, 2004 , Article)
Press-moulded, high density polyethylene (HDPE) samples were subjected to ion bombardment and effects of the modification studied. He+ ions of energy 100 keV or Ar+ ions of energy 130 keV were applied in the range of dose ...
Reduced erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles: One nano-host applicable for simultaneous optical down- and up-conversions
(
Springer Nature
, 2014 , Article)
This paper introduces a new synthesis procedure to form erbium-doped ceria nanoparticles (EDC NPs) that can act as an optical medium for both up-conversion and down-conversion in the same time. This synthesis process results ...
Improved electrical conductivity of carbon/polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers
(
Hindawi
, 2015 , Article)
Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) gained much interest in the last few years due to their promising electrical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics. This paper investigates a new nanocomposite composed of carbon nanofibers ...
Temperature and electric field effects on the dielectric dispersion of modified polyvinyl chloride
(
Elsevier
, 2003 , Article)
The effect of electric field on the dielectric dispersion of modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been investigated. The applied direct current (DC) field strength was ranging from 0 to 104 V cm−1. The complex permitivity ...
SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers more potent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses than mRNA-, vector-, and inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccines
(
Wiley
, 2024 , Article)
Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are elicited after infection and vaccination and have been well studied. However, their antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) functionality is still poorly characterized. Here, we ...
