Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) Imaging of Cerebral Ischemia: Combined Analysis of Rat Brain Thin Cuts Toward Improved Tissue Classification
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Microspectroscopic techniques are widely used to complement histological studies. Due to recent developments in the field of chemical imaging, combined chemical analysis has become attractive. This technique facilitates a ...
Quantifying variations in ecosystem services in altitude-associated vegetation types in a tropical region of China
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Natural vegetation is important for ecosystem services (ESs) provision, but is decreasing rapidly due to human-driven land use change, especially rapid expansion of commercial plantations. This is leading to a decrease in ...
Relative sensitivity of soft-bottom intertidal macrofauna to increased CO2 and experimental stress
(
Inter-Research
, 2014 , Article)
We used a controlled CO2 perturbation experiment to test hypotheses about changes in diversity, composition and structure of soft-bottom intertidal macrobenthic assemblages, under realistic and locally relevant scenarios ...
The development, translation and validation of an instrument used in a tobacco cessation intervention study among patients with diabetes
(
Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research
, 2014 , Article)
Objective: In diabetes care, smoking cessation is a very important component that should be addressed in order to facilitate effective blood glucose control and to limit the development of complications associated with ...
Drivers� crossing behaviour between express and local lanes with soft separation: A driving simulator study
(
Gioacchino Onorati Editore
, 2018 , Article)
In different countries, hard separation is adopted as a technique to separate express and local lanes. However, in case of an incident, especially on the express lane, traffic jams can occur as there is no escape route. ...
Novel Cu (II) and Zn (II) complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives as effective corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1.0?M HCl solution: Computer modeling supported experimental studies
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, we have synthesized and characterized novel complexes of copper (II) and zinc (II). These complexes were obtained by reacting of 5-azidomethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline with copper chloride dihydrate and zinc chloride ...
DRL-HEMS: Deep Reinforcement Learning Agent for Demand Response in Home Energy Management Systems Considering Customers and Operators Perspectives
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2022 , Article)
With the smart grid and smart homes development, different data are made available, providing a source for training algorithms, such as deep reinforcement learning (DRL), in smart grid applications. These algorithms allowed ...
Social commerce as social networking
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Behavioral intention toward social commerce has been explained mainly by consumers' pursuit of utilitarian and economic value. However, in this paper, we show that consumers can be drawn to social commerce primarily for ...
Mosaic nanoparticle display of diverse influenza virus hemagglutinins elicits broad B cell responses.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
The present vaccine against influenza virus has the inevitable risk of antigenic discordance between the vaccine and the circulating strains, which diminishes vaccine efficacy. This necessitates new approaches that provide ...
Pomegranate peels as versatile adsorbents for water purification: Application of box–behnken design as a methodological optimization approach
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Pomegranate peels (PGP) were tested as a green adsorbent for the removal of Ni(II) from contaminated water samples. Both raw (RPG), and char/burnt peels (BPG) were tested. A multivariate analysis approach, Box–Behnken (BB) ...
