A case analysis of E-government service delivery through a service chain dimension
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Unlike e-business few studies have examined how information is generated and exchanged between stakeholders in an e-government service chain to generate value for citizens. This case study applies the concept of service ...
Invariant characterization of third-order ordinary differential equations u''=f(x,u,u',u) with five-dimensional point symmetry group
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The Cartan equivalence method is applied to provide an invariant characterization of the third-order ordinary differential equation u''=f(x,u,u',u') which admits a five-dimensional point symmetry Lie algebra. The invariant ...
Silver nanoparticle impregnated chitosan-PEG hydrogel enhances wound healing in diabetes induced rabbits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Non-healing wounds are among the serious complications of type-2-diabetes around the globe, associated with high incidence of bacterial infection, chronic nerve and blood vessel damage, and eventually repeated amputation ...
Albumin binding, antioxidant and antibacterial effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, the interaction of CeO2 NPs with HSA was explored by fluorescence, CD, UV–vis and molecular docking studies. Afterwards, the antioxidant activity of CeO2 NPs against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in BM-MSCs were ...
The effect of aluminum oxide on red blood cell integrity and hemoglobin structure at nanoscale
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, we explored the interaction of Al2O3 NPs with RBCs and Hb to determine the effect of Al2O3 NPs on hemolytic activity and Hb denaturation. The percentage of hemolysis of extracts and direct contact assays triggered ...
Well-to-wheel water footprints of conventional versus electric vehicles in the United States: A state-based comparative analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Today, increasing levels of water demand become a particularly serious challenge for many countries, especially since water is an essential element for production of transportation fuels. Unfortunately, no research efforts ...
1-D CNNs for structural damage detection: Verification on a structural health monitoring benchmark data
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Structural damage detection has been an interdisciplinary area of interest for various engineering fields. While the available damage detection methods have been in the process of adapting machine learning concepts, most ...
Effectiveness of Ni incorporation in iron oxide crystal structure towards thermochemical CO2 splitting reaction
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, Ni-doped iron oxide (NixFe3−xO4) materials were synthesized via the 1,2-epoxypropane assisted sol-gel method by varying the molar concentration of Ni from x=0.2 to 1. Sol-gel derived NixFe3−xO4 gels were ...
Improvement of humidity sensing properties of PVDF-TiO2 nanocomposite films using acetone etching
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, we enhanced the humidity sensing properties of the polyvinylidene fluoride titanium dioxide (PVDF-TiO2) nanocomposites based capacitive humidity sensors by modifying the film surface. The surface morphology ...
Dark soliton scattering in symmetric and asymmetric double potential barriers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Motivated by the recent theoretical study of (bright) soliton diode effects in systems with multiple scatterers, as well as by experimental investigations of soliton-impurity interactions, we consider some prototypical ...
