Enhancement of gemcitabine against pancreatic cancer by loading in mesoporous silica vesicles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Gemcitabine (Gem) is currently the first-line chemotherapeutic drug in management of pancreatic cancer, however the therapeutic efficacy of Gem is limited due to its short half-life and poor cell membrane permeability. ...
Adaptable scheduling of smart building communities with thermal mapping and demand flexibility
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This paper proposes a novel hierarchical optimization framework that couples the balancing problem of a community network with building energy management (BEM) to form an integrated model capable of capturing potential ...
Bimetallic palladium-supported halloysite nanotubes for low temperature CO oxidation: Experimental and DFT insights
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The design and fabrication of novel metal-supported catalysts for energy conversion and heterogeneous catalysis is a pivotal theme. Herein, we present the synthesis of bimetallic palladium nanoalloys supported on halloysite ...
Lexical retrieval after Arabic aphasia: Syntactic access and predictors of spoken naming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Research into anomia has been carried out in English and many Indo-European languages extensively, but not in Arabic. Previous studies have investigated predictors of successful lexical retrieval after anomia, and access ...
Volatility transmission across currencies and commodities with US uncertainty measures
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper uses the Multi-chain Markov Switching model (MCMS) conditioned on US uncertainty measures (VIX, VIX-oil and FSI) to examine the patterns of volatility transmission across the resource, major and safe haven ...
Transition metal nanoparticles doped carbon paper as a cost-effective anode in a microbial fuel cell powered by pure and mixed biocatalyst cultures
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The poor wettability and high cost of the carbonaceous electrodes materials prohibited the practical applications of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) on large scale. Here, a novel nanoparticles of metal sheathed with metal oxide ...
Rational synthesis of ternary PtIrNi nanocrystals with enhanced poisoning tolerance for electrochemical ethanol oxidation
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The development of highly efficient and durable anode materials for ethanol electro-oxidation remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of Pt1−x−yIrxNiy nanocrystals via one-step procedure by ultrasonic-assisted ...
Magnetic mesoporous nanospheres anchored with LyP-1 as an efficient pancreatic cancer probe
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Immobilization of a ligand that selectively interacts with cancer cells to nanomaterials can enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency. In this study, we firstly demonstrate the high expression of receptor for ...
Surfactant-templating strategy for ultrathin mesoporous TiO2 coating on flexible graphitized carbon supports for high-performance lithium-ion battery
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The electrochemical performance of nanocomposites could greatly be improved by rationally designing flexible core-shell heterostructures. Typically, the uniform coating of a thin mesoporous crystalline transition metal ...
Tailoring the efficiency of an active catalyst for CO abatement through oxidation reaction: The case study of samarium-doped ceria
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, for the first time we tailored organic chemistry traditional synthesis tools towards preparation of CexSm1-xO2 (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1) fluorite-type mixed oxides which are used for CO abatement. In ...
