Studies on chemistry, spectroscopy and antioxidant activities of chromium(III)-hydrazide complexes
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Acid hydrazides are vital chemical entities due to their biological activities. Upon complexation with certain metal ions, their biological activities are known to be positively enhanced. The present work describes the ...
Criminal thinking in a Middle Eastern prison sample of thieves, drug dealers, and murderers
(
Wiley
, 2015 , Article)
The Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles (PICTS) has been applied extensively to the study of criminal behaviour and cognition. This study aimed to explore the psychometric characteristics (factorial structure, ...
Translating the style of Aganaktismenoi(Indignants) on Facebook
(
De Gruyter
, 2015 , Article)
The paper discusses translation challenges associated with the linguistic and multisemiotic stylistic ways (Kress 2010; Coupland 2007) Aganaktismenoi, the Greek indignants’ movement, employ to produce a digital sense of ...
Inverse Adaptive Cluster Sampling with Unequal Selection Probabilities: Case Studies on Crab Holes and Arsenic Pollution
(
Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Adaptive cluster sampling is an efficient method of estimating the parameters of rare and clustered populations. The method mimics how biologists would like to collect data in the field by targeting survey effort to localised ...
Optimal Determination of Respiratory Airflow Patterns for a General Multicompartment Lung Mechanics System with Nonlinear Resistance and Compliance Parameters
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we develop a framework for determining optimal respiratory airflow patterns for a multicompartment lung mechanics system with nonlinear resistance and compliance parameters. First, a nonlinear multicompartment ...
An Attack-Resistant Trust Model Based on Multidimensional Trust Metrics in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have been widely used in many applications where a variable number of sensor nodes collaborate with each other to perform monitoring tasks. A trust model plays an important role ...
A Fatigue Measuring Protocol for Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2015 , Article)
As players and soldiers preform strenuous exercises and do difficult and tiring duties, they are usually the common victims of muscular fatigue. Keeping this in mind, we propose FAtigue MEasurement (FAME) protocol for ...

Facebook forms one of the most widely used online social networks, through which people manage their communication with diverse contacts or 'friends', ranging from members of the family and schoolmates to work colleagues ...
Synthesis of minimal-size ZnO nanoparticles through sol-gel method: Taguchi design optimisation
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) has excellent potential to be used in water and wastewater treatment, either as a photocatalyst or in membrane incorporation. In this work, the synthesis of smaller ZnO NPs through a sol-gel approach was ...
A new experimental device and inverse method to characterize thermal properties of composite phase change materials
(
Elsevier BV
