Controlled Prelithiation of Silicon Monoxide for High Performance Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Full Cells
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Despite the recent considerable progress, the reversibility and cycle life of silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries are yet to be improved further to meet the commercial standards. The current major industry, instead, ...
Experimental investigation of the laminar flame speeds of GTL fuel blends
(
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work investigates the laminar flame speed of GTL fuel and its 50%-50% blend with conventional diesel, in a cylindrical bomb capable of measuring laminar flame speed, SN, at different initial temperatures and equivalence ...
How the experience of assessed collaborative writing impacts on undergraduate students' perceptions of assessed group work
(
Routledge
, 2016 , Article)
A time-series analysis was used to investigate Arabic undergraduate students' (n = 50) perceptions of assessed group work in a major government institution of higher education in Qatar. A longitudinal mixed methods approach ...
Flexible impedance and capacitive tensile load Sensor based on CNT composite
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, the fabrication and investigation of flexible impedance and capacitive tensile load sensors based on carbon nanotube (CNT) composite are reported. On thin rubber substrates, CNTs are deposited from suspension ...
An empirical study of intuition and its context
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Our knowledge of what determines intuitive decision making is still in its early stages, although there is an increasing interest in intuition in the last decade. In order to fill this gap, this study examines the differential ...
A Novel Encryption Method for Dorsal Hand Vein Images on a Microcomputer
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, a Lorenz-like chaotic system was developed to encrypt the dorsal hand patterns on a microcomputer. First, the dorsal hand vein images were taken from the subjects via an infrared camera. These were subjected ...
An Investigation of the Swelling Kinetics of Bentonite Systems Using Particle Size Analysis
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Particles size distribution (PSD) is introduced as a tool for analysis of bentonite aggregation and swelling kinetics. Raw Ca-bentonite was purified using a combined wet sieving and sedimentation processes, followed by ...
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) promotes survival of lymphoma cells via activation of WNT/B-catenin and AKT/GSK3B proliferative signaling
(
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Epigenetic regulation by the type II protein arginine methyltransferase, PRMT5, plays an essential role in the control of cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. In this report, we investigate the relationship between ...
Multi-person head segmentation in low resolution crowd scenes using convolutional encoder-decoder framework
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Person head detection in crowded scenes becomes a challenging task if facial features are absent, resolution is low and viewing angles are unfavorable. Motion and out-of-focus blur along with headwear of varying shapes ...
Factors influencing employees' intention to apply ergonomics at workplaces: A cultural perspective
(
Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
We examine the determinants of employees' intention to apply ergonomics at workplace and the moderating effects of Hofstede's cultural dimensions on the proposed research model. A research model, based on the decomposed ...
