Changements climatiques et essor djihadiste au Sahel: une approche critique pour des solutions plus adaptées
(
GQEG
, 2018 , Article)
Les pays du Lac Tchad et la communauté internationale ont privilégié depuis plusieurs années la résolution des problèmes complexes du Sahel (tels que le terrorisme, la pauvreté extrême et la dégradation environnementale) ...
Influence of Ag nanoparticles on state of the art MnO2 nanorods performance as an electrocatalyst for lithium air batteries
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract The need for an alternative and efficient electrocatalyst to replace Pt-based noble materials is a goal of prime importance in Li– air battery technology. In this work, novel silver nanoparticles-incorporated MnO2 ...
Elaeagnus angustifolia Plant Extract Inhibits Angiogenesis and Downgrades Cell Invasion of Human Oral Cancer Cells via Erk1/Erk2 Inactivation.
(
Taylor & Francis (Routledge)
, 2018 , Article)
Oral cancer is a common malignancy in both men and women worldwide; this cancer is characterized by a marked propensity for invasion and spreading to local lymph nodes. On the other hand, Elaeagnus angustifolia (EA) is a ...
Kinetic studies of POSS–DGEBA precursors derived from monoamine functional POSS using dynamic dielectric sensing and nuclear magnetic resonance
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Incorporation of pre‐reacted monofunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)–epoxy adducts dramatically improves dispersion of POSS in epoxy–amine networks. The relationship between reaction kinetics and mechanism ...
Surface engineering of the PLA films for fabricating dexterous humidity sensors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
This study presents the surface engineering of the thin films of a biodegradable polymer, poly lactic acid (PLA), for its application in moisture/humidity sensors. The PLA films were deposited on the comb-like pre-patterned ...
An integrated dynamical modeling perspective for infrastructure resilience
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 by the authors This paper considers a dynamical way to connect resilience outcomes and processes by nesting process-based approaches inside a controlled dynamical system under resource constraints. To illustrate ...
Reprint of “The effect of site-specific spectral densities on the high-dimensional exciton-vibrational dynamics in the FMO complex”
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The coupled exciton-vibrational dynamics of a three-site model of the FMO complex is investigated using the Multi-layer Multi-configuration Time-dependent Hartree (ML-MCTDH) approach. Emphasis is put ...
Characterization of Endothelial Cilia Distribution During Cerebral-Vascular Development in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(
American Heart Association
, 2018 , Article)
Objective—Endothelial cells (ECs) sense and respond to flow-induced mechanical stress, in part, via microtubule-based projections called primary cilia. However, many critical steps during vascular morphogenesis occur ...
Effect of electrolytes on electrokinetics and flocculation behavior of bentonite-polyacrylamide dispersions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. In this study, the influence of electrolytes on bentonite dispersions flocculated with different polyacrylamides varying in charge type, density and molecular weights has been investigated. The presence ...
Synthesis and characterisation of Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2 duplex composite coatings
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract: Binary (Ni–B, Ni–P) and duplex coatings (Ni–B/Ni–P, Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2) with an inner Ni–B layer were electrodeposited on mild steel substrates. A comparison of the structural, surface, mechanical, and electrochemical ...
