Selective hydrogen gas sensor using CuFe 2 O 4 nanoparticle based thin film
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Hydrogen gas sensors based on CuFe2O4 nanoparticle thin films are presented in this work. Each gas sensor was prepared by depositing CuFe2O4 thin film on a glass substrate by dc sputtering inside a high vacuum chamber. ...
Oilfield scale formation and chemical removal: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
In oil and gas industry operations, scale deposition on the surface and subsurface production equipment can cause different problems such as formation damage, loss in production, pressure reductions, and premature failure ...
Characteristics-based model predictive control of selective catalytic reduction in diesel-powered vehicles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In heavy-duty diesel exhaust systems, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOx to nitrogen to meet environmental regulations. Diesel exhaust after-treatment involves a set of components that are best ...
Properties enhancement of Ni-P electrodeposited coatings by the incorporation of nanoscale Y 2 O 3 particles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study the influence of nanoscale Y 2 O 3 particles on structural, morphological, mechanical and the elemental composition of Ni-P coatings have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, ...

This work presents a number of integrated strategies aimed at enhancing the performance of the diesel engine and the subsequent reduction of its associated emissions. Three novel spiral-helical shaped intake manifolds with ...
The many facets of dopamine: Toward an integrative theory of the role of dopamine in managing the body's energy resources
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2018 , Article Review)
In neuroscience literature, dopamine is often considered as a pleasure chemical of the brain. Dopaminergic neurons respond to rewarding stimuli which include primary rewards like opioids or food, or more abstract forms of ...
Effect of Lorentz forces on forced-convection nanofluid flow over a stretched surface
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Magnetic nanofluid hydrothermal analysis over a plate is studied that includes consideration of thermal radiation. The Runge-Kutta (RK4) method is utilized to get solution of ODEs which are obtained from similarity solution. ...
