Impact of first-year seminar on student engagement, awareness, and general attitudes toward higher education
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Purpose: This study intends to add to the existing body of literature on the impact of a newly implemented first year seminar in the College of Law and Business. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects the ...
Electrospun polyvinyl alcohol membranes incorporated with green synthesized silver nanoparticles for wound dressing applications.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Electrospun membranes have the potential to act as an effective barrier for wounds from the external environment to prevent pathogens. In addition, materials with good antibacterial properties can effectively fight off the ...
Influence of CuO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets on the sensing behaviour of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites for the detection of ethanol and propanol vapors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
Poly(vinyl alcohol)/copper oxide/graphene nanoplatelets (PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls) nanocomposite based chemiresistive alcohol sensors were fabricated using colloidal blending method. The PVA/CuO/Gr-NPls nanocomposite films were ...
Influence of functionally graded pores on bone ingrowth in cementless hip prosthesis: a finite element study using mechano-regulatory algorithm
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Cementless hip prostheses with porous outer coating are commonly used to repair the proximally damaged femurs. It has been demonstrated that stability of prosthesis is also highly dependent on the bone ingrowth into the ...
Model-Based Analysis of Spur Gears' Dynamic Behavior in the Presence of Multiple Cracks
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Early detection of tooth cracks is crucial for effective condition-based monitoring and decision making. The scope of this work was to bring more insight into the vibration behavior of spur gears in the presence of single ...
Characterization of biogenic hydroxyapatite derived from animal bones for biomedical applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. In this work, the viability of producing biogenic hydroxyapatite from bio-waste animal bones, namely bovine (cow), caprine (goat) and galline (chicken), through a heat treatment ...
A Method for 3-D Printing Patient-Specific Prosthetic Arms with High Accuracy Shape and Size
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
Limb amputation creates serious emotional and functional damage to the one who lost a limb. For some upper limb prosthesis users, comfort and appearance are among the desired features. The objective of this paper is to ...
Studies on the Electrical Properties of Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Poly (4-Styrene Sulfonic Acid) and Polyvinyl Alcohol Blend Composites
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend composite films were prepared using colloidal blending technique at various concentrations of GO ...
A theoretical and experimental study of fast lower bounds for the two-dimensional bin packing problem
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Article)
We address the two-dimensional bin packing problem with fixed orientation. This problem requires packing a set of small rectangular items into a minimum number of standard two-dimensional bins. It is a notoriously intractable ...
Towards achieving nanofinish on silicon (Si) wafer by ?-wire electro-discharge machining
(
Springer London
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigates the use of nanopowder-mixed dielectric oil and temporary metallic coating on highly doped Si sample to achieve nanometric surface roughness using ?-WEDM operation. To achieve this, two different ...
