( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)A versatile wet impregnation method was employed to conveniently and controllably deposit Fe2O3 nanoparticles on zeolites including commercial Y, mordenite and ZSM-5 with the similar framework Si/Al ratios and crystal ... -
Recycling of Date Pits Into a Green Adsorbent for Removal of Heavy Metals: A Fractional Factorial Design-Based Approach
( Frontiers Media S.A. , 2019 , Article)Date pits (DPs) have been recycled into a low-cost adsorbent for removing of selected heavy metals (HMs) from artificially contaminated aqueous solutions. Adsorption of targeted HMs, both by raw date pits (RDP) and burnt ... -
Recycling of gas-to-liquid sludge as a potential organic amendment: Effect on soil and cotton properties under hyperarid conditions
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Gas-to-liquid (GTL) sludge is a specific wastewater treatment by-product, which is generated during the industrial process of natural gas conversion to transportation fuels. This least studied sludge is pathogen-free and ... -
Redesciption of Ten species of digenetic trematodes from marine fish of Emirati coastsof the Arabian Gulf
( Arab Bureau of Education for the Gulf States , 2003 , Article)Ten species of digenetic trematodes are fully described from fishes of the United Arab Emirates. These specimens, which have been previously described in a list which comprised different helminth fauna, commonly infest ... -
A Reduction in Maximal Incremental Exercise Test Duration 48 h Post Downhill Run Is Associated with Muscle Damage Derived Exercise Induced Pain.
( Frontiers Media , 2017 , Article)Purpose: To examine whether exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) and muscle soreness reduce treadmill maximal incremental exercise (MIE) test duration, and true maximal physiological performance as a consequence of exercise ... -
Reduction in piezoelectric voltage generation for the cerium doped nickel ferrite nanoparticles filled PVDF-HFP nanocomposites
( Elsevier B.V. , 2019 , Article)This paper describes the synthesis of grape cluster shaped nickel ferrite (NiFe 2 O 4 ) and cerium doped nickel ferrite (Ce-NiFe 2 O 4 ) nanoparticles by chemical co-precipitation and their addition to poly(vinylidene ... -
Reduction kinetics of ceria surface by hydrogen
( Elsevier , 2004 , Article)Sintered ceria pellets of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99gcm−3 were treated in a hydrogen flow at 1atm and various temperatures. The electrical conductivity was measured in situ while hydrogen gas was flowing over the CeO2. ... -
