Template-assisted growth of nanoporous VTTBNc films: Morphology and moisture sensitivity studies
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
A novel structured of nanoporous vanadyl 2,11,20,29-Tetra Tert-Butyl 2,3 Naphthalocyanine (VTTBNc) films were prepared by template-assisted method. The structure and morphology of the fabricated VTTBNc nanostructures were ...
Synthesis of new amines for enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance: The effect of chemical structure on equilibrium solubility, cyclic capacity, kinetics of absorption and regeneration, and heats of absorption and regeneration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This work focused on the synthesis of new tertiary amines by varying the alkyl chain length with/without hydroxyl group in the structure. The effect of chemical structure of newly synthesized tertiary amines; 4-(dimethyl ...
Clogging vs. fouling in immersed membrane bioreactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Whilst the fouling of MBR membrane surfaces has been very extensively explored by the academic community, there is an increasingly widespread recognition by practitioners of the issue of clogging of membrane channels with ...
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 ...
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 ...
An optimal two-bout strategy with phase change material cooling vests to improve comfort in hot environment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Cooling vests incorporating phase change material (PCM) packets are used to improve comfort of workers in hot environments. This work aims to investigate by modeling and experimentation the effect of dividing the working ...
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 ...
The role of statistics in data-centric engineering
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
We explore the role of statistics for Big Data analysis arising from the emerging field of Data-Centric Engineering. Using examples related to sensor-instrumented bridges, we highlight a number of issues and challenges. ...
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 ...
