Reduced vasorin enhances angiotensin II signaling within the aging arterial wall
(
Impact Journals
, 2018 , Article)
The glycosylated protein vasorin physically interacts with the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) and functionally attenuates its fibrogenic signaling in the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of the arterial wall. ...
A comparative study of structural and mechanical properties of Al-Cu composites prepared by vacuum and microwave sintering techniques
(
Elsevier Editora Ltda
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, the aluminum metal matrix composite reinforced with copper particulates (3, 6 and 9 vol.%) were fabricated by high energy ball milling, followed by vacuum sintering (VS) and microwave sintering techniques ...
The first record of the Indo-Pacific benthic ctenophore Coeloplana (Benthoplana) meteoris (Ctenophora: Coeloplanidae) in the ArabianPersian Gulf
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
This report presents the first occurrence of the Indo-Pacific benthic ctenophore Coeloplana (Benthoplana) meteoris (Thiel, 1968) in the western part of the Arabian-Persian Gulf, extending its range to 2000km, a record that ...
Characterization of disturbed hemodynamics due to stenosed aortic jets with a Lagrangian Coherent structures technique
(
JAFM
, 2018 , Article)
Isfahan University of Technology. The aortic valve is located at left ventricular outlet and is exposed to the highest pressure in the cardiovascular system. Problems associated with the valve leaflet movement can cause ...
Highly efficient sustainable photocatalytic Z-scheme hydrogen production from an α-Fe2O3 engineered ZnCdS heterostructure
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
We present an α-Fe2O3/Zn0.4Cd0.6S heterostructure that shows visible light photocatalytic H2 production as high as 536.8μmolh−1 with apparent quantum efficiency of 11.2% at 420nm. The UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra of ...
Synergistic effect of Co-Ni co-bridging with MoS2nanosheets for enhanced electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
The depletion of fossil fuels and associated environmental problems have drawn our attention to renewable energy resources in order to meet the global energy demand. Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution has been considered ...
A mini review on percent time-spent-following (PTSF) as the service measure for two-lane highways
(
Komunitas Ilmuwan dan Profesional Muslim Indonesia
, 2018 , Article)
Percent Time Spent Following (PTSF) is used by the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) as one of the service measures to assess the level-of-service of two-lane highways since the 2000 edition. But, the problem facing to estimate ...
Nano-magnetic hydrotalcite synthesized by double in-situ hydrothermal method with enhanced electromagnetic characteristics
(
Electrochemical Science Group, University of Belgrade
, 2017 , Article)
A series of nano-magnetic hydrotalcite with different content of CoFe2O4 is prepared by homogeneous double in-situ hydrothermal method using self-synthesised CoFe2O4, Cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO3)2·6H2O), magnesium ...
Innovative countermeasures for red light running prevention at signalized intersections: A driving simulator study
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The change interval, which includes the yellow and all-red times, plays a crucial role in the safety and operation of signalized intersections. During this interval, drivers not only need to decide to stop or go but also ...
Tailoring electrocatalytic properties of Pt nanoparticles grown on Ti3C2Tx MXene surface
(
Electrochemical Society, Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In this work, the spontaneous and NaBH4-induced reduction of chloroplatinic acid on the surface of Ti3C2TX MXene was investigated to synthesize a hybrid PtNP-decorated MXene nanomaterial (MX-Pt) with potential as hydrogen ...
