Piezoelastic PVDF/TPU nanofibrous composite membrane: Fabrication and characterization
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Poly (vinylidene fluoride) nanofibers (PVDF NFs) have been extensively used in energy harvesting applications due to their promising piezoresponse characteristics. However, the mechanical properties of the generated fibers ...
Effect of prepregnancy maternal BMI on adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes: results from a retrospective cohort study of a multiethnic population in Qatar.
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
Given the small number of studies on the topic, we aimed to identify the impact of prepregnancy maternal body mass index (BMI) on adverse pregnancy outcomes (POs) in a low-risk, multiethnic population, and to calculate ...
Crystal structure of (E)-furan-2-carbaldehyde O-benzoyloxime
(
International Union of Crystallography
, 2017 , Article)
In the title compound, C12H9NO3, the benzoate and furan rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 11.68 (9)°. The twist angle between the –COO group and the benzene ring is only 2.79 (16)°. In the crystal, ...
MicroRNAs as Potential Pharmaco-targets in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Compounded by Diabetes.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) injury is the tissue damage that results from re-oxygenation of ischemic tissues. There are many players that contribute to I/R injury. One of these factors is the family of microRNAs (miRNAs), ...
New three-dimensional poly(decanediol-co-tricarballylate) elastomeric fibrous mesh fabricated by photoreactive electrospinning for cardiac tissue engineering applications
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Reactive electrospinning is capable of efficiently producing in situ crosslinked scaffolds resembling the natural extracellular matrix with tunable characteristics. In this study, we aimed to synthesize, characterize, and ...
Elastic properties of chiral, anti-chiral, and hierarchical honeycombs: A simple energy-based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of two geometric refinement strategies widespread in natural structures, chirality and self-similar hierarchy, on the in-plane elastic response of two-dimensional honeycombs were studied systematically. Simple ...
Changes in resting-state functional brain activity are associated with waning cognitive functions in HIV-infected children.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Delayed brain development in perinatally HIV-infected children may affect the functional brain activity and subsequently cognitive function. The current study evaluated the functional brain activity in HIV-infected children ...
Computational insights into the photocyclization of diclofenac in solution: Effects of halogen and hydrogen bonding
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of noncovalent interactions, namely halogen and hydrogen bonding, on the photochemical conversion of the photosensitizing drug diclofenac (DCF) in solution were investigated computationally. Both explicit and ...
Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ...
The New Silk Road: China’ Energy Policy and Strategy in the Mena Region
(
Qatar University
, 2017 , Article)
China is in dire need of energy resources to sustain its growth. In
recent years, China has been turning more to Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Middle
East as well as Sudan in North Africa as trade partners to secure its ...
