Are mangroves in arid environments isolated systems? Life-history and evidence of dietary contribution from inwelling in a mangrove-resident shrimp species
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf represents one of the more northerly extremes of mangrove distribution in the Indo-Pacific, and is populated only by Avicennia marina, due to its tolerance of high salinity and wide temperature extremes. ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C60-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction
(
MDPI
, 2015 , Article)
Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage ...
Salt water corrosion resistance of electrodeposited Ni-layered silicate nanocomposite coatings from Watts' type solution
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Pure nickel and nickel-montmorillonite (Ni-MMT) composite coatings were produced using pulse current electrodeposition from Watts' type solution. Experimental results show that the codeposition of MMT particles into the ...
Structural and magnetic studies of La2BMnO6 (B=Ni and Co) nanoparticles prepared by microwave sintering approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Double perovskite La2BMnO6 (B=Ni and Co) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by microwave sintering approach (MWS). The crystal structure properties of LBMO nanoparticles were systematically investigated using X-ray ...
Thermophysical properties of multifunctional glass fibre reinforced polymer composites incorporating phase change materials
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study novel multifunctional composites consisting of glass fibre/epoxy/microencapsulated phase change materials (micro-PCMs) were prepared and their thermophysical properties have been investigated. Test results ...
Compositional engineering of VOPcPhO-TiO2 nano-composite to reduce the absolute threshold value of humidity sensors
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This research work demonstrates compositional engineering of an organic-inorganic hybrid nano-composites for modifying absolute threshold of humidity sensors. Vanadyl-2,9,16,23-tetraphenoxy-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (VOPcPhO), ...
Extension of the model of binary fluidization to beds confined in a packing of coarse spheres
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The prediction of the minimum fluidization velocity of beds of Geldart's group B particles confined in a packed bed of coarse spheres can be achieved by extending to this peculiar type of systems the theory developed for ...
Initiation and inhibition of pitting corrosion on reinforcing steel under natural corrosion conditions
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Initiation and inhibition of pitting corrosion on reinforcing steel in saturated, naturally aerated Ca(OH)2 solutions, under natural corrosion conditions, are followed through measurements of corrosion current, electrochemical ...
Synthesis of new amines for enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance: The effect of chemical structure on equilibrium solubility, cyclic capacity, kinetics of absorption and regeneration, and heats of absorption and regeneration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This work focused on the synthesis of new tertiary amines by varying the alkyl chain length with/without hydroxyl group in the structure. The effect of chemical structure of newly synthesized tertiary amines; 4-(dimethyl ...
The effect of sliding speed on the wear of steel-tool steel pairs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study examines the effect of sliding speed and surface temperature on the wear behavior of an unlubricated mild steel-tool steel contact pair using the pin-on-disc test. The operating conditions and contact pair are ...
