Potential of novel desert microalgae and cyanobacteria for commercial applications and CO2 sequestration
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria is seen as a possible global carbon emissions reducer; however, novel microalgae and cyanobacterial strains with tolerance to elevated temperatures and CO2 ...
A simplified modal-based method to quantify delamination in carbon fibre-reinforced plastic beam
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
This study contributes to our knowledge about the detection and recognition of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites by using a modal analysis technique. Delamination was artificially induced during the ...

Purpose
Credit market development requires appropriate credit assessment and default policies. This paper aims to examine the impact of household characteristics on mortgage default, using survey data collected from ...
Improving the Performance of Attached-Growth Wastewater Treatment Processes by Altering the Support Media Surface
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This study investigated the impact of altering the surface characteristics of support media used in attached-growth processes on the performance of biological wastewater treatment. The surface alteration was achieved through ...
Fault-tolerant control of linear systems using adaptive virtual actuator
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, design and development of fault-tolerant control (FTC) is investigated for linear systems subject to loss of effectiveness and time-varying additive actuator faults as well as an external disturbance using ...
Effect of cerium doping on the optical and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanoflowers
(
Indian Academy of Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
Photocatalytic performances of the synthesized cerium doped (Ce-doped) ZnO nanoflowers are reported in this work. A microwave-assisted sol–gel method is adopted for the synthesis of the nanomaterial and its structural and ...
Empirical Bayes sequential estimation of a finite population mean
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
In this article, we consider the Bayes and empirical Bayes problem of the current population mean of a finite population when the sample data is available from other similar (m-1) finite populations. We investigate a general ...
Development of titanium dioxide nanowire incorporated poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
Critical size bone defects that do not heal spontaneously are among the major reasons for the disability in majority of people with locomotor disabilities. Tissue engineering has become a promising approach for repairing ...
