Structural and magnetic studies of La2BMnO6 (B=Ni and Co) nanoparticles prepared by microwave sintering approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Double perovskite La2BMnO6 (B=Ni and Co) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by microwave sintering approach (MWS). The crystal structure properties of LBMO nanoparticles were systematically investigated using X-ray ...
n-InAs based photo-thermo-electrochemical cells for conversion of solar to electrical energy
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This paper presents the photo-thermo-electrochemical (PEC) response of various combinations of the n-type indium arsenide (n-InAs) photo-electrode with different counter electrodes, i.e., Ag, Al, Cu, Pb, Zn and ITO. The ...
Modeling of dual-metal Schottky contacts based silicon micro and nano wire solar cells
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
We study solar cell properties of single silicon wires connected at their ends to two dissimilar metals of different work functions. Effects of wire dimensions, the work functions of the metals, and minority carrier lifetimes ...
Working and living conditions of migrant workers in the GCC
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2016 , Book chapter)
Since Qatar was awarded the hosting of the 2022 World Cup, a great deal of media attention has focused on the conditions of the foreign workers responsible for creating and maintaining the infrastructure of the modern Gulf ...
Changes in the white–black house value distribution gap from 1997 to 2005
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
This paper examines the white–black house value gap across the entire value distribution. Instead of using standard
conditional mean analysis and decomposition methods (via OLS regression), we estimate and decompose
the ...
Biotransformation of carbon dioxide in bioelectrochemical systems: State of the art and future prospects
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization/recycling for the production of chemicals and gaseous/liquid energy-carriers is a way to moderate the rising CO2 in the atmosphere. One of the possible solutions for the CO2 sequestration ...
Overproduction of the Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3Aa16 toxin and study of its insecticidal activity against the carob moth Ectomyelois ceratoniae
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The vip3Aa16 gene of Bacillus thuringiensis strain BUPM95 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Optimization of Vip3A16 protein expression was conducted using Plackett–Burman design and response surface methodology. ...
Garbled computation in cloud
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
With the wide adoption of cloud computing paradigm, it is important to develop appropriate techniques to protect client data privacy in the cloud. Encryption is one of the major techniques that could be used to achieve ...
Experimental prediction of the elastic properties of nanocomposite cementitious materials based on nanoindentation measurements
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This paper provides in depth novel exploration of the local mechanical properties of nanocomposite cement using the nanoindentation technique. The elastic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-reinforced and unreinforced ...
Photoresponse of silicon with asymmetric area contacts
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
We report on high performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photosensors based on asymmetric metal pad areas. The reported devices require a single-step metal deposition, and exhibit large photo response even under ...
