Implementation and evaluation of a patient safety course in a problem-based learning program
(2017 , Article)
Background: Since the development of the WHO patient safety curriculum guide, there has been insufficient reporting regarding the implementation and evaluation of patient safety courses in undergraduate problem-based ...
Detection of paracetamol as substrate of the gut microbiome
(
Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
Gut microbiome, a new organ; represent targets to alter pharmacokinetics of orally administered drugs. Recently, in vitro trials endorsed the idea that orally administered drugs interact and some of their quantity may be ...
Encapsulation of tung oil for self-healing coatings in corrosion applications
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Encapsulation of tung oil for use in self-healing applications using urea-formaldehyde as the shell was performed via in-situ polymerization. Microcapsules ranging from 100 to 250 μm with a shell wall thickness of 1.7–2.6 ...
Zero-bias photocurrents in highly-disordered networks of Ge and Si nanowires
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Semiconducting nanowire (NW) devices have garnered attention in self-powered electronic and optoelectronic applications. This work explores and exhibits, for the first time for visible light, clear evidence of the zero-biased ...
Photoresponse of silicon with asymmetric area contacts
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
We report on high performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photosensors based on asymmetric metal pad areas. The reported devices require a single-step metal deposition, and exhibit large photo response even under ...
Macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing soil-solid interface friction under low effective normal stresses
(
ASTM International
, 2014 , Article)
The paper describes a new macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing the largedisplacement soil/solid interface drained shear strength at low effective normal stresses. The testing method arises from a need to ...
Shear strength of geosynthetic composite systems for design of landfill liner and cover slopes
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Torsional ring shear tests were performed on composite specimens that simulate the field alignment of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill liner and cover system components. Simultaneous shearing was provided to each test ...
Settlement of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in rock - analytical and experimental study
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Finite element analysis was performed to study the settlement behaviour of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in nonhomogenous rock. The elastic modulus of the rock mass was taken to increase linearly along the pile ...
Two- and three-dimensional analyses of translational slides in soils with nonlinear failure envelopes
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2010 , Article)
This paper aims to assess the effect of nonlinearity of the soil shear strength envelope on the sliding mass con-figurations and the minimum two- and three-dimensional factors of safety for slopes susceptible to translational ...
Residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low effective normal stresses
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
A laboratory research program was undertaken to study the large-strain shear strength characteristics of fine-grained soils under low effective normal stresses ([1]3-7 kPa). Soils that cover a wide range of plasticity and ...
