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 ...
Microplastics in surface waters of the Gulf of Gabes, southern Mediterranean Sea: Distribution, composition and influence of hydrodynamics
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The Mediterranean Sea has been described as one of the most affected areas by marine litter in the world. Although microplastics and their effects have been investigated in this area, most of the currently available studies ...
Electrochemical behavior of mild and corrosion resistant concrete reinforcing steels
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
An experimental study is carried out in this paper to evaluate the corrosion performance of mild steel reinforcing bars (MS), high strength steel reinforcing bars (HS), epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars (EC), and ...
Influence of pH on chloride binding isotherms for cement paste and its components
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
In this paper, chloride (Cl−) binding isotherms are developed for cement hydration compounds, specifically, calcium-silicate-hydrates (CSH) and AFm phases including mono-sulfate aluminate, hydroxy-AFm, monocarbonate-AFm, ...
Ultrasound controlled paclitaxel releasing system—A novel method for improving the availability of coronary artery drug coated balloon
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
Objectives: The aim of this study is to improve local-drug delivery efficiency and tissue absorption using the ultrasound (US)-responsible drug coating based on a newly developed US-controlled paclitaxel release balloon. ...
Impact of employees' perceived corporate social responsibility on organizational citizenship behavior: A proposed theoretical model
(
IGI Global Publishing
, 2020 , Article)
Perceived reality plays a more prominent role in shaping one's attitudes and behaviors than the actual reality itself. Research on perceived corporate social responsibility (PCSR) has gained interest and this research study ...
Integration of federated machine learning and blockchain for the provision of secure big data analytics for Internet of Things
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Big data enables the optimization of complex supply chains through Machine Learning (ML)-based data analytics. However, data analytics comes with challenges such as the loss of control and privacy leading to increased risk ...
Dry ice-mediated rational synthesis of edge-carboxylated crumpled graphene nanosheets for selective and prompt hydrolysis of cellulose and eucalyptus lignocellulose under ambient reaction conditions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Edge-selectively carboxylated graphene (ECG) crumpled nanosheets are of great importance in potential applications; however, their catalytic activity towards biomass hydrolysis is not yet highlighted. Herein, we rationally ...
