Obesity and maternal perception: a cross-sectional study of children aged 6 to 8 years in Kuwait
(
World Health Organization
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Childhood obesity is on the increase in the Middle East.
Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity in those aged six to eight years and to investigate maternal perception of child ...
Investigation and Application of Bacillus licheniformis Volatile Compounds for the Biological Control of Toxigenic Aspergillus and Penicillium spp
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
The present study was designed to investigate the antagonistic activity of Bacillus licheniformis BL350-2 against mycotoxigenic strains of Aspergillus and Penicillium. In vitro coincubation for 5 days indicated Aspergillus ...
Understanding the Origin of the Ultrahigh Rate Performance of a SiO2-Modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is one of the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for rapid charging–discharging applications. The surfaces of LNMO samples are coated with different amounts ...
Thermochemical CO2 splitting using a sol‐gel–synthesized Mg‐ferrite–based redox system
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The synthesis, characterization, and application of the MgxFe3−xO4 (MF) redox materials towards conversion of CO2 via thermochemical redox reactions are reported. Sol‐gel method was utilized for the synthesis of MF materials. ...
Chemically synthesized carbon nanorods with dual polarized emission
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
We realized the synthesis of carbon nanorods—monodisperse colloidal particles with a length of 50 nm and a width of 20 nm—which can be considered an addition to the family of light-emitting carbon-based nanostructures. ...
The purification and identification of human blood serum proteins with affinity to the antitumor active RL2 lactaptin using magnetic microparticles
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The cytopoxic effect of RL2 lactaptin (the recombinant analog of proteolytic fragment of human kappa‐casein) toward tumor cells in vitro and in vivo presents it as a novel promising antitumor drug. The binding of any drug ...
Effects of Turbulence Intensity and Biogas Composition on the Localized Forced Ignition of Turbulent Mixing Layers
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Three-dimensional compressible Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have been used to investigate the localized forced ignition of statistically planar mixing layers of biogas/air mixtures for different levels of turbulence ...
New characteristics of optimal solutions for the two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers with the objective of minimising the makespan (F2||Cmax) is addressed. Johnson’s algorithm finds optimal solutions (permutations) to this problem, but are not necessarily ...
Prescribers' views and experiences of using direct acting oral anticoagulants in the management of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: A survey in remote and rural Scotland.
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
A recent systematic review highlighted the lack of robust studies on prescribers' perspectives of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The aim was to determine prescribers' views ...
A Modular Multilevel Voltage-Boosting Marx Pulse-Waveform Generator for Electroporation Applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In order to overcome the limitations of the existing classical and solid-state Marx pulse generators, this paper proposes a new modular multilevel voltage-boosting Marx pulse generator (BMPG). The proposed BMPG has hardware ...
