Compositional engineering of VOPcPhO-TiO2 nano-composite to reduce the absolute threshold value of humidity sensors
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This research work demonstrates compositional engineering of an organic-inorganic hybrid nano-composites for modifying absolute threshold of humidity sensors. Vanadyl-2,9,16,23-tetraphenoxy-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (VOPcPhO), ...
Extension of the model of binary fluidization to beds confined in a packing of coarse spheres
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The prediction of the minimum fluidization velocity of beds of Geldart's group B particles confined in a packed bed of coarse spheres can be achieved by extending to this peculiar type of systems the theory developed for ...
Initiation and inhibition of pitting corrosion on reinforcing steel under natural corrosion conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Initiation and inhibition of pitting corrosion on reinforcing steel in saturated, naturally aerated Ca(OH)2 solutions, under natural corrosion conditions, are followed through measurements of corrosion current, electrochemical ...
Synthesis of new amines for enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance: The effect of chemical structure on equilibrium solubility, cyclic capacity, kinetics of absorption and regeneration, and heats of absorption and regeneration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This work focused on the synthesis of new tertiary amines by varying the alkyl chain length with/without hydroxyl group in the structure. The effect of chemical structure of newly synthesized tertiary amines; 4-(dimethyl ...
The effect of sliding speed on the wear of steel-tool steel pairs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study examines the effect of sliding speed and surface temperature on the wear behavior of an unlubricated mild steel-tool steel contact pair using the pin-on-disc test. The operating conditions and contact pair are ...
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
naerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ...
Studying critical pedestrian behavioral changes for the safety assessment at signalized crosswalks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Pedestrian-vehicle conflicts are one of the most important safety concerns at signalized intersections especially in urban areas. Conflicting vehicles and pedestrians select their maneuvers by predicting the other user ...
Quantitative metabolomic and lipidomic profiling reveals aberrant amino acid metabolism in type 2 diabetes
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2013 , Article)
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a multi-factorial disease with a complex pathogenic mechanism; however a complete understanding of precise biochemical alterations accompanying the onset and progression of T2DM is lacking. Using ...
Sensorless sliding mode observer for a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor drive
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This paper deals with the sensorless vector controlled five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive based on a sliding mode observer (SMO). The observer is designed considering the back electromotive force ...
Modelling and analysis of a three-phase to five-phase transformer
(
Walter de Gruyter GmbH
, 2014 , Article)
Multi-phase systems are the focus of research in recent times due to their inherent advantages compared to the three-phase counterpart. A lot of research effort has been put to develop commercially feasible multi-phase ...
