Concentration, composition and sources of PAHs in the coastal sediments of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Qatar, Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Surface sediments were collected from sixteen locations in order to assess levels and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments of Qatar exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Samples were analyzed for 16 ...
Phase change materials based on high-density polyethylene filled with microencapsulated paraffin wax
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
A modified in situ polymerization microencapsulation procedure for the preparation of microcapsules with paraffin wax cores (43 wt.%) and melamine–formaldehyde resin shells having a uniform size distribution and a spherical ...
Photoconductive response of strained silicon nanowires: A Monte Carlo study
(
AIP Publishing LLC.
, 2014 , Article)
Using Ensemble Monte Carlo simulations, the photocurrent in a 500 nm long strained [110] silicon nanowire with diameter of 3.1 nm is investigated. It was observed that a phototransistor based on this nanowire can have ...
Dispersion of soft Bi particles and grain refinement of matrix in an Al-Bi alloy by equal channel angular pressing
(
Elsevier BV
, 2014 , Article)
The deformation behavior of a soft particle containing Al-8Bi hypermonotectic alloy during equal-channel angular pressing was studied. The size, shape and distribution of soft Bi particles are substantially modified via ...
Optimization of selection of chain amine scrubbers for CO2 capture
(
Springer Verlag
, 2014 , Article)
In order to optimize the selection of a suitable amine molecule for CO2 scrubbers, a series of ab initio calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. Diethylenetriamine was used as a simple chain ...
Surface Behavior of Polyamide 6 Modified by Barrier Plasma in Oxygen and Nitrogen
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
Polyamide (PA) 6 was modified by diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) plasma in an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen. The surface roughness decrease of PA 6 was detected by AFM and nano-indentation after ...
Parallelizing exact motif finding algorithms on multi-core
(
Springer Science+Business Media
, 2014 , Article)
The motif finding problem is one of the important and challenging problems in bioinformatics. A variety of sequential algorithms have been proposed to find exact motifs, but the running time is still not suitable due to ...

(2014 , Article)
The American “shale revolution”1
has been an economic blessing
in a troubled time,2
a blessing the EU (“European Union”) has largely not
enjoyed.3
It may prove, however, to have been a double-edged sword. If
the ...

Nationally representative surveys administered in the Middle East and North Africa
typically are conducted using methodological techniques developed from outside the
region. Sometimes these best practices require ...
Mechanism of GaAs surface sulfidation
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2014 , Article)
The mechanism of GaAs sulfidation under illumination and potentiodynamic polarization was investigated in acidified thiourea (TU) electrolytes. Sulfidation generated smooth surfaces, as revealed by scanning electron ...
