Numerical evaluation of the thermal performance of a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger with short-grass ground cover: A parametric study
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
High energy consumption and increasing energy cost have encouraged investment in energy efficiency. In hot areas, like the Middle East, the share of space cooling accounts for most of the total energy use in buildings. ...
Synchronization and chimeras in a network of photosensitive FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Recently, a photosensitive model has been proposed that takes into account nonlinear encoding and responses of photosensitive neurons that are subject to optical signals. In the model, a photocell term has been added to ...
A Review of Usability Evaluation Techniques for Augmented Reality Systems in Education
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Augmented Reality (AR) converts a gigantic amount of data and analytics into images and/or animations that are overlaid into the real scene. The emerging technology of AR has been investigated for more than forty years, ...
8-hydroxyquinoline grafted triazole derivatives as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in H2SO4 solution: Electrochemical and theoretical studies
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2021 , Article)
The inhibition capacity of carbon steel (CS) in 0.5M H2SO4 by three 8-hydroxyquinoline grafted triazole derivatives (EHTC, AHTC, and MHTC) have been investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), ...
The effect of sizing optimization on the interface between high strength steel and fiber reinforced composite
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This paper aims to examine fiber type and fiber orientation’s effects on the interface bonding between steel and fiber-reinforced composites. To this end, fracture loads for modes I and II were experimentally determined. ...
Cancer bioenergetics as emerging holistic cancer theory: the role of metabolic fluxes and transport proteins involved in metabolic pathways in the pathogenesis of malignancies. State-of-the-art and future prospects
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Cancer represents a global health concern, imposing a severe burden both from a societal and clinical perspective. Despite the latest advancements and achievements in the treatment and management of malignancy, cancer still ...
Exercise training increases telomerase reverse transcriptase gene expression and telomerase activity: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article Review)
Telomeres protect genomic stability and shortening is one of the hallmarks of ageing. Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is the major protein component of telomerase, which elongates telomeres. Given that short telomeres ...
The effect of sport and physical activity on transport proteins: implications for cancer prevention and control
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
The present contribution briefly overviews the major biological functions of the plasma membrane and of the transport proteins (transporters), which enable the movement of different molecules and substrates (either charged ...
Epigenetic control of exercise adaptations in the equine athlete: Current evidence and future directions
(
Equine Veterinary Journal Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Horses (Equus ferus caballus) have evolved over the past 300 years in response to man-made selection for particular athletic traits. Some of the selected traits were selected based on the size and horses' muscular power ...
Reviewing the relationship between physiology of breathing and physical activity in anxiety disorders
(
Montenegrin Sports Academy
, 2021 , Article Review)
The possible influence of the quality of breathing on physical activity remains the subject of numerous scientific studies in different fields, including not only the most basic physiological and biological concepts but ...
