Influence of blending and blend morphology on the thermal properties and crystallization behaviour of PLA and PCL in PLA/PCL blends
(
Springer
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we reported on the influence of PCL on the cold crystallization behaviour of PLA in different PLA/PCL blends, and on the influence of blending with PLA on the PCL crystallization behaviour and kinetics. The ...
Associated effects of storage and mechanical pre-treatments of microalgae biomass on biomethane yields in anaerobic digestion
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
The pre-treatment of microalgae cell walls is known to be a key factor to enhance methane (CH4) yields during anaerobic digestion. This study investigated the combined effects of two different biomass storage methods and ...
Macrobenthos in the central Arabian Gulf: a reflection of climate extremes and variability
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
The arid subtropical ecosystem of the central Arabian Gulf was used to explore the combined effects of low primary productivity, high salinities, and variable temperatures on the composition and structure of benthic ...
Fabrication & Characterization of 3D Electrospun Biodegradable Nanofibers for Wound Dressing, Drug Delivery and Other Tissue Engineering Applications
(
Bentham Science
, 2016 , Article)
Background: The use of electrospinning technology (ET) in fabrication of threedimensional biodegradable electrospun nanofibers scaffolds (BENS) has recently gained considerable attention in tissue engineering. BENS are ...
Reasoning about Policies in Security-Aware Service Discovery Using Answer Set Programming
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In order to enable a secure interaction between dynamically discovered software services and the client's application in a cooperative information system such as service oriented system, one of the pre-requisites is the ...
Effects of microstructures on hydrogen induced cracking of electrochemically hydrogenated double notched tensile sample of 4340 steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Quantitative fractographic characteristics of 4340 steel is demonstrated for a grain size range of 10-100 ?m and hardness range of 41-52 HRC. Double-notched tensile samples were electrochemically charged in-situ with ...
Thermodynamic investigation of hydrogen enrichment and carbon suppression using chemical additives in ethanol dry reforming
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, a thermodynamic equilibrium analysis has been performed on ethanol dry reforming in presence of commonly used reducing agents such as glycine, hydrazine, urea and ammonia. The effect of these agents on ...
Time-resolved photocurrent spectroscopic diagnostics of electrically active defects in AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) structure grown on Si wafers
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
Time-resolved photocurrent (TRPC) spectroscopy with a variable-wavelength sub-bandgap light excitation was used to study the dynamics of the decaying photocurrent generated in the heterostructures of the AlGaN/GaN high ...
Surface functionalization of natural lignin isolated from: Aloe barbadensis Miller biomass by atom transfer radical polymerization for enhanced anticancer efficacy
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Lignin (LIG), one of the major natural polymers in the biomass is widely used for various industrial and biomedical applications, mainly in its modified form of grafted lignin. The present study focuses on the isolation ...
Hybrid coagulation-NF membrane process for brackish water treatment: Effect of antiscalant on water characteristics and membrane fouling
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Antiscalants have been used to inhibit the formation of scales and reduce the risk of membrane scaling. However, issues such as the increased of biofouling tendency and contradictory observations of organic fouling propensity ...
