New three-dimensional poly(decanediol-co-tricarballylate) elastomeric fibrous mesh fabricated by photoreactive electrospinning for cardiac tissue engineering applications
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Reactive electrospinning is capable of efficiently producing in situ crosslinked scaffolds resembling the natural extracellular matrix with tunable characteristics. In this study, we aimed to synthesize, characterize, and ...
Changes in resting-state functional brain activity are associated with waning cognitive functions in HIV-infected children.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Delayed brain development in perinatally HIV-infected children may affect the functional brain activity and subsequently cognitive function. The current study evaluated the functional brain activity in HIV-infected children ...
Enhanced photocatalytic performance of WON@porous TiO2 nanofibers towards sunlight-assisted degradation of organic contaminants
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
In the last few decades, TiO2 has been widely used in different types of photocatalytic applications. However, the relatively large optical band gap (∼3.2 eV), low charge carrier mobility and consequently its low quantum ...
Spectrum of mutations of cystic fibrosis in the 22 Arab countries: A systematic review.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, with various clinical manifestations that affect pulmonary, digestive, exocrine and male reproductive functions as well ...
Fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors by obstacle dielectrophoresis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) is currently believed to be an efficient biological treatment for reusing and recovering wastewater to extenuate the ever increasing water scarcity crisis. To mitigate the main problem, ...
Comparative study of classical and fuzzy -regulator in five phase synchronous machine control with open phase
(
IOS Press
, 2018 , Article)
Speed control of synchronous machines using Field Oriented Control (FOC) classically uses Proportional Integral (PI) or Integral Proportional (IP) regulators that allow to achieve satisfactory goals on the dynamics of speed ...
Modulation of wettability, gradient and adhesion on self-assembled monolayer by counterion exchange and pH
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, two quaternary ammonium salts derived from L-lipoic acid were applied for self-assembled monolayers formation on rough structured gold surface. The derivatives differ in functionality since one possesses ...
Characterization of biogenic hydroxyapatite derived from animal bones for biomedical applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. In this work, the viability of producing biogenic hydroxyapatite from bio-waste animal bones, namely bovine (cow), caprine (goat) and galline (chicken), through a heat treatment ...
Suspended death: on freezing corpses and muting death of Palestinian women martyrs
(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2018 , Article)
During the 2015 Palestinian ‘al-Quds’ uprising, more than 80 Palestinians were killed and their corpses were held by Israel in freezers. Fifteen of these corpses belonged to women and girls. This article draws on ethnographic ...
Highly stable Ti3C2Tx (MXene)/Pt nanoparticles-modified glassy carbon electrode for H2O2 and small molecules sensing applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Electrochemical performance of a 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene, where T: [dbnd]O, –OH, –F) sheets modified with Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs) was investigated. The results showed that Ti3C2Tx/PtNP nanocomposite deposited ...
