Dissipativity Analysis of a Class of Competitive Neural Networks with Proportional Delays
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
This paper dealt with the dissipativity problem for a class of competitive neural networks with proportional delays. Based on Lyapunov functionals approach, new sufficient conditions are derived to ensuring the strictly ...
Ang-(1-7)/ MAS1 receptor axis inhibits allergic airway inflammation via blockade of Src-mediated EGFR transactivation in a murine model of asthma
(
Public Library of Science
, 2019 , Article)
The angiotensin-(1–7) [Ang-(1–7)]/MAS1 receptor signaling axis is a key endogenous anti-inflammatory signaling pathway. However, the mechanisms by which its mediates the anti-inflammatory effects are not completely understood. ...
Spider silk fibers: Synthesis, characterization, and related biomedical applications
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Book chapter)
Compared to silkworm silks, spider silks (SS) are considered stronger, most elastic, and tougher biomaterials. Web-weaving spiders use impressive silks where the proteins in the silks can be described as virtually nondiverged. ...
A memetic algorithm for the bi-objective quadratic assignment problem
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Recently, multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been extensively used to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) since they have the ability to approximate a set of non-dominated solutions in ...

Removal of petroleum hydrocarbons and sulfates from produced water using different bioelectrochemical reactor configurations
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Produced water (PW) is a wastewater generated in large quantities from the extraction of oil and gas. PW found to have high amounts of dissolved solids (TDS) and residual petroleum hydrocarbons causing considerable damage ...
Epoxy coatings modified with a new cerium phosphate inhibitor for smart corrosion protection of steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this work cerium tri(bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate) (Ce(DEHP)3) particles were used as anti-corrosion pigments in epoxy coatings applied on steel coupons. The composition of the corrosion inhibitor was designed to introduce ...
Investigation of flexible polymer-Tl2O3 nanocomposites for x-ray detector applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We report on the synthesis and characterization of composite semiconducting polymer – nanoparticle membranes for X-ray detection applications. The membranes are made of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) organic polymer that is ...
RF-based drone detection and identification using deep learning approaches: An initiative towards a large open source drone database
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The omnipresence of unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, among civilians can lead to technical, security, and public safety issues that need to be addressed, regulated and prevented. Security agencies are in continuous ...
