Catalytic Degradation of 4-Ethylpyridine in Water by Heterogeneous Photo-Fenton Process
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, the degradation of 4-ethylpyridine (4EP) in water by a heterogeneous photo-Fenton process (H2O2/Fe3O4/ultraviolet irradiation (UV)) was investigated. More rapid and effective 4EP degradation was obtained with ...
Experimental setup to validate the effects of major environmental parameters on the performance of FSO communication link in Qatar
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Weather conditions and chemical composition of the atmosphere are the most uncontrollable challenges for free-space optical (FSO) communications. Environmental parameters contribute directly in the characterization of ...
Virtual flux oriented sensorless direct power control of qzs inverter connected to grid for solar pv applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Impedance source inverters (Z-source and Quazi-Z-source (QZS)) are the promising converter topologies in the future generation because of the buck, boost and buck-boost modes of operation. In this paper, three phase voltage ...
Tribo-mechanical properties and corrosion behavior investigation of anodized Ti-V alloy
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
In the work presented in this manuscript, a self-organized TiO2 nanotube array film was produced by electrochemical anodization of a Ti-V alloy in an electrolyte containing NH4F/H3PO4 and then annealed at different ...
Thermal properties of TiO 2 NP/CNT/LDPE hybrid nanocomposite films
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work aims to investigate the effect of hybrid filler concentration on the thermal stability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrices. LDPE-based composite films were synthesized by melt mixing, followed by compression ...
Quality of Coverage: A Novel Approach to Coverage for Mobile Crowd Sensing Systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) is an effective paradigm that utilizes the crowd as an extended instrument for the purpose of collecting data. However, utilizing the crowd comes with the risks stemming from the crowd's ...
Linearization of third-order ordinary differential equations u'''=f(x,u,u',u') via point transformations
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The linearization problem for scalar third-order ordinary differential equations via point transformations was solved partially in the works of Al-Dweik et al by the use of the Cartan equivalence method. In order to solve ...
Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Microwave Sintered Cu50Ti50 Amorphous Alloy Reinforced Al Metal Matrix Composites
(
Minerals, Metals and Materials Society
, 2018 , Article)
In the present work, Al metal matrix composites reinforced with Cu-based (Cu50Ti50) amorphous alloy particles synthesized by ball milling followed by a microwave sintering process were studied. The amorphous powders of ...
Toward a contagion-based model of mobile banking adoption
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to address the following question: Can a bank capitalize on its well-established self-service technologies (SSTs) in order to entice customers to adopt a newly introduced SST, namely, ...
Mycoplasma bovis-induced inhibition of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation is ameliorated after blocking the immune-inhibitory programmed death 1 receptor
(
American Society for Microbiology
, 2018 , Article)
Mycoplasma bovis-induced immune suppression is a major obstacle faced by the host for controlling infections. M. bovis impairment of antigen-specific T-cell responses is achieved through inhibiting the proliferation of ...
