Transcriptome assembly, profiling and differential gene expression analysis of the halophyte Suaeda fruticosa provides insights into salt tolerance
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
Improvement of crop production is needed to feed the growing world population as the amount and quality of agricultural land decreases and soil salinity increases. This has stimulated research on salt tolerance ...
Human olfactory bulb neural stem cells mitigate movement disorders in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.
(
Wiley
, 2015 , Article)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder characterized by the loss of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent stem cells that are capable of differentiating into different ...
Effects of aniline concentrations on the electrical and mechanical properties of polyaniline polyvinyl alcohol blends
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract In this work, we present an exclusive study on the effect of the feeding ratio of the monomer (aniline) on the structural, thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of polyaniline (PANI) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) ...
Prevalence of microplastics in the marine environment of Qatar's exclusive economic zone
(
Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Microplastics are now firmly recognized as a ubiquitous and growing global threat to marine biota, as well as their associated ecology and habitats. The prevalence of microplastics in the marine waters within Qatar’s ...
Influence of the presence of medium-soft paraffin wax on the morphology and properties of iPP/silver nanocomposites
(
Budapest University of Technology
, 2015 , Article)
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of wax, different Ag nanoparticle contents, and different cooling rates from the melt, on the morphology, thermal and electrical conductivity, and dynamic mechanical ...
Effect of surfactant and electron treatment on the electrical and thermal conductivity as well as thermal and mechanical properties of ehylene vinyl acetate/expanded graphite composites
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2015 , Article)
This study presents an investigation of the electrical and thermal conductivities of composites based on an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer matrix and nanostructured expanded graphite (EG). To improve the EG dispersion ...
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blend nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. The nanoparticles were mostly located ...
The effect of expanded graphite on the flammability and thermal conductivity properties of phase change material based on PP/wax blends
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The study reports on the flammability, thermal stability, impact properties and thermal conductivity of shape-stabilized phase change materials based on a soft Fischer–Tropsch paraffin wax blended with polypropylene (PP). ...
