Graphene oxide reinforced polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene glycol blend composites as high-performance dielectric material
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
Novel flexible dielectric composites composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and graphene oxide (GO) with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss have been developed using facile and ...
Vaccine-Induced Antibodies that Neutralize Group 1 and Group 2 Influenza A Viruses
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Antibodies capable of neutralizing divergent influenza A viruses could form the basis of a universal vaccine. Here, from subjects enrolled in an H5N1 DNA/MIV-prime-boost influenza vaccine trial, we sorted hemagglutinin ...
Preparation and characterization of urea-formaldehyde microcapsules filled with paraffin oil
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Paraffin oil was encapsulated in a urea–formaldehyde polymer shell by in situ polymerization. The effect of modifying the fabrication parameters, specifically the emulsifier, the core material concentration, the stirring ...

(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2016 , Article)
Immigration in the Arabian Gulf is governed by the kafāla (sponsorship) system,
which provides the legal basis for the residency and employment of foreign workers across
the region. Despite mounting economic, political ...
Microtron Irradiation Induced Tuning of Band Gap and Photoresponse of Al-ZnO Thin Films Synthesized by mSILAR
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Al-doped polycrystalline nano ZnO (Al-ZnO) thin films with different doping concentrations were successfully prepared by the microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (mSILAR) technique. The structural ...
Effect of recombinant human erythropoietin and doxorubicin in combination on the proliferation of MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells
(
Spandidos Publications
, 2016 , Article)
Patients with cancer often exhibit signs of anemia as the result of the disease. Thus, cancer chemotherapies often include erythropoietin (EPO) in the regime to improve the survival rate of these patients. The aim of the ...
An efficient instance hiding scheme
(
Association for Computing Machinery
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Delegating computation, which is applicable to many practical contexts such as cloud computing or pay-TV system, concerns the task where a computationally weak client wants to securely compute a very complex function f on ...

(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2016 , Article)
Interest in politics is an important ingredient in the formation of civil society, which
in turn provides the basis for good governance. Existing research has not clarified drivers of
political interest with respect to ...
Privacy preserving computation in cloud using noise-free fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
With the wide adoption of cloud computing paradigm, it is important to develop appropriate techniques to protect client data privacy in the cloud. Encryption is one of the major techniques that could be used to achieve ...
