Morphological and structural properties of VoPcPhO:P3HT composite thin films
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we report the formation of VOPcPhO and P3HT composite nanostructures by spin-coating technique. Novel structural and morphological properties of the composite film have been observed at a specific volumetric ...
Finite element modelling and characterization of 3D cellular microstructures for the design of a cementless biomimetic porous hip stem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium porous cellular microstructures are commonly used in bone mimetic implants. The orientations of the internal strut architectures of these microstructures affect the mechanical performance under various loads; ...
A framework based on location hazard index for optimizing operational performance of emergency response strategies: The case of petrochemical industrial cities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Emergency response operations are very important activities in the industrial areas. As an incident in an industrial area can have considerable economic and social impact, response to such an incident has to be provided ...
A novel axially half corrugated thin-walled tube for energy absorption under Axial loading
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, tubes with different axial corrugations were studied under axial loading. Accordingly, a new axially half-corrugated thin-walled tube was developed to improve the energy absorption characteristics. The forming ...
On the optimal computing budget allocation problem for large scale simulation optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Selecting a set that contains the best simulated systems is an important area of research. When the number of alternative systems is large, then it becomes impossible to simulate all alternatives, so one needs to relax the ...
Fabrication and characterization of size-selected Cu nanoclusters using a magnetron sputtering source
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Copper nanoclusters are used widely in applications such as glucose and gas sensors. A physical method is used to produce copper nanoclusters utilizing an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system. Using a quadrupole mass filter ...
A practical solution approach for the green vehicle routing problem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Green vehicle routing (GVRP) is an active research area that is concerned with the development and analysis of distribution activities with eco-friendly vehicles. We propose a practical solution approach for the GVRP that ...
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 ...
Acute mercury toxicity modulates cytochrome P450, soluble epoxide hydrolase and their associated arachidonic acid metabolites in C57Bl/6 mouse heart
(
Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Mercury exposure is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and profound cardiotoxicity. However, the correlation between Hg2+-mediated toxicity and alteration in cardiac cytochrome P450s (Cyp) and their ...
Expression of sperm PLC? and clinical outcomes of ICSI-AOA in men affected by globozoospermia due to DPY19L2 deletion
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Globozoospermia is characterized by the presence of 100% acrosomeless round-headed spermatozoa in an ejaculate. Failed fertilization after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is commonly reported for globozoospermic ...
