Changes in movement organization and control strategies when learning a biomechanically constrained gait pattern, racewalking: a PCA study
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Combining advances from gait analysis and motor learning fields, this study aims to examine invariant characteristics and practice-related changes in the control of walking gait when learning a biomechanically constrained ...
TiO2 nanotubes and mesoporous silica as containers in self-healing epoxy coatings
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
The potential of inorganic nanomaterials as reservoirs for healing agents is presented here. Mesoporous silica (SBA-15) and TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized. Both epoxy-encapsulated TiO2 nanotubes and amine-immobilized ...
Mechanism and kinetics of electrochemical degradation of uric acid using conductive-diamond anodes
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
Uric acid (UA) is one of the principal effluents of urine wastewaters, widely used in agriculture as fertilizer, which is potentially dangerous and biorefractory. Hence, the degradation of UA (2,6,8-trihydroxy purine) in ...
Multivariate analysis of competitive adsorption of food dyes by activated pine wood
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
In this work, competitive adsorption of four food dyes (Sunset Yellow, Allura Red, tartrazine, and Brilliant Black) by heated pine wood is studied using multivariate calibration. Partial least squares PLS1 and principal ...
Uncovering responses of zooplankton community to CO2 acidification in Qatar coastal waters
(
Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The combustion of fossil fuels is pushing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) to unprecedented levels. This rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 is causing global changes, with noticeable increases in temperature, ...
Mediatized vernacularization: On the structure, entextualization and resemiotization of Varoufakiology
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This paper focuses on the structure of mediatized discourses on the former Greek minister of finance Yanis Varoufakis, which are labeled Varoufakiology. Through a multimodal discourse analysis of cartoons and photographs, ...
A multi-criteria approach of assessing public transport accessibility at a strategic level
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This paper presents an approach for accessibility categorization in areas where there is no extensive data available to run the conventional analysis. The presented method has the advantages of the lower data requirements ...
Iterative scheme for an elliptic non-local free boundary problem
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper we treat a non-local free boundary problem arising in financial bubbles, where the model is set in the framework of viscosity solutions. We suggest an iterative scheme which consists of a sequence of obstacle ...
Numerical Computation of the Conformal Map onto Lemniscatic Domains
(
Springer
, 2016 , Article)
We present a numerical method for the computation of the conformal map from unbounded multiply-connected domains onto lemniscatic domains. For ℓ -times connected domains, the method requires solving ℓ boundary integral ...
Coffee and its waste repel gravid Aedes albopictus females and inhibit the development of their embryos
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
Dengue is a prevalent arboviral disease and the development of insecticide resistance among its vectors impedes endeavors to control it. Coffee is drunk by millions of people daily worldwide, which is associated ...
