(
Mary Ann Liebert Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
This declaration, signed by an interdisciplinary task force of 234 experts from 83 different countries with different backgrounds, highlights the threat posed by antimicrobial resistance and the need for appropriate use ...
Heart function and hemodynamic analysis for zebrafish embryos
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article Review)
The Zebrafish has emerged to become a powerful vertebrate animal model for cardiovascular research in recent years. Its advantages include easy genetic manipulation, transparency, small size, low cost, and the ability to ...
The Integration of Dynamic Lane Grouping Technique and Signal Timing Optimization for Improving the Mobility of Isolated Intersections
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Spatial variations in traffic demand degrade intersection performance that can result in the waste of time�space resources. Existing control strategies of intersections assume fixed lane for movement assignment regardless ...

(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
As a renewable and promising energy devices, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have attracted a wide range of interest in recent years. The design of electrocatalysts highly influences the performance of DMFCs systems. ...
Synergistic effect of interfacial phenomenon on enhancing catalytic performance of Pd loaded MnO: X-CeO2-C hetero-nanostructure for hydrogenation and electrochemical reactions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Hetero-nanostructures have proven to be impressive materials due to their multi-functionalities in various catalytic applications. Here, the basic focus has been devoted to interface chemistry among different domains in ...
Usage of Non-Linear Regression for Modeling the Behavior of Motor Vehicle Crash Fatality (MVF) Rate
(
IEOM Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Data analysis for vehicular crash counts is essential for transportation and traffic management systems (TTMS) to develop practical and innovative road safety interventions. The crash trend analysis, in particular, is the ...
Enhanced performance of nano-sized SiC reinforced Al metal matrix nanocomposites synthesized through microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, nano-sized SiC (0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were fabricated by microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques. The structural (XRD, SEM), mechanical ...
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 ...
Time-evolving collagen-like structural fibers in soft tissues: biaxial loading and spherical inflation
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
This work considers a previously developed constitutive theory for the time dependent mechanical response of fibrous soft tissue resulting from the time dependent remodeling of a collagen fiber network that is embedded in ...
Evaluation of the current state and perspective of wastewater treatment and reuse in Qatar
(
Desalination Publications
, 2017 , Article)
In Qatar, many freshwater resources have already been depleted due to the overconsumption as a result of the population and economic growth. Moreover, due to the lack of sufficient sewage treatment infrastructure, Qatar ...
