Properties of a three-dimensionally ordered macro-mesoporous carbon-doped TiO2 composite catalyst
(
World Scientific Publishing
, 2013 , Article)
This study aimed to develop an effective, environmentally benign composite catalyst composed of carbon materials and titanium dioxide (TiO2). Carbon-doped titanium dioxide (C-TiO2) was prepared by coating TiO2 onto ...
Instantaneous Frequency Estimation of Multi-component Non-Stationary Signals using Multi-view Time-Frequency Distributions Based on the Adaptive Fractional Spectrogram
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
This letter presents a novel algorithm to compute the instantaneous frequency (IF) of a multicomponent nonstationary signal using a combination of fractional spectrograms (FS). A high resolution time frequency distribution ...
Wavelet Denoising Based on the MAP Estimation Using the BKF Prior With Application to Images and EEG Signals
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
This paper presents a novel nonparametric Bayesian estimator for signal and image denoising in the wavelet domain. This approach uses a prior model of the wavelet coefficients designed to capture the sparseness of the ...
Relay selection in underlay cognitive networks with fixed transmission power nodes
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
Underlay cognitive networks operate simultaneously with primary networks satisfying stringent interference constraints, which reduces their transmission power and coverage area. To reach remote destinations, secondary ...
A Model-driven Approach to the development of a PBL Script Editor
(
Global Chinese Conference on Computers in Education (GCCCE)
, 2013 , Article)
Designing a pedagogically sound and technically executable collaboration script is a highly complex,
time-consuming and error-prone task. This paper presents a model-driven approach to enable practitioners to design
online ...
Conditions for student-centered teaching and learning in Qatari elementary math and science classrooms: Relationship between classroom processes and achievement of curriculum standards
(
Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals
, 2013 , Article)
Qatar K-12 school reform emphasizes student-centered classrooms where students actively engage in
enquiry and use their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Classrooms characterized by these
elements should ...
Effect of rat serum lipoproteins on mRNA levels and amiodarone metabolism by cultured primary rat hepatocytes
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2013 , Article)
Hyperlipidemia can significantly increase amiodarone (AM) in vivo liver uptake and decrease its velocity of microsomal metabolism. Here, hepatocytes isolated from normolipidemic (NL) and hyperlipidemic rats were incubated ...
Protective effects of ethyl acetate fraction of Lawsonia inermis fruits extract against carbon tetrachloride-induced oxidative damage in rat liver
(
SAGE Publications
, 2013 , Article)
This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant properties of different fractions obtained from the fruits of Lawsonia inermis, a widely used medicinal plant, against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced oxidative stress ...
Matching Face Images Taken on the Same Day or Months Apart: the Limitations of Photo ID
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
It is well-established that matching images of unfamiliar faces is rather error prone. However, there is an important mismatch between face matching in laboratory and realistic settings. All of the currently available ...
Enzymatic treatment of peanut butter to reduce the concentration of major peanut allergens
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
This study investigated the effects of enzymatic treatment of peanut butter on two-major peanut allergens (Ara h 1 and Ara h 2). Home-made and commercial peanut butter samples were treated with alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin ...
