A Synergetic Trust Model Based on SVM in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have been widely applied in underwater scenarios where numerous anchoring or floating sensor nodes collaborate in performing some specific assignments, such as information ...
Mode selection schemes for D2D enabled unmanned aerial vehicle-based wireless networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the authors present and evaluate the performance of two mode selection schemes for device-to-device (D2D) enabled unmanned aerial vehicle-based wireless networks. The proposed schemes are based on a threshold ...
Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, physicochemical and neurological study profile.
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Clinically approved iron chelators are effective in decreasing significant transfusional iron accumulation. Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO), a novel high molecular weight iron chelator, was produced to increase binding capacity ...
7-O-methylpunctatin, a novel homoisoflavonoid, inhibits phenotypic switch of human arteriolar smooth muscle cells
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Remodeling of arterioles is a pivotal event in the manifestation of many inflammation-based cardio-vasculopathologies, such as hypertension. During these remodeling events, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) switch from ...
PPF-dependent fixed point results for multi-valued ? F-contractions in Banach Spaces and Applications
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
The solutions for many real life problems is obtained by interpreting the given problem mathematically in the form of f (x) = x. One of such examples is that of the famous Borsuk-Ulam theorem, in which using some fixed ...
Electrochemical oxidation/disinfection of urine wastewaters with different anode materials
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
In the present work, electrochemical technology was used simultaneously for the deactivation of microorganisms and the destruction of micro-pollutants contained in synthetic urine wastewaters. Microorganisms (E. coli) were ...

(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
Objective To investigate the prevalence and associated cardiovascular risk factors 6 years after hyperglycemia first detected in pregnancy (HFDP) in Cape Town, South Africa. Research design and methods Data were collected ...
Adsorption kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies of eosin-B onto anion exchange membrane
(
Desalination Publications
, 2019 , Article)
In this research, batch adsorption of anionic dye Eosin-B (EB) onto anion exchange membrane (AEM)
(BI) from aqueous solution has been investigated at room temperature. The effect of some operating
conditions such as ...
Implication of salt stress induces changes in pigment production, antioxidant enzyme activity, and qRT-PCR expression of genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of Bixa orellana L.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
The effect of salt stress on pigment synthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity as well as in the genes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of bixin was studied. The 14-day germinated seedlings of Bixa orellana were induced ...
miR-20b, miR-296, and Let-7f Expression in Human Adipose Tissue is Related to Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes.
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
This study aimed to analyze the potential association of different microRNA (miRNA) molecules with both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity and determine their target genes. Quantitative PCR was used to analyze the miR-20b, ...
