Temporal variation in walking behavior: An empirical study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This study provides a baseline for understanding the variation in walking behavior with respect to seasonal conditions in a hot weather country in the Arabian Gulf region. A busy neighborhood with different land-use patterns ...
Acutodesmus obliquus as a benchmark strain for evaluating methane production from microalgae: Influence of different storage and pretreatment methods on biogas yield
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Acutodesmus obliquus (SAG 276-1), a microalga with a resistant cell wall, was chosen as a benchmark strain for testing the effect of storage and pretreatment methods on methane yields during anaerobic digestion. A. obliquus ...
Improved mechanical and corrosion properties of nickel composite coatings by incorporation of layered silicates
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Layered silicates as exfoliated montmorillonite are incorporated into nickel films by electrodeposition, enhancing both corrosion resistance and hardness. Films were deposited onto stainless steel from a plating solution ...
Solar hydrogen peroxide production on carbon nanotubes wired to titania nanorod arrays catalyzing As(III) oxidation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
We present an off-grid, standalone electrocatalytic H2O2 production reaction (HPR) using carbon nanotubes (CNT) wired to hydrogen-treated TiO2 nanorod (h-TNR) arrays catalyzing the oxidation of As(III) to As(V) under ...
Heat transfer enhancement of nanofluids using iron nanoparticles decorated carbon nanotubes
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Enhancing heat transfer in thermal fluid systems can contribute significantly towards the improvement of thermal efficiency resulting in reducing energy consumption and hence carbon emission. Conventional fluids like water ...
Electrocatalytic cogeneration of reactive oxygen species for synergistic water treatment
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This study examines the co-generation effect of hydroxyl radicals (OH) via water oxidation and H2O2 via O2 reduction in electrocatalytic processes with Sb-doped SnO2 (SS) anode and carbon nanotube (CNT) cathode pairs facing ...
High electrocatalytic performance of nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber-supported nickel oxide nanocomposite for methanol oxidation in alkaline medium
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanofiber (N-CNF)–supported NiO composite was prepared by electrospinning a sol-gel mixture of graphene and polyaniline (PANi) with aqueous solutions of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) followed by a ...
Structural properties of rice husk and its polymer matrix composites: An overview
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2017 , Book chapter)
There has been enormous interest in natural fiber application as reinforcing filler due to the interests in renewable raw materials and more environmentally friendly and sustainable resources. Rice husk (RH), a natural ...
Computational density functional theory study on the selective conversion of CO2 to formate on homogeneously and heterogeneously mixed CuFeO2 and CuO surfaces
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This study examines the reaction pathways for the selective conversion of CO2 to formate on the surface of mixed CuFeO2 and CuO (CFO) by employing density functional theory (DFT) calculation of the reaction energy and ...
Transcriptome assembly and abiotic related gene expression analysis of date palm reveal candidate genes involved in response to cadmium stress
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Date palm in Tunisia is of major economic importance but are also factors of social, environmental and economic stability. An annotated assembly of the transcriptome of cultivar Deglet Nour was reported. RNA was isolated ...
