Sources of primary production supporting food webs in an arid coastal embayment
(
Springer Nature
, 2012 , Article)
Penaeid shrimp can be useful ecological indicators of linkages between shallow tropical coastal habitats, acting as integrators of carbon and nitrogen sources due to their generalist feeding habits and their mobility between ...
Overproduction of the Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3Aa16 toxin and study of its insecticidal activity against the carob moth Ectomyelois ceratoniae
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The vip3Aa16 gene of Bacillus thuringiensis strain BUPM95 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Optimization of Vip3A16 protein expression was conducted using Plackett–Burman design and response surface methodology. ...
Garbled computation in cloud
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
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 ...
Ultra-trace Measurements of 210Pb in natural occurring radioactive materials by ICP-MS
(
Elsevier
, 2010 , Article)
Collision cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CC-ICP-MS) was investigated as a possible alternative to nuclear analytical techniques for the determination of 210Pb. The formation of isobaric and polyatomic ...
Stable and effective super-hydrophilic polysulfone nanofiber mats for oil/water separation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Hydrophobicity of polysulfone is the main constraint facing wide application in the most important field; water treatment, although this polymer shows promising characteristics to be used in different separation technologies. ...
Embedded wearable EEG seizure detection in ambulatory state
(
UK Simulation Society
, 2014 , Article)
This paper describes a classification method is presented using a Fuzzy System to detect the occurrences of Partial Seizures from Epilepsy data, which can be implemented in any embedded system as a wearable detection system. ...
Joint replenishment model for multiple products with substitution
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We extend the classical economic order quantity model to address the joint replenishment of multiple products under substitution. The proposed model optimizes ordering quantities for each product under substitution effects ...
Are mangroves in arid environments isolated systems? Life-history and evidence of dietary contribution from inwelling in a mangrove-resident shrimp species
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf represents one of the more northerly extremes of mangrove distribution in the Indo-Pacific, and is populated only by Avicennia marina, due to its tolerance of high salinity and wide temperature extremes. ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C60-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction
(
MDPI
, 2015 , Article)
Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage ...
Salt water corrosion resistance of electrodeposited Ni-layered silicate nanocomposite coatings from Watts' type solution
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Pure nickel and nickel-montmorillonite (Ni-MMT) composite coatings were produced using pulse current electrodeposition from Watts' type solution. Experimental results show that the codeposition of MMT particles into the ...
