CloudFlow: A data-aware programming model for cloud workflow applications on modern HPC systems
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Traditional High-Performance Computing (HPC) based big-data applications are usually constrained by having to move large amount of data to compute facilities for real-time processing purpose. Modern HPC systems, represented ...
Optimization of nickel oxide nanoparticle synthesis through the sol-gel method using Box-Behnken design
(
Elsevier BV
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, nickel oxide nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method. The process parameters were optimized to produce smaller size of nanoparticles such as molar ratio, solution pH and calcination temperatures. ...
Corrosion behavior of superhydrophobic surfaces: A review
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Superhydrophobic surfaces have evoked great interest in researchers for both purely academic pursuits and industrial applications. Metal corrosion is a serious problem, both economically and operationally, for engineering ...
Ab initio molecular dynamics study of the interlayer and micropore structure of aqueous montmorillonite clays
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to gain an understanding of the interfacial microscopic structure and reactivity of fully hydrated clay edges. The models studied include both micropore and ...
Demulsification of stable emulsions from produced water using a phase separator with inclined parallel arc coalescing plates
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with a series of inclined multiple arc coalescence plates is developed and optimized for the removal of stable oil emulsions from produced water. The synthetic high ...
Monolayer polymer photocells. The opportunities
(
Academy of Sciences and Arts of the Republic of Serbia
, 2015 , Article)
The conversion of solar energy into electricity is in the focus of a large number of scientists. Because of the problems caused by the use of fossil fuels, the use of renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources ...
Radioactivity levels in the marine environment along the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A study on 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 238U was carried out along the EEZ of Qatar. Results serve as the
first ever baseline data. The level of 137Cs (mean value 1.6 ± 0.4 Bq m 3) in water filters was found to be in
the ...
Hypoxia in the central Arabian Gulf Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar during summer season
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract One of the most fascinating and unexpected discoveries during the Qatar University Marine Expeditions to the marine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Qatar in 2000–2001, was the detection of a hypoxic water layer ...
Synergistic effect of expanded graphite, diammonium phosphate and Cloisite 15A on flame retardant properties of EVA and EVA/wax phase change blends
(
Springer
, 2015 , Article)
The influence of the introduction of expanded graphite (EG), as well as combinations of EG with Cloisite 15A clay and diammonium phosphate (DAP), into EVA and an EVA/wax blend on the thermal stability and flammability of ...
Assessing the effects of data selection and representation on the development of reliable E. coli sigma 70 promoter region predictors
(
Public Library of Science
, 2015 , Article)
As the number of sequenced bacterial genomes increases, the need for rapid and reliable tools for the annotation of functional elements (e.g., transcriptional regulatory elements) becomes more desirable. Promoters are the ...
