The role of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-1B in cardiovascular disease and its interplay with insulin resistance
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
Endothelial dysfunction is a key feature of cardiovascular disorders associated with obesity and diabetes. Several studies identified protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-1B, a member of the PTP superfamily, as a major ...
Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Nitrogen Gases onto ZIF Compounds with Zinc, Cobalt, and Zinc/Cobalt Metal Centers
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
ZIF-8, Co-ZIF-8, and Zn/Co-ZIF-8 are utilized in adsorbing nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2) gases at temperatures between 25 and 55 C and pressures up to 1 MPa. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms and ...
Mitigation of voltage imbalance in power distribution system using MPC-controlled packed-U-cells converter
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Delivering high power quality in single-phase distribution has witnessed more challenges especially with the increased penetration of single-phase distributed generation (DG). This paper proposes a smart solid-state-based ...
Recycling of Date Pits Into a Green Adsorbent for Removal of Heavy Metals: A Fractional Factorial Design-Based Approach
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2019 , Article)
Date pits (DPs) have been recycled into a low-cost adsorbent for removing of selected heavy metals (HMs) from artificially contaminated aqueous solutions. Adsorption of targeted HMs, both by raw date pits (RDP) and burnt ...
Enhancing the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel under aggressive operational conditions using behentrimonium chloride
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Aggressive operational conditions e.g. saline media and acidic gases, e.g., CO2 can increase the corrosion rate of reinforcing steel. Accordingly, the necessity to protect the steel under the above conditions without ...
Exploring the gaps between education and pharmacy practice on antimicrobial stewardship: a qualitative study among pharmacists in Qatar.
(
Taylor & Francis Group
, 2019 , Article)
Antimicrobial resistance is a public health issue and is the focus of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) teams within health care institutions. However, AMS is not comprehensively and fully taught in medical or pharmacy ...
Electrochemical and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigations of conductive polymers
(
Springer Nature
, 2019 , Article)
We report the synthesis of high soluble poly(aniline-co-o-hydroxyaniline) copolymers with varying the amount of o-hydroxyaniline (20, 40, 60, and 80 %) and referred as PA-co-o-HA20, PA-co-o-HA40, PA-co-o-HA60, and PA-co-o-HA80 ...
SAR and molecular mechanism studies of monoamine oxidase inhibition by selected chalcone analogs
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The present study describes the synthesis of a series of 22 chalcone analogs. These compounds were evaluated as potential human MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitors. The compounds showed varied selectivity against the two isoforms. ...
