Effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) on the sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride-based resistive humidity sensors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
We have investigated the effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) on the thermal stability, hydrophilicity, and sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films based resistive humidity sensors. The blended ...
Electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) based impedance spectroscopy analysis of HTM free perovskite solar cells
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Monolithic perovskite solar cells (mPSCs) are the multi-layered organic-inorganic hybrid cells that have been focused due to the affordable cost, ease of fabrication, and noteworthy power conversion efficiency (PCE). In ...
Design, synthesis, and validation of novel nitrogen-based chalcone analogs against triple negative breast cancer
(
Elsevier Masson s.r.l.
, 2020 , Article)
Great strides have been made in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatment, which represents 20% of total predicted annual US breast cancer (BC) cases. Despite the development of several therapeutics, TNBC patients ...
Novel polymethoxylated chalcones as potential compounds against kras-mutant colorectal cancers
(
Bentham Science Publishers
, 2020 , Article)
Background/Objective: KRAS-mutant colorectal cancers (CRC) are tumors that are associated with poor prognosis. However, no effective treatments are available to target them. Therefore, we designed and synthesized novel ...
Elaeagnus angustifolia Plant Extract Inhibits Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Induces Apoptosis via HER2 Inactivation and JNK Pathway in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Elaeagnus angustifolia (EA) is a medicinal plant used for treating several human diseases in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the outcome of extract on HER2-positive breast cancer remains nascent. Thus, we herein investigated ...
Nature-inspired cellular structure design for electric vehicle battery compartment: Application to crashworthiness
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
This paper discusses the potential of using lightweight nature-inspired cellular structured designs as energy absorbers in crashworthiness applications for electric vehicles (EV). As EVs are becoming popular with their ...
Study of mild steel sandwich structure energy absorption performance subjected to localized impulsive loading
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Extensive research focus had been given to sacrificial sandwich panels to mitigate the effects of blast loads. This is due to their ability to distribute the load and absorb a significant portion of the blast energy. This ...
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 ...
A precious-metal-free Fe-intercalated carbon nitride porous-network with enhanced activity for the oxygen reduction reaction and methanol-tolerant oxygen reduction reaction
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
The economical cost of the catalyst material has remained a challenging task in traditional fuel cells (FCs) and in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). However, replacement of noble metals with precious metal-free materials ...
Impact of high turbidity on reverse osmosis: Evaluation of pretreatment processes
(
Desalination Publications
, 2020 , Article)
This study evaluates the performance of sand filtration (SF) and ultra-filtration (UF) as pretreat-ment processes for reverse osmosis (RO) for seawater with turbidities of 4.8, 23.2, and 99.7 NTU. For seawater with a ...
