A Switched-Capacitor Submodule for Modular Multilevel HVDC Converters with DC-Fault Blocking Capability and a Reduced Number of Sensors
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) have become one of the most promising topologies for high-voltage dc-ac conversion. DC-side fault blocking capability of the MMC has prompted significant research in recent years. In ...
Impact of GGCX, STX1B and FPGS Polymorphisms on Warfarin Dose Requirements in European-Americans and Egyptians
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Genotype-based algorithms that include VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genotypes are less predictive of warfarin dose variability in Africans as opposed to Europeans. Polymorphisms in GGCX, FPGS, or STX1B are associated with warfarin ...

(
Springer-Verlag London Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this research work, an ultrasonic assisted drilling system is employed to apply both rotation and vibration to drill bits. The transducer horn transfers power very efficiently and changes tools effortlessly. The setup ...
5-, 12- and 15-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids induce cellular hypertrophy in the human ventricular cardiomyocyte, RL-14 cell line, through MAPK- and NF-κB-dependent mechanism
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Recent studies have established the role of mid-chain hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) in the development of cardiovascular disease. Mid-chain HETEs have been reported to have vasoconstrictive and pro-inflammatory ...
Projection of Significant Wave Height in a Coastal Area under RCPs Climate Change Scenarios
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
This article provides multimodel and multiscenario projections of significant wave height for the Qatar coast. Significant wave height is used for practical purposes such as offshore and coastal structure design as well ...

In this study, an investigation on the level of recognition of lean concepts, principles, tools, and techniques in different industrial sectors in Qatar was carried out. The general aim of the study was to determine lean ...
Removal of crystal violet from wastewater using resorcinol-formaldehyde carbon xerogels
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Resorcinol-formaldehyde activated carbon xerogels (RF-ACXs) were prepared at different conditions. RF-ACXs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, surface area and porosity analyzer, X-rays diffraction, ...
Ordered Macro/Mesoporous TiO2 Hollow Microspheres with Highly Crystalline Thin Shells for High-Efficiency Photoconversion
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag

Well ordered, uniform 3D open macro/mesoporous TiO2 hollow microspheres with highly crystalline anatase thin shells have been successfully synthesized by a simple solvent evaporation-driven confined self-assembly method. ...
Bio-informatic analysis of a vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter (AlaNHX) from the salt resistant grass Aeluropus lagopoides
(
Pakistan Botanical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Sodium-hydrogen antiporter (NHX) protein regulates the trans-membrane transport of Na+ in higher plants. Vacuolar- NHX is a type of NHX protein located on tonoplast and minimizes the accumulation of Na+ in cytoplasm by ...
