The effect of sliding speed on the wear of steel-tool steel pairs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study examines the effect of sliding speed and surface temperature on the wear behavior of an unlubricated mild steel-tool steel contact pair using the pin-on-disc test. The operating conditions and contact pair are ...
Application of various water soluble polymers in gas hydrate inhibition
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article Review)
Formation of hydrates in gas transmission lines due to high pressures and low temperatures is a serious problem in the oil and gas industry with potential hazards and/or economic losses. Kinetic hydrate inhibitors are water ...
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
naerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ...
Pedestrians' Crossing Behavior at Marked Crosswalks on Channelized Right-Turn Lanes at Intersections
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Unsignalized marked crosswalks are problematic locations from pedestrians' safety perspective. Although the priority rule at such locations is clear; pedestrians have the absolute right of way over vehicles, driver often ...
Studying critical pedestrian behavioral changes for the safety assessment at signalized crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are one of the most important safety concerns at signalized intersections especially in urban areas. Conflicting vehicles and pedestrians select their maneuvers by predicting the other user ...
Consideration of a Pedestrian Speed Change Model in the Pedestrian-Vehicle Safety Assessment of Signalized Crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Pedestrian safety is one of the most challenging issues in the road network. Understanding the pedestrian maneuver is the key to applying countermeasures against traffic crashes. It is known that behaviors of pedestrians ...
Quantitative metabolomic and lipidomic profiling reveals aberrant amino acid metabolism in type 2 diabetes
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2013 , Article)
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a multi-factorial disease with a complex pathogenic mechanism; however a complete understanding of precise biochemical alterations accompanying the onset and progression of T2DM is lacking. Using ...
The predictive value of IL28B rs12979860, rs11881222 and rs8099917 polymorphisms and IP-10 in the therapeutic response of Egyptian genotype 4 patients
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Interleukin-28B (IL28B) polymorphisms have previously been reported to be strongly associated with spontaneous and treatment-induced HCV viral clearance. AimTo assess the impact of four different IL28B polymorphisms and ...
Association of adiponectin gene polymorphism (+T45G) with acute coronary syndrome and circulating adiponectin levels
(
SAGE
, 2012 , Article)
We investigated the association of adiponectin gene polymorphisms (+T45G and +G276T) and adiponectin levels with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among Arabs in Qatar. A case-control study was performed in 142 Arab patients ...
Genetic polymorphisms of ICAM 1 and IL28 as predictors of liver fibrosis severity and viral clearance in hepatitis C genotype 4
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Background and objectivesIntercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is located on chromosome 19p13.2, and this protein plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The rs12979860 polymorphism ...
