Tailoring optical absorption in silicon nanostructures from UV to visible light: A TDDFT study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The utilization of silicon nanostructures, from quantum dots to nanowires, for photovoltaic applications depends on understanding the effect of their physical structure on their optical absorption properties. In this work, ...
Sources of primary production supporting food webs in an arid coastal embayment
(
Springer Nature
, 2012 , Article)
Penaeid shrimp can be useful ecological indicators of linkages between shallow tropical coastal habitats, acting as integrators of carbon and nitrogen sources due to their generalist feeding habits and their mobility between ...
Clay-Polymer Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Book)
Clay-Polymer Nanocomposites is a complete summary of the existing knowledge on this topic, from the basic concepts of synthesis and design to their applications in timely topics such as high-performance composites, ...
Surface modification of low-density polyethylene with poly(2-ethyl-2- oxazoline) using a low-pressure plasma treatment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a suitable polymer for biomedical applications due to its good physiochemical properties, but its insufficient biocompatibility is often an issue. Therefore, biocompatible substances such ...
Flow mapping of multiphase flows using a novel single stem endoscopic particle image velocimetry instrument
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a successful flow mapping technique which can optically quantify large portions of a flow regime. This enables the method to be completely non-intrusive. The ability to be non-intrusive ...
Who needs RDD? Combining directory listings with cell phone exchanges for an alternative telephone sampling frame
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Abstract
The traditional Random Digit Dialing method (list-assisted RDD using a frame of landline phone numbers) is clearly under threat. The difficulty and costs of completing telephone surveys have increased due to ...
Mangrove-bearing limestone from the Eocene Dammam Formation, Arabian Gulf: Implications for the mangrove dispersal controversy
(
springer link
, 2012 , Article)
Fossil mangrove remains are found within the shallow carbonate strata of the Middle Eocene Dammam Formation of the Arabian Gulf. This formation is of wide distribution across most eastern parts of the Arabian Platform and ...
Effect of halloysite nanotubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(lactic acid) microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 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 ...
Microbial dolomites from carbonate-evaporite sediments of the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi and their exploration implications
(
wiley online library
, 2010 , Article)
Detailed petrographic studies of Recent dolomites from the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi using SEM and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses indicate that most of the dolomite started to form in " micro-niches" (i.e. small ...
A household-level decomposition of the white–black homeownership gap
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
This paper uses a semiparametric homeownership model to estimate and to decompose the household-level
white–black homeownership gap into an endowment component and a residual component across the
distribution of homeownership ...
