Treatment as prevention for hepatitis C virus in Pakistan: Mathematical modelling projections
(
BMJ Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
Objective Direct-Acting antivirals have opened an opportunity for controlling hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Pakistan, where 10% of the global infection burden is found. We aimed to evaluate the implications of five ...
Two-step single slope/SAR ADC with error correction for CMOS image sensor
(
Hindawi Publishing Corp
, 2014 , Article)
Conventional two-step ADC for CMOS image sensor requires full resolution noise performance in the first stage single slope ADC, leading to high power consumption and large chip area. This paper presents an 11-bit two-step ...
The impact of metal inert gas welding on the corrosion and mechanical behavior of AA 6061 T6
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2014 , Article)
An attempt has been made to investigate the effects of MIG welding on the corrosion and mechanical properties of AA 6061 T6. A series of experimental techniques has been conducted to evaluate the corrosion and mechanical ...
Comparison of various functionally graded femoral prostheses by finite element analysis
(
Hindawi
, 2014 , Article)
This study is focused on finite element analysis of a model comprising femur into which a femoral component of a total hip replacement was implanted. The considered prosthesis is fabricated from a functionally graded ...
Corrosion evaluation of 316L stainless steel in CNT-water nanofluid: Effect of CNTs loading
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Polarization resistance and potentiodynamic scan testing were performed on 316L stainless steel (SS) at room temperature in carbon nanotube (CNT)-water nanofluid. Different CNT loadings of 0.05, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 wt% were ...

(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Given the increasing importance and availability of traffic-related smartphone applications, understanding their potential use is vital, especially in developing countries. This research explores motorist perceptions of ...
Understanding probabilistic cognitive relaying communication with experimental implementation and performance analysis
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Efficiently use of the limited wireless spectrum can be achieved by cooperative cognitive relaying, where secondary users (SUs), who do not pay for the licensed spectrum and have better channel condition to the primary ...
Automatic detection of regions in spinach canopies responding to soil moisture deficit using combined visible and thermal imagery
(
Public Library of Science
, 2014 , Article)
Thermal imaging has been used in the past for remote detection of regions of canopy showing symptoms of stress, including water deficit stress. Stress indices derived from thermal images have been used as an indicator of ...
A low-cost closed-loop solar tracking system based on the sun position algorithm
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Sun position and the optimum inclination of a solar panel to the sun vary over time throughout the day. A simple but accurate solar position measurement system is essential for maximizing the output power from a solar panel ...
One-dimensional facile growth of MAPbI3 perovskite micro-rods
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
One-dimensional microrods (4–5 mm) of PbI2 and CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) with unique structural and morphological properties have been grown at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of both types of micro-rods exhibit ...
