Phyllosilicate nanoclay-based aqueous nanoparticle sorbent for CO2 capture at ambient conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
We report a new and effective aqueous sorbent for CO2 capture at ambient conditions based on aminopropyl magnesium phyllosilicate nanoparticles (aminoclay). Combining the advantages of both liquid and solid amine sorbents, ...
Heavy metal removal from aqueous solution by advanced carbon nanotubes: Critical review of adsorption applications
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
The scarcity of water, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world is exerting great pressure on resources and establishing more need to provide good quality water for human and other consumptions. Water ...
Nonenzymatic nitrogen-doped carbon nanofber-supported NiOx glucose sensor
(
M Y U Scientific Publishing Division
, 2017 , Article)
The glucose electrooxidation reaction at NiOx nanoparticles loaded on a nitrogen-doped carbon nanofber (N-CNF)-modifed glassy carbon electrode (NiOx@N-CNF/GCE) in an alkaline medium was studied. The N-CNF was produced by ...
Microplastics in coastal environments of the Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Eight sandy beaches along the coastline of Qatar and four sea surface stations on the eastern coast, adjacent to Doha Bay, were surveyed between December 2014 and March 2015. Microplastics, mainly low density polyethylene ...
The Effects of Religiosity and Social Capital on Civic Engagement in Qatar
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Few studies have examined the role of religiosity and social capital on civic engagement in the context of a Muslim country. In this paper, we explore the impact of religiosity and social capital on charitable donations ...
Thermal characterization of phase change materials based on linear low-density polyethylene, paraffin wax and expanded graphite
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Thermal characterization of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) and expanded graphite (EG) is reported in this paper. Investigated PCMs showed high potential for ...
On secure communication over the Z-Channel
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The discrete memoryless Z-Channel (DM-ZC) with a confidential cross-message is considered. Three messages are transmitted; encoder 1 transmits one message to be decoded by decoder 1. Encoder 2 transmits two messages, the ...
Surface plasmon inhibited photo-luminescence activation in CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
In a composite film of Cdx Sey Zn1-x S1-y gradient core-shell quantum dots (QDs) and gold nanorods (NRs), the optical properties of the QDs are drastically affected by the plasmonic nanoparticles. We provide a careful study ...
ECG encryption and identification based security solution on the Zynq SoC for connected health systems
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Connected health is a technology that associates medical devices, security devices and communication technologies. It enables patients to be monitored and treated remotely from their home. Patients' data and medical records ...
Investigation of the hydrogen adsorbed density inside the pores of MOF-5 from path integral grand canonical Monte Carlo at supercritical and subcritical temperature
(
Science in China Press
, 2016 , Article)
We examine the high density limit of the adsorption isotherms of hydrogen on MOF-5. The isotherms are calculated using quantum GCMC simulations over the pressure range: 0–150 atm (1 atm = 1.01325 × 105 Pa) in the subcritical ...
