Engineering and understanding of synergistic effects in the interfaces of rGO-CNTs/PtPd nanocomposite revealed fast electro-oxidation of methanol
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
The developing human societies are being faced provoking energy crises due to higher demands of energy for increasing worldwide populations. The massive depletion of natural resources and global warming issues sound a laud ...
Qatar Biobank and Qatar Genome Programs Road Map
(
OMICS International
, 2015 , Article)
Qatar Biobank “QBB” is a large-scale, long term medical research initiative for the population of Qatar, which will serve as a platform and driver of biomedical research to achieve benefits for Qatar’s communities. Following ...
Melt processing and properties of linear low density polyethylene-graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Composites of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) were processed using a twin screw extruder under different extrusion conditions. The effects of screw speed, feeder speed and GNP ...
Biotechnological production process and life cycle assessment of graphene
(
Hindawi
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this study is to compare the graphene produced using a biotechnological method (Escherichia coli) with the graphene produced by Hummers' method (a chemical method) and to study the effect on the energy consumption ...
Melt processing and characterisation of polyamide 6/graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Graphene, due to its outstanding properties, has become the topic of much research activity in recent years. Much of that work has been on a laboratory scale however, if we are to introduce graphene into real product ...
Processing and characterization of polyethylene-based composites
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
Thermoplastic matrix polymer composites have gained commercial success in the semistructural and structural applications. Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most versatile and widely used thermoplastics in the world because ...
Assessment of calcified aortic valve leaflet deformations and blood flow dynamics using fluid-structure interaction modeling
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Aortic valve diseases are among the most common cardiovascular defects. Since a non-functioning valve results in disturbed blood flow conditions, the diagnosis of such defects is based on identification of stenosis via ...
Metabolic GWAS of elite athletes reveals novel genetically-influenced metabolites associated with athletic performance.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Genetic research of elite athletic performance has been hindered by the complex phenotype and the relatively small effect size of the identified genetic variants. The aims of this study were to identify genetic predisposition ...
A Global Declaration on Appropriate Use of Antimicrobial Agents across the Surgical Pathway
(
Mary Ann Liebert
, 2017 , Article)
This declaration, signed by an interdisciplinary task force of 234 experts from 83 different countries with different backgrounds, highlights the threat posed by antimicrobial resistance and the need for appropriate use ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction.
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (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 ...
