FastRNABindR: Fast and Accurate Prediction of Protein-RNA Interface Residues
(
Public Library of Science (PLoS)
, 2016 , Article)
A wide range of biological processes, including regulation of gene expression, protein synthesis, and replication and assembly of many viruses are mediated by RNA-protein interactions. However, experimental determination ...
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 ...
Corporate Choice between Conventional Bonds and Sukuk Issuance: Evidence from GCC Countries
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Although there have been recent developments in respect of the diversification of capital markets
in GCC countries, the motivations of the firms issuing Sukuk or conventional bonds have remained
largely unexplored. Using ...
Photostability of the Oleic Acid-Encapsulated Water-Soluble CdxSeyZn1-xS1-y Gradient Core-Shell Quantum Dots
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
Composite systems where quantum dots (QDs) are combined with other nanomaterials (e.g., gold nanorods) in aqueous solutions have attracted broad attention - both for their potential in applications and for studies of ...
Curing enhancement and network effects in multi-walled carbon nanotube-filled vulcanized natural rubber: evidence for solvent sensing
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Electrically and thermally conductive polymer composites offer great possibilities in various electronic fields because of their low weight and ease of processing. This paper addresses the curing behaviour and network ...
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 ...
Assessment of the environmental health of an ecologically sensitive, semi-enclosed, basin - A water quality modelling approach.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Semi-enclosed basins are environmentally dynamic and some of the most anthropogenically affected components of the coastal realm. They can reflect various environmental impacts, thus qualifying as natural laboratories to ...
Controlled growth of Cu2O thin films by electrodeposition approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Thin films of Cu2O comprised of wavelike surface characteristic of compact nanoparticles were synthesized using a facile and cost-effective electrodeposition approach. The distinct surface morphologies with well-aligned ...
The effect of acute ophiobolin A treatment on HO-mediated inflammatory processes
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Many microbial and plant-derived metabolites contribute to the production of inflammatory mediators and the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules. Ophiobolin A (OPA) is a fungal secondary metabolite produced by Bipolaris ...
Elastomer/thermoplastic modified epoxy nanocomposites: The hybrid effect of 'micro' and 'nano' scale
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The approach of simultaneously exploit the use of microscale elastomers/thermoplastics and nanoscale fillers for the modification of epoxy systems is presently an active research topic. Such hybrid modification of epoxy ...
