Enhancement of adhesion characteristics of low-density polyethylene using atmospheric plasma initiated-grafting of polyethylene glycol
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The low-density polyethylene/aluminum (LDPE/Al) joint in Tetra Pak provides stability and strength to food packaging, ensures protection against outside moisture, and maintains the nutritional values and flavors of food ...
Goodness-of-fit testing based on Gini Index of spacings for progressively Type-II censored data
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2021 , Article)
In this article, we propose two new scale invariant test statistics when the
available data are subject to progressively Type-II censoring. The proposed
tests are based on Gini index of spacings. It is observed thorough ...
Bariatric Surgery in Adults with Obesity: the Impact on Performance, Metabolism, and Health Indices
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article Review)
This systematic review summarizes current evidence on the impact of bariatric surgery (BS) on physical performance, metabolic, and health indices in adults with obesity. This systematic review suggests that BS induced ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
In an epoch of escalating number of antibiotic-resistance bacteria, there is a dire need to develop efficient and novel feeding strategies for animal nutrition as alternatives to antibiotics. Here, implicating nutrigenomic ...
Mussel-mimicking sulfobetaine-based copolymer with metal tunable gelation, self-healing and antibacterial capability
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In the present study, the sulfobetaine-based copolymer bearing a dopamine functionality showed gel formation adjusted by the application of metal salts for gelation and various values of pH. Normally, the liquid-like ...

This paper proposes new nonparametric hybrid exponentially weighted moving average (HEWMA) control charts based on simple random sampling (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS) techniques using the Wilcoxon rank-sum W statistic. ...
The use of principle component analysis and MALDI-TOF MS for the differentiation of mineral forming: Virgibacillus and Bacillus species isolated from sabkhas
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Occurrence of mineral forming and other bacteria in mats is well demonstrated. However, their high diversity shown by ribotyping has not been explained, although it could explain the diversity of formed minerals. Common ...
Systematic laboratory approach to produce Mg-rich carbonates at low temperature
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2021 , Article)
Dolomite is a common Mg-rich carbonate in the geological record, but the mechanism of its formation remains unclear. At low temperature, the incorporation of magnesium ions into the carbonate minerals necessary to form ...
