A theoretical study of gas adsorption on α-quartz (0 0 1) for CO2 enhanced natural gas recovery
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The adsorption of gas molecules (CO2, CH4, H2O, H2S and N2) on the “dense” (0 0 1) surface of α-quartz has been investigated by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the molecular characterization of Enhanced Gas ...

(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
The aim of the present study is to investigate the structural, wear and thermal behaviour of Cu–Al2O3–graphite hybrid metal matrix composites. Copper matrix composites with Al2O3–graphite reinforcement (0.5-0.5, 1.0-1.0, ...
The maxima in northerly wind speeds and wave heights over the Arabian Sea, the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Red Sea derived from 40 years of ERA5 data
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Recent studies point out the importance of northerly winds and waves in the Arabian Sea, especially those due to shamal and makran events in addition to the northeast monsoon system. We have analyzed climatology and trends ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Production of methyl ester from sunflower and soybean oil mixture is performed throughout a catalyzed transesterification procedure. The significance of the four reaction parameters such as methanol to oil ratio, catalyst ...
Food web structure of three Mediterranean stream reaches along a gradient of anthropogenic impact
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Anthropogenic impact can alter food web structure through changes in species interactions. In this study, we explored the food web of three Mediterranean stream reaches (two seasonal and one permanent) along an anthropogenic ...
