Electrical and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding properties of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride nanocomposite films
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (h-BNNPs) reinforced flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple and versatile solution casting method. The morphological, thermal and ...
Investigation of the rheological properties of nanosilica-reinforced polyacrylamide/polyethyleneimine gels for wellbore strengthening at high reservoir temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Wellbore strengthening has been introduced recently to resolve lost circulation problems by improving the fracture gradient and hence extending the mud window. Polymeric cross-linkable solutions showed outstanding strength ...
Drivers’ estimation of their travelling speed: a study on an expressway and a local road
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Correctly estimating the travelling speed is essential for safety on the roads to ensure safer interactions with other drivers and to avoid violations of traffic regulations. Therefore, it is important to create understanding ...
Microstructure, wear and corrosion characteristics of Cu matrix reinforced SiC–graphite hybrid composites
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of SiC-graphite reinforcement on the properties of pure copper. Copper matrix composites with SiC-graphite reinforcement (0, 2.5,5, 7.5 and 10 wt.%) were prepared ...
Enhancement of CO2 biofixation and lipid production by Chlorella vulgaris using coloured polypropylene film
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Chlorella vulgaris was cultivated with light at different wavelengths (λmax) and irradiation intensities (I) by applying a coloured tape (CT) as a simple, inexpensive light filter. C. vulgaris was cultivated in a standard ...

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that affect paddy farmers’ environmental citizenship behaviour (ECB) in the context of agrochemical purchase. To achieve this objective, a theoretical framework ...
House dust mite-treated PAR2 over-expressor mouse: A novel model of atopic dermatitis
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex skin disease involving causative effects from both intrinsic and extrinsic sources. Murine models of the disease often fall short in one of these components and, as a result, ...
Effects of lunar phases on short-term, explosive physical performance among young trained athletes
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Beliefs that lunar phases affect human physiology started in ancient times. Research has recently revealed that a physical fitness index increased in sedentary students at the new moon (NM) and full moon (FM) compared to ...
Energy allocation optimization for AF multi-hop in a cognitive radio system
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, novel optimal energy allocation schemes for the secondary users in an amplify-and-forward multi-hop underlay cognitive network are proposed. The optimization problem is formulated as a maximization of the ...
