A Novel UAV-Aided Network Architecture Using Wi-Fi Direct
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in future wireless networks is gaining attention due to their quick deployment without requiring the existing infrastructure. Earlier studies on UAV-aided communication consider ...
Development and properties of polymeric nanocomposite coatings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Polymeric-based nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing epoxy matrix with titanium nanotubes (TNTs) loaded with dodecylamine (DOC). The performance of the developed nanocomposite coatings was investigated ...
Association of Urinary Vitamin D-binding Protein and Megalin as Biomarkers for Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Qatari Patients
(
OMICS
, 2019 , Article)
Abstract
Background: Nephropathy is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previous studies
revealed that T2DM patients with nephropathy have higher concentrations of urinary Vitamin D Binding ...
Vascular access types in hemodialysis patients in palestine and factors affecting their distribution: A cross-sectional study
(
Medknow Publications
, 2019 , Article)
The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is increasing considerably worldwide, and most of the patients start their therapy by hemodialysis (HD). Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best type of vascular ...
Entropy analysis and image encryption application based on a new chaotic system crossing a cylinder
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Designing chaotic systems with specific features is a hot topic in nonlinear dynamics. In this study, a novel chaotic system is presented with a unique feature of crossing inside and outside of a cylinder repeatedly. This ...
The electronic origin of the ground state spectral features and excited state deactivation in cycloalkanones: the role of intermolecular H-bonding in neat and binary mixtures of solvents
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, a D-A cycloalkanone (K1) has been investigated by steady state absorption and fluorescence in neat solvents and in three binary mixtures of nonpolar aprotic/polar protic, polar aprotic/polar protic, and polar ...
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ...
