An exact algorithm for the single machine problem with unavailability periods
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
We investigate the single machine scheduling problem with job release dates and due dates, and multiple planned unavailability time periods. This problem arises in the context of machine scheduling with planned preventive ...
Albumin binding, antioxidant and antibacterial effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, the interaction of CeO2 NPs with HSA was explored by fluorescence, CD, UV–vis and molecular docking studies. Afterwards, the antioxidant activity of CeO2 NPs against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in BM-MSCs were ...
Influence of CuO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets on the sensing behaviour of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites for the detection of ethanol and propanol vapors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/copper oxide/graphene nanoplatelets (PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls) nanocomposite based chemiresistive alcohol sensors were fabricated using colloidal blending method. The PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls nanocomposite films were ...
Oleic acid-grafted chitosan/graphene oxide composite coating for corrosion protection of carbon steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
An anticorrosion coating film based on the formation of nanocomposite coating is reported in this study. The composite consisted of chitosan (green matrix), oleic acid, and graphene oxide (nano filler). The nanocomposite ...
Comparison of 1D and 3D heat and mass transfer models of a counter flow dew point evaporative cooling system: Numerical and experimental studyÉtude comparative numérique et expérimentale de modèles de transfert de chaleur et de masse 1D et 3D d’un système de refroidissement évaporatif à point de rosée à contre-courant
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the performance of a counter flow dew point evaporative cooling system has been examined, numerically and experimentally. A one-dimensional (1D) model of the heat and mass transfer in the cooling system is ...
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) Nanoparticles Loaded with Callistemon citrinus Phenolics Exhibited Anticancer Properties against Three Breast Cancer Cell Lines
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Fruit and vegetable diets rich in phenolic compounds reduce the risk of various cancers and offer multiple other health benefits due to their bioactivity and powerful antioxidant properties. However, the human health ...
Minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine flowshop problem with time delays
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
This article proposes to solve the problem of minimizing the total completion time in a two-machine permutation flowshop environment in which time delays between the machines are considered. For this purpose, an enumeration ...
Fumed SiO2 nanoparticle reinforced biopolymer blend nanocomposites with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss for flexible organic electronics
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, fumed silica (SiO2) nanoparticle reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) blend nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple solution‐blending technique. Fourier transform ...
Constant and Random Full Backup Models with Incremental and Differential Backup Schemes
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
It has been commonly known in a Database Management System that constant plans of incremental/differential backup schemes are set up and their full backups should be done to balance the costs of data backup and failure ...
Parcel delivery by vehicle and drone
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
We investigate a single-vehicle parcel delivery problem in which customers may be served either by the vehicle or by a portable companion drone launched from the vehicle. The problem may be viewed as a Traveling Salesman ...
