Flow mapping of multiphase flows using a novel single stem endoscopic particle image velocimetry instrument
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a successful flow mapping technique which can optically quantify large portions of a flow regime. This enables the method to be completely non-intrusive. The ability to be non-intrusive ...
Who needs RDD? Combining directory listings with cell phone exchanges for an alternative telephone sampling frame
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Abstract
The traditional Random Digit Dialing method (list-assisted RDD using a frame of landline phone numbers) is clearly under threat. The difficulty and costs of completing telephone surveys have increased due to ...
Mangrove-bearing limestone from the Eocene Dammam Formation, Arabian Gulf: Implications for the mangrove dispersal controversy
(
springer link
, 2012 , Article)
Fossil mangrove remains are found within the shallow carbonate strata of the Middle Eocene Dammam Formation of the Arabian Gulf. This formation is of wide distribution across most eastern parts of the Arabian Platform and ...
Effect of halloysite nanotubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(lactic acid) microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
Microbial dolomites from carbonate-evaporite sediments of the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi and their exploration implications
(
wiley online library
, 2010 , Article)
Detailed petrographic studies of Recent dolomites from the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi using SEM and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses indicate that most of the dolomite started to form in " micro-niches" (i.e. small ...
A household-level decomposition of the white–black homeownership gap
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
This paper uses a semiparametric homeownership model to estimate and to decompose the household-level
white–black homeownership gap into an endowment component and a residual component across the
distribution of homeownership ...
Physico-chemical characteristics of oil produced from seeds of some date palm cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.) .
(2015 , Article)
The oil content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with some physico-chemical properties and nutrients were investigated in oil produced from seeds of six important date palm cultivars and one seed strain present in ...
Flexible NO2 sensors from renewable cellulose nanocrystals/iron oxide composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
A bio-friendly nanostructured cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) sheet with iron oxide grown on it acting as a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensor was fabricated by hydrothermal method. The structural investigation was done to ...
Effect of PEG functionalized carbon nanotubes on the enhancement of thermal and physical properties of nanofluids
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, pristine carbon nanotubes and polyethylene glycol functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT-PEG) have been used to enhance the heat capacity, viscosity, thermal conductivity, heat transfer rate and pressure drop ...
Compositional engineering of VOPcPhO-TiO2 nano-composite to reduce the absolute threshold value of humidity sensors
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This research work demonstrates compositional engineering of an organic-inorganic hybrid nano-composites for modifying absolute threshold of humidity sensors. Vanadyl-2,9,16,23-tetraphenoxy-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (VOPcPhO), ...
