Photocatalytic Degradation of Pentachlorophenol Using ZnO Nanoparticles: Study of Intermediates and Toxicity
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The photocatalytic degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) was carried out using ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of sunlight. The effect of different ZnO NPs sizes was synthesized by sol–gel method as well as loading ...
Residual self-interference analysis for full-duplex OFDM transceivers under phase noise and I/Q imbalance
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this letter, we investigate the detrimental effects of phase noise (PN) and in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance (IQI) on full-duplex OFDM transceivers. In particular, we derive a closed-form expression for the average ...
Pharmacotherapy of Persons with Dementia in Long-Term Care in Australia: A Descriptive Audit of Central Nervous System Medications
(
Bentham Science Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
BACKGROUND:
Neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia are often treated through the prescription of one or more psychotropic medications. However, limited efficacy and potential harmful side-effects has resulted in efforts ...
Oxidative stress-induced Akt downregulation mediates green tea toxicity towards prostate cancer cells
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Green tea consumption has been shown to possess cancer chemopreventive activity. Polyphenol E (PE) is a widely used standardized green tea extract formulation. This study was designed to investigate the impact of PE on ...
Service Ethnocentrism: A Conceptual Model (An Abstract)
(
Springer Nature
, 2017 , Book chapter)
The service marketing literature has recognized the importance of studying cross-cultural service encounters in which the service provider and the customer are from different cultures (Baker et al. 2008; Sharma et al. 2014; ...
Rational design of porous binary Pt-based nanodendrites as efficient catalysts for direct glucose fuel cells over a wide pH range
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
The development of porous bi-metallic Pt-based nanocrystals (NCs) as efficient catalysts for the glucose oxidation reaction (GOR) over a wide pH range is still a grand challenge. Triggered by this challenge, we report the ...
Atmospheric turbulence effect on hybrid FSO/RF systems
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This article is focused on the atmospheric turbulence attenuation and their effect on the hybrid free space optical and radio frequency (FSO/RF) under Qatar harsh and dry climate. Analysis has been done by calculating the ...
Using geodesic space density gradients for network community detection
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2017 , Article)
Many real world complex systems naturally map to network data structures instead of geometric spaces because the only available information is the presence or absence of a link between two entities in the system. To enable ...
Long-term performance analysis and power prediction of PV technology in the State of Qatar
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
?Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy in GCC?- the term seems convincing to many solar PV industries due to high solar exposure in GCC region. However, long-term effects such as dust accumulation and seasonal variation are major ...
Linear stability analysis of finite length journal bearings in laminar and turbulent regimes
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Dynamic coefficients of a finite length journal bearing are numerically calculated under laminar and turbulent regimes based on Ng-Pan-Elrod and Constantinescu models. Linear stability charts of a flexible rotor supported ...
