Recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax/expanded graphite based heat absorbers for thermal energy storage: An artificial aging study
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
An artificial aging study of novel heat absorbers based on phase change materials (PCMs) prepared from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), paraffin wax (PW), and expanded graphite (EG) was investigated. The optimal ...
Investigation of the temperature-relatedwear performance of hard nanostructured coatings deposited on a s600 high speed steel
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Thin hard coatings are widely known as key elements in many industrial fields, from equipment for metal machining to dental implants and orthopedic prosthesis. When it comes to machining and cutting tools, thin hard coatings ...
BTEX, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and ozone concentrations at traffic influenced and background urban sites in an arid environment
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Spatial distribution of key air pollutants were studied in Doha, Qatar, over the course of two monitoring campaigns in early spring, 2016. Time-weighted averages of BTEX components (benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, ...
Pedestrian crashes at priority-controlled junctions, roundabouts, and signalized junctions: The UK case study
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Objectives: Over half of pedestrians killed and seriously injured in Great Britain in 2015 were involved in crashes at junctions. This study investigates the nature of these crashes. Methods: A study was conducted into ...
Rational Synthesis of Porous Graphitic-like Carbon Nitride Nanotubes Codoped with Au and Pd as an Efficient Catalyst for Carbon Monoxide Oxidation
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
The precise fabrication of efficient catalysts for CO oxidation is of particular interest in a wide range of industrial and environmental applications. Herein, a scalable method is presented for the controlled synthesis ...
Application of MALDI Biotyper System for Rapid Identification of Bacteria Isolated from a Fresh Produce Market
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
MALDI-TOF MS has revolutionized the identification of microorganisms and has become an indispensable part of routine diagnostics in the clinical microbiological laboratory. However, application of this technique in microbial ...
Designing carbon nanotube-based oil absorbing membranes from gamma irradiated and electrospun polystyrene nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Carbon-based materials are outstanding candidates for oil spill clean-ups due to their superhydrophobicity, high surface area, chemical inertness, low density, recyclability, and selectivity. The current work deals with ...
Identification and mapping of brain natriuretic peptide in the normal ventricular myocardium of a desert-dwelling mammalian model, the camel (Camelus dromedarius): Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study
(
Wiley-Liss Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is mainly produced in the ventricular myocardium, where it is released into the circulation, producing rapid volume decrease by diuresis, natriuresis, and water shift into the extracellular ...
Self-healing performance of multifunctional polymeric smart coatings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Multifunctional nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing a polymeric matrix with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with corrosion inhibitor (NaNO3) and urea formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMCs) encapsulated ...
Electrical characteristics and density of states of thin-film transistors based on sol-gel derived ZnO channel layers with different annealing temperatures
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of bottom gate thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on a sol-gel derived ZnO channel layer. The effect of annealing of ZnO active channel layers on the electrical ...
