Randomization in small sample surveys with the Halton sequence
(
European Survey Research Association
, 2018 , Article)
Randomization has been widely used in surveys for various purposes such as within household respondent selection, rotation of questions and answer choices, and split sample (or ballot) technique for survey experiments. The ...
Thermal properties of TiO 2 NP/CNT/LDPE hybrid nanocomposite films
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
This work aims to investigate the effect of hybrid filler concentration on the thermal stability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrices. LDPE-based composite films were synthesized by melt mixing, followed by compression ...
Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Microwave Sintered Cu50Ti50 Amorphous Alloy Reinforced Al Metal Matrix Composites
(
Minerals, Metals and Materials Society
, 2018 , Article)
In the present work, Al metal matrix composites reinforced with Cu-based (Cu50Ti50) amorphous alloy particles synthesized by ball milling followed by a microwave sintering process were studied. The amorphous powders of ...
Sensing, Measuring and Modelling the Mechanical Properties of Sandstone
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2018 , Article)
We present a hybrid framework for simulating the strength and dilation characteristics of sandstone. Where possible, the grain-scale properties of sandstone are evaluated experimentally in detail. Also, using photo-stress ...
Polymerization of 3-cyanopropyl (triethoxy) silane: A kinetic study using gas chromatography
(
John Wiley and SonsInc.
, 2018 , Article)
Gas chromatography (GC) was used to study the kinetics of the 3-cyanopropyl triethoxysilane (CTES) polymerization. The reaction is a consecutive complex reaction that depends mainly on the kinetics of the first hydrolyzed ...
Calcium deficiency in hydroxyapatite and its drug delivery applications
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2018 , Article)
In this work, calcium deficient hydroxyapatites (HAPs) [Ca 10 ? x (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ] [where x = 0 ? 0.3] were synthesised by precipitation method and calcined samples were characterised by Fourier transformation infrared ...
Interfacial Phenomenon and Nanostructural Enhancements in Palladium Loaded Lanthanum Hydroxide Nanorods for Heterogeneous Catalytic Applications
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2018 , Article)
Hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions are of great importance for industrial applications and noble metal based catalysts are filling the void since the last few decades. However, the high cost of noble metals and ...
Vapor sensing performances of PVDF nanocomposites containing titanium dioxide nanotubes decorated multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Inorganic nanocarbon hybrid materials are good alternatives for superior electrochemical performance and specific capacitance to their traditional counterparts. Nanocarbons act as a good template for the growth of metal ...
Regulation reform process and perception in the Palestinian water sector
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2018 , Article)
The study analyzes the regulation reform process of the Palestinian urban water sector. It introduces the holistic reform agenda and examines the water supply sector’s performance and regulation challenges. The study also ...
Ecological modernization and responses for a low-carbon future in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2018 , Article)
Low-carbon development is a challenging endeavor for many fossil fuels exporting nations around the world, and is especially important in light of the recent Paris Agreement on climate change. The Gulf Cooperation Council ...
