Free Zones in the United Arab Emirates: Domestic and International Tax Issues
(
Kluwer Law International
, 2015 , Article)
Free Zones in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) offer an abundance of tax and economic advantages for companies wishing to incorporate in the UAE and develop their business with a high degree of flexibility. However, the ...
Electrocoalescence of water drop trains in oil under constant and pulsatile electric fields
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2015 , Article)
This study addresses the effectiveness of constant and pulsed DC fields in promoting coalescence of dispersed water drops in an oil-continuous phase. For this purpose, a train of drops of relatively uniform size is injected ...
Acutodesmus obliquus as a benchmark strain for evaluating methane production from microalgae: Influence of different storage and pretreatment methods on biogas yield
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Acutodesmus obliquus (SAG 276-1), a microalga with a resistant cell wall, was chosen as a benchmark strain for testing the effect of storage and pretreatment methods on methane yields during anaerobic digestion. A. obliquus ...
Thermal properties of phase-change materials based on high-density polyethylene filled with micro-encapsulated paraffin wax for thermal energy storage
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Microcapsules consisting of paraffin wax cores with a melting point of approximately 42 °C and a melamine-formaldehyde resin shell were synthesized using in situ polymerization. These microcapsules have a uniform distribution ...
Remarkable improvement in properties of NI-B coatings by the addition of mixed oxide nanoparticles
(
Association for Iron and Steel Technology, AISTECH
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
A comparison of properties of Ni-B and Ni-B-ZrO2-Al2O3 nanocomposite coatings synthesized through electrodeposition process is presented to elucidate the beneficial role of addition of mixed nanoparticles of ZrO2 and Al2O3 ...
Highly ordered nanoporous carbon films with tunable pore diameters and their excellent sensing properties
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2015 , Article)
Ordered porous carbon films with tunable pore diameters, immobilized with glucose oxidase (GOD) have been fabricated and employed for the construction of a biosensor for glucose molecules. The as-prepared porous films have ...

(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Paillier's additive homomorphic encryption is increasingly used in recent research in the field of cloud secure outsourcing and privacy-preserving computation in addition to other cryptographic tools such as garbled circuits. ...
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed PLA/PHBV biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler.
(
Wiley
, 2015 , Article)
The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) blends and nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. PLA/PHBV at 50/50 ...
A comparison of the redox properties of vanadia-based mixed oxides
(
American Chemical Society (ACS)
, 2015 , Article)
The thermodynamics of oxidation and reduction were investigated for a series of vanadium-containing oxides, including CeVO4, LaVO 4, ZrV2O7, Mg3(VO4) 2, CrVO4, AlVO4, and V2O 5, in the temperature range between 873 and 973 ...
Improved electrical conductivity of carbon/polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers
(
