First Study in Qatar to Reveal High Legionella Count in Cooling Towers
(
Oxford University Press - ASCP
, 2015 , Article)
Legionella is an intracellular bacterium that can cause a severe communityacquired
and nosocomial
pneumonia, known as legionnaire disease (LD). The bacterium thrives in freshwater environments,
including manmade
water ...
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed PLA/PHBV biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 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 ...
CloudFlow: A data-aware programming model for cloud workflow applications on modern HPC systems
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Traditional High-Performance Computing (HPC) based big-data applications are usually constrained by having to move large amount of data to compute facilities for real-time processing purpose. Modern HPC systems, represented ...
Glycoprofiling as a novel tool in serological assays of systemic sclerosis: A comparative study with three bioanalytical methods
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease seriously affecting patient’s quality of life. The heterogeneity of the disease also means that identification and subsequent validation of biomarkers of the disease is ...
Cuprous oxide nanoparticles in epoxy network: Cure reaction, morphology, and thermal stability
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Nanosized cuprous oxide filler particles (nCOP) with octahedral morphology were synthesized through hydrazine reduction method and were used to develop a novel nanocomposites based on epoxy resin. The morphology of epoxy–nCOP ...

Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Most of the reported hydrogen storage materials are either expensive or based on synthetically complicated compounds. Ammonium phosphates ...
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 ...
A YEAST TWO-HYBRID SCREEN REVEALS A STRONG INTERACTION BETWEEN THE LEGIONELLA CHAPERONIN Hsp60 AND THE HOST CELL SMALL HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN Hsp10
(
Akadémiai Kiadó
, 2015 , Article)
L. pneumophila is an intracellular bacterium that replicates inside a membrane-
bound vacuole called Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV), where it plentifully
liberates its HtpB chaperonin. From LCV, HtpB reaches the ...
Demulsification of stable emulsions from produced water using a phase separator with inclined parallel arc coalescing plates
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with a series of inclined multiple arc coalescence plates is developed and optimized for the removal of stable oil emulsions from produced water. The synthetic high ...
Human Olfactory Bulb Neural Stem Cells Expressing hNGF Restore Cognitive Deficit in Alzheimer's Disease Rat Model
(
Wiley
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, we aim to demonstrate the fate of allogenic adult human olfactory bulb neural stem/progenitor cells (OBNSC/NPCs)
transplanted into the rat hippocampus treated with ibotenic acid (IBO), a neurotoxicant ...
