Tactile device based on opto-mechanical actuation of liquid crystal elastomers
(2014 , Article)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. Thus, actuation can be produced on ...
Multi-user diversity with optimal power allocation in spectrum sharing under average interference power constraint
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we investigate the performance of multi-user diversity (MUD) with optimal power allocation (OPA) in spectrum sharing (SS) under average interference power (AIP) constraint. In particular, OPA through average ...
Silymarin-albumin nanoplex: Preparation and its potential application as an antioxidant in nervous system in vitro and in vivo
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, we formulated silymarin-HSA nanoplex and assayed its ability to reduce LPS-induced toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Silymarin molecules were encapsulated into HSA nanoplex and the loading efficiency and ...
Re-parameterization reduces irreducible geometric constraint systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
You recklessly told your boss that solving a non-linear system of size n (n unknowns and n equations) requires a time proportional to n, as you were not very attentive during algorithmic complexity lectures. So now, you ...
Arabic handwriting recognition using sequential minimal optimization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Due to the variability of writing styles and to other problems related to the nature of Arabic scripts, the recognition of Arabic handwriting is still awaiting accurate results. Segmentation of Arabic handwritten words ...
Combustion synthesis of bifunctional LaMO3 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) perovskites for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Lanthanum based electrocatalytically active LaMO3 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) perovskites were synthesized using a single step solution combustion technique. The structural and morphological properties of the catalysts were ...

(
American Phytopathological Society
, 2014 , Article)
Ceratocystis radicicola (anamorph: Thielaviopsis paradoxa) was reported as an economically important pathogen causing serious diseases on date palm such as rhizosis (2) and black scorch (3) or as an associated pathogen ...
Designing ionic liquid solvents for carbon capture using property-based visual approach
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been introduced as potential carbon dioxide (CO2)-capturing solvents, as a substitute to conventional amine-based solvents. Conventional amine-based solvents that are used for CO2 capture ...
Soil moisture effects on leaf litter decomposition and soil carbon dioxide efflux in wetland and upland forests
(
Soil Science Society of America
, 2014 , Article)
This study examined, first, the response of litter decomposition and soil CO2 efflux (RS) to different soil moisture conditions and, second, the application of various litter decomposition functions in a wetland and upland ...
