Impact of synthesis conditions on meso- and macropore structures of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels
(
Springer
, 2011 , Article)
Xerogels were prepared by the sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol with formaldehyde at different conditions. The effects of different synthesis factors (namely, resorcinol-to-formaldehyde ratio, resorcinol-to-water ratio, ...
Hybrid intelligent system for disease diagnosis based on artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithms
(2011 , Conference Paper)
Disease diagnosis often involves acquiring medical images using devices such as MRI, CT scan, x-ray, or mammograms of patients' organs. Though many medical diagnostic applications have been proposed; finding subtle cancerous ...
The 100 most influential persons in history": A data mining perspective
(2011 , Conference Paper)
Data mining has been widely applied in various domains; however, there have been limited studies into discovering hidden knowledge from factual data about selected groups of people with special characteristics. It is ...
The SCIDOTS Project: Evidence of benefits of an integrated tobacco cessation intervention in tuberculosis care on treatment outcomes
(2011 , Article)
Background: There is substantial evidence to support the association between tuberculosis (TB) and tobacco smoking and that the smoking-related immunological abnormalities in TB are reversible within six weeks of cessation. ...

(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Although recycled polymers and reinforced polymer composites have been in use for many years there is little information available on their environmental impacts. The goal of the present study is to analyze the environmental ...
A review on composite materials based on recycled thermoplastics and glass fibres
(2011 , Article Review)
Mechanical properties The purpose of this paper is to review recent work on composite materials based on recycled thermoplastics and glass fibres (GFs). The high collection and separation cost of plastics waste, and the ...
Processing and characterization of palm fiber-polypropylene composites
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Composites of palm fiber and polypropylene were compounded using a mixing device at various temperatures, mixing times, and mixing intensities. Two mixing options were utilized. Either the mixing device was mounted with a ...

The present study aimed to establish a fluorescence-based polymerase chain reaction-linked single-strand conformation polymorphism (F-PCR-SSCP) assay for the identification of Fasciola spp. Based on the sequences of the ...
Amidoximes: Promising candidates for CO 2 capture
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2011 , Article)
Monoethanolamine (MEA) dominates power plant carbon dioxide (CO 2) scrubbing processes, though with major disadvantages such as a 8-35% energy penalty. Here we report that structurally comparable amidoximes are promising ...
