Effect of layered silicates on the thermal stability of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports on an investigation of the influence of the presence of two different clays, Cloisite 15A
and Cloisite 30B, and fibre drawing on the degradation behaviour and kinetics of PCL/PLA composites. It
was ...
Influence of the Ce :YAG amount on structure and optical properties of Ce :YAG-PMMA composites for white LED
(
De Gruyter
, 2016 , Article)
Ce:YAG-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites were prepared by using a melt compounding method, adding several amounts of Ce:YAG in the range 0.1–5wt.%. The optical properties of the obtained composites and of the ...
Electrospun alginate nanofibres impregnated with silver nanoparticles: Preparation, morphology and antibacterial properties
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract Silver nanoparticles are amongst the most valuable nanoparticles with interesting properties, such as a non-toxic nature and high antibacterial efficiency, making them applicable for tissue scaffold, protective ...
Morphology and magnetic properties of the ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films prepared by implantation with Fe6+ ions
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ethylene-co-vinyl acetate/iron nanocomposite films were fabricated by implantation with multiplecharged ions at different fluencies. The films obtained with ion fluency of 1 × 1017cm−2were used forspecific studies. It was ...
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
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 ...
NF-κB Essential MOdulator (NEMO) Is Critical for Thyroid Function
(
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
, 2016 , Article)
The I-κB kinase (IKK) subunit NEMO/IKKγ (NEMO) is an adapter molecule that is critical for canonical activation of NF-κB, a pleiotropic transcription factor controlling immunity, differentiation, cell growth, tumorigenesis ...
Preparation and characterisation of Ce:YAG -polycarbonate composites for white LED
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Ce:YAG-polycarbonate composites were prepared with several amounts of Ce:YAG in the range 0.1–5 wt.% by using melt compounding. The structure and morphology of the composites were investigated by means of X-ray diffractometry ...
Moderate salinity stimulates growth and photosynthesis of Phragmites karka by water relations and tissue specific ion regulation
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The domestication of non-food salt resistant plants could be helpful for biofuel as well as phyto-remediation of salt-affected lands. Limited eco-physiological studies on halophytes are the major bottleneck in developing ...
Hypoxia in the central Arabian Gulf Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during summer season
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract One of the most fascinating and unexpected discoveries during the Qatar University Marine Expeditions to the marine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar in 2000–2001, was the detection of a hypoxic water layer ...
