fixed point problem, is considered. A superimposed algorithm is presented. The analysis technique ...
Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) inhibits proliferation, adhesion, migration, and invasion of human colorectal cancer cells
(
Mary Ann Liebert Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common malignancies and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Its prognosis remains poor for patients with several grades of this disease. This underscores the need for ...
In situ electron microscopy of Braille microsystems: Photoactuation of ethylene vinyl acetate/carbon nanotube composites
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
The development of new types of tactile displays based on the actuation of composite materials can aid the visually impaired. Micro/nano systems based on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymeric matrices enriched with ...
Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene Copolymer Doped with Expanded Graphite Nanoplatelets
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2015 , Article)
The molecular dynamics of a triblock copolymer and of expanded graphite nanoplatelets were investigated. Composites were prepared using the solution technique. The effects of filler addition and of filler-matrix interactions ...
