A graphene-based glycan biosensor for electrochemical label-free detection of a tumor-associated antibody
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The study describes development of a glycan biosensor for detection of a tumor-associated antibody. The glycan biosensor is built on an electrochemically activated/oxidized graphene screen-printed electrode (GSPE). Oxygen ...
Enhancing the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel under aggressive operational conditions using behentrimonium chloride
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Aggressive operational conditions e.g. saline media and acidic gases, e.g., CO2 can increase the corrosion rate of reinforcing steel. Accordingly, the necessity to protect the steel under the above conditions without ...
Evaluation of the source rock potential of the Unyazah Formation (late Carboniferous-Early Permian) in Dukhan Field, Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2019 , Article)
Twenty samples were collected from the Unayzah Formation in three wells from Dukhan Field, Qatar. Many samples were of poor quality due to the low TOC content containing gas prone-kerogen type III and IV. The Rock-Eval ...
Assessment of the algae-based biofertilizer influence on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivation
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the main fruit crop found in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. It naturally adapts to the adverse environments of extreme heat and water scarcity and prevents further ...
Reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide in aqueous blends of N-methyldiethanolamine and L-arginine using the stopped-flow technique
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Reduction of carbon dioxide emission from natural and industrial flue gases is paramount to help mitigate its effect on global warming. Efforts are continuously deployed worldwide to develop efficient technologies for CO ...
Catalytic Degradation of 4-Ethylpyridine in Water by Heterogeneous Photo-Fenton Process
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, the degradation of 4-ethylpyridine (4EP) in water by a heterogeneous photo-Fenton process (H2O2/Fe3O4/ultraviolet irradiation (UV)) was investigated. More rapid and effective 4EP degradation was obtained with ...
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 ...
Corrosion behavior of electrodeposited Ni-B coatings modified with SiO2 particles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2017 , Article)
The need for coatings with improved operation is vital to insure safety and high output of industrial plants. Electrodeposition is a valuable surface modification technology that can be used to develop various kinds of ...
Contribution of the Zubair source rocks to the generation and expulsion of oil to the reservoirs of the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2019 , Article)
The huge quantities of oil and gas reserved in the fields of southern Iraq must be matched by enough source rocks that can generate and expel equivalent amounts of hydrocarbons. This study is an attempt to evaluate the ...
