Influence of CuO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets on the sensing behaviour of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites for the detection of ethanol and propanol vapors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/copper oxide/graphene nanoplatelets (PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls) nanocomposite based chemiresistive alcohol sensors were fabricated using colloidal blending method. The PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls nanocomposite films were ...
Rational functions: an alternative approach to asset pricing
(
Routledge
, 2019 , Article)
This paper shows that asset prices are linear polynomials of various underlying explanatory factors and asset returns being ratios of these polynomials, are rational functions that do not add linearly when averaging. Hence, ...
Adsorption Equilibrium and Kinetics of Nitrogen, Methane and Carbon Dioxide Gases onto ZIF-8, Cu10%/ZIF-8, and Cu30%/ZIF-8
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Various ZIFs (ZIF-8, Cu10%/ZIF-8, and Cu30%/ZIF-8) were exploited in the adsorption of N2, CH4, and CO2 gases over a temperature range from 25 to 55 C. The dual site Langmuir model was used to describe the measured adsorption ...

(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Using panel data for six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries from 1995-2014, we assess the impacts of several major economic variables on intra-GCC food exports, and on GCC food exports to the world. The GCC customs ...
The electronic origin of the ground state spectral features and excited state deactivation in cycloalkanones: the role of intermolecular H-bonding in neat and binary mixtures of solvents
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, a D-A cycloalkanone (K1) has been investigated by steady state absorption and fluorescence in neat solvents and in three binary mixtures of nonpolar aprotic/polar protic, polar aprotic/polar protic, and polar ...
Towards adaptive multimedia system for assisting children with Arabic learning difficulties
(2019 , Conference Paper)
Children with learning difficulties (LD) are increasing dramatically in the Arab world. Such children require quick intervention especially during the early childhood years. This paper presents a dynamic multimedia system ...
A single dynamic observer-based module for design of simultaneous fault detection, isolation and tracking control scheme
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
The problem of simultaneous fault detection, isolation and tracking (SFDIT) control design for linear systems subject to both bounded energy and bounded peak disturbances is considered in this work. A dynamic observer is ...
