Application of various water soluble polymers in gas hydrate inhibition
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article Review)
Formation of hydrates in gas transmission lines due to high pressures and low temperatures is a serious problem in the oil and gas industry with potential hazards and/or economic losses. Kinetic hydrate inhibitors are water ...
Retinal image enhancement using Laplacian pyramidal multi-scaling
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Early detection of retinal diseases is important to avoid complications and permanent vision loss. In this paper retinal neovascularization and molecular degeneration has been emphasized. Neovascularization is in form of ...

The energy-rich Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan represent a natural object of desire for the geopolitical interests of their ambitious neighbours. Whether perceived as an important component ...
Effect of halloysite nano tubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 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 ...
Drug release kinetics from a drug-eluting stent with asymmetrical coat
(
IMR Press Limited
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this study was to investigate the drug release profiles of biodegradable polymer sirolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stents with asymmetrical coating (BPSES-A or BPPES-A) both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the ...
Review on recent advances in polythiophene based photovoltaic devices
(
