Estimation procedures based on preliminary test in exponential distribution under progressive censoring
(
Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper considers the preliminary test estimator of the unknown parameter of the exponential distribution based on progressively Type-II censored samples. The mean squared error of the proposed estimator is derived and ...
Weak and strong convergence theorems for generalized nonexpansive mappings
(
Universitatii Al.I.Cuza din Iasi
, 2016 , Article)
We consider a class of generalized nonexpansive mappings introduced by Karapinar and seen as a generalization of Suzuki (C)-condition. We prove some weak and strong convergence theorems for approximating fixed points of ...
An Experimental and Kinetic Study of the Sorption of Carbon Dioxide onto Amine-Treated Oil Fly Ash
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2016 , Article)
A new CO2 adsorbent is produced from waste oil fly ash (OFA). Ammonium hydroxide solution is used to convert OFA to activated carbon. Then, the product is used for the adsorption of CO2 from a nitrogen/carbon dioxide ...
A mixed iron–manganese based pyrophosphate cathode, Na2Fe0.5Mn0.5P2O7, for rechargeable sodium ion batteries
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The development of secondary batteries based on abundant and cheap elements is vital. Among various alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising due to the abundant resources ...
The role of mid-chain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids in the pathogenesis of hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article Review)
The incidence, prevalence, and hospitalization rates associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are projected to increase substantially in the world. Understanding of the biological and pathophysiological mechanisms ...
Doubly dual nature of ammonium-based ionic liquids for methane hydrates probed by rocking-rig assembly
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
This work presents a systematic study of methane hydrate inhibition in the presence of five structurally variable ionic liquids (ILs) belonging to the ammonium family—viz., tetra-alkylammonium acetate (TMAA), choline ...
Synthesis, characterization and applications of electroless Ni-B coatings-A review
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2016 , Article Review)
Electroless nickel coating process has experienced remarkable modifications since its invention by Branner and Riddell in 1946. This process has proven to be very useful for applying uniform, hard, wear resistant coatings ...
Flavonol-carbon nanostructure hybrid systems: A DFT study on the interaction mechanism and UV/Vis features
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Flavonols are a class of natural compounds with potential biological and pharmacological applications. They are also natural pigments responsible for the diversity of colors in plants. Flavonols offer the possibility of ...
Risk of Traffic Incident Delay in Routing and Scheduling of Hazardous Materials
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Unlike normal traffic incidents, incidents involving hazardous material are associated with significant traffic delays. The model of the hazardous material routing and scheduling problem presented in this paper considers ...
