Efficacy of Lawsonia inermis leaves extract and its phenolic compounds against olive knot and crown gall diseases.
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This study was undertaken to determine the antibacterial efficacy of the leaves extracts of Lawsonia inermis in vitro and in vivo, against the phytopathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas savastanoi pv savastanoi IVIA 1628 and ...
Instantaneous Frequency Estimation of Multi-component Non-Stationary Signals using Multi-view Time-Frequency Distributions Based on the Adaptive Fractional Spectrogram
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
This letter presents a novel algorithm to compute the instantaneous frequency (IF) of a multicomponent nonstationary signal using a combination of fractional spectrograms (FS). A high resolution time frequency distribution ...
Improved bounds for hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks
(2013 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
The mechanical and adhesive properties of electrically and thermally conductive polymeric composites based on high density polyethylene filled with nickel powder
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Electrically and thermally conductive composites made using high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix blended with a special grade of branch-structured nickel particles were studied. Composites with high filler content were ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...
The role of pharmaceutical marketing and other factors in prescribing decisions: The Yemeni experience
(2013 , Article)
Background: Prescribing decisions are a complex phenomenon and influenced by many pharmacological and non-pharmacological factors. Little is known about the actual prescribing behaviors of physicians or the factors behind ...
Fast and memory-efficient algorithms for computing quadratic time–frequency distributions
(
Elsevier Inc
, 2013 , Article)
Algorithms for computing time–frequency distributions (TFDs) limit computation time by reducing numerical operations. But these fast algorithms do not reduce the memory load. This article presents four TFD algorithms to ...
Mechanical and thermal properties of date palm leaf fiber reinforced recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) composites
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
Development of a recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PETr) reinforced with surface treated date palm leaf fiber (DPLF) composites with enhanced mechanical properties have been studied. Surface modified date palm leaf ...
Charge-transfer complexes formed in the reaction of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane with π-electron acceptors
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Abstract The reactions of the electron donor 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (TACDD) with the π-electron acceptors 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone ...
Relay selection in underlay cognitive networks with fixed transmission power nodes
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
Underlay cognitive networks operate simultaneously with primary networks satisfying stringent interference constraints, which reduces their transmission power and coverage area. To reach remote destinations, secondary ...
