Advanced antifouling zwitterionic layer based impedimetric HER2 biosensing in human serum: Glycoprofiling as a novel approach for breast cancer diagnostics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
There are two key novel components presented here behind identification of potential novel breast cancer (BCa) diagnostic approach: 1. application of photoimmobilizable zwitterionic hydrogels resisting non-specific protein ...
Seismic detection of a sinkhole using spectral-based analysis
(
Society of Exploration Geophysicists
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Seismic data recorded during a survey in the vicinity of a sinkhole revealed distinct resonances at 70 Hz. Frequency domain data inversion based on exact modeling produced effective elastic parameters for the location over ...
Impact of Surfactant on the Retention of CO2 and Methane in Carbonate Reservoirs
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Enhanced gas recovery methods such as foamed CO2 are recommended for depleted gas reservoirs. Viscoelastic surfactant (VES) is a form of a surfactant used for forming CO2 foam. In this study, the impact of VES on CH4 and ...
Multilayer-MCTDH approach to the energy transfer dynamics in the LH2 antenna complex
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
The multilayer multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree method is used to study the coupled exciton–vibrational dynamics in a high-dimensional nonameric model of the LH2 antenna complex of purple bacteria. The exciton–vibrational ...

About the Book
In today’s global knowledge economy, competition for the best and brightest workers has intensified. Highly skilled workers are an asset to companies, knowledge institutions, cities, and regions as they ...
Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ...
Molecular Modeling Study toward Development of H2S-Free Removal of Iron Sulfide Scale from Oil and Gas Wells
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
A common problem that faces the oil and gas industry is the formation of iron sulfide scale in various stages of production. Recently an effective chemical formulation was proposed to remove all types of iron sulfide scales ...
Empowering users of cloud computing on data confidentiality
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Cloud networking is an integral part of interconnected data centres operated in cloud environment. Cloud users heavily rely on cloud networking to transmit to and receive data from data centres. In this context, we explore ...
Direct electroreduction of indium and tin oxides in molten salts
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Indium is a rare metal. The largest end use for indium is in thinfilm coatings as indium oxide combined with 10 percent tin oxide (ITO). However, indium has recycling rates less than 1%. Indium and tin are especially well ...
Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the
first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in
the ...
