Synchronous spectrofluorimetric study of the supramolecular host–guest interaction of β-cyclodextrin with propranolol: A comparative study
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The objective of this work is to assess the use of constant-wavelength synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) in comparison to conventional fluorescence spectroscopy (CFS) for the investigation of the supramolecular ...
The electrolytic treatment of synthetic urine using DSA electrodes
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, the electrochemical treatment of synthetic urine by anodic oxidation using dimensionally stable anode (DSA) was studied. The influence of current density and temperature on the kinetics and efficiency of ...
Decentralized Unitary System: A Possible Middle Ground for Somalia
(
Center for Research and Policy Studies
, 2015 , Article)
The debate over a suitable governance model for Somalia is re-examined using material gleaned from interviews, focus-groups, document analyses and literature. Analysis first identifies four domestic grievances – trust-deficit, ...
Measurement and modelling of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions: a marker for traffic-related air pollution in Doha, Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
In the State of Qatar, recent statistics show a continued increase in the motor-vehicle fleet commensurate with population growth and economic development. This trend, together with the rapid expansion of urban areas and ...
An Interface Coassembly in Biliquid Phase: Toward Core-Shell Magnetic Mesoporous Silica Microspheres with Tunable Pore Size
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Core-shell magnetic mesoporous silica microspheres (Magn-MSMs) with tunable large mesopores in the shell are highly desired in biocatalysis, magnetic bioseparation, and enrichment. In this study, a shearing assisted interface ...
Effects of the P20 protein from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on insecticidal crystal protein Cry4Ba
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The accessory protein P20 from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis has been defined as an important molecular chaperone for forming crystal Cyt1Aa, and enhancing Cry11Aa and Cry4Aa expression. To investigate its putative ...
Graphene and graphitic derivative filled polymer composites as potential sensors
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Graphite and numerous graphitic-derived micro- and nano-particles have gained importance in current materials science research. These two-dimensional sheets of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms remarkably influence the properties ...
Characterisation of novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolates against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera:Tephridae)
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is successfully used in pest management strategies as an eco-friendly bioinsecticide. Isolation and identification of new strains with a wide variety of target pests is an ever growing field. In this ...
TiO2-pillared clays with well-ordered porous structure and excellent photocatalytic activity
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
TiO2-pillared clays with well-ordered porous structures are successfully prepared via incorporating TiO2 nanosol particles into the clays, where empty octahedral sites are partially modified with divalent metal ions such ...
A comparison of physiological and transcriptome responses to water deprivation and salt loading in the rat supraoptic nucleus
(
American Physiological Society
, 2015 , Article)
Salt loading (SL) and water deprivation (WD) are experimental challenges that are often used to study the osmotic circuitry of the brain. Central to this circuit is the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus, which ...
