Characterization of Industrial Flaring under Uncertainty for the Design of Optimum Flare Recovery and Utilization Systems
( Elsevier B.V. , 2022 , Book chapter)One of the main challenges in industrial applications is to optimally manage flare gases that are inevitably generated both in routine and non-routine process operations but can yet constitute valuable energy resources for ... -
Characterization of lightly stabilized granular base materials using monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2016 , Article)Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterized by their tensile properties and this paper examines the use of monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing to determine the tensile characteristics ... -
Characterization of MXene as a Cancer Photothermal Agent Under Physiological Conditions
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)A growing interest has recently emerged in the use of nanomaterials in medical applications. Nanomaterials, such as MXene, have unique properties due to their 2D ultra-thin structure, which is potentially useful in cancer ... -
Characterization of neurobehavioral pattern in a zebrafish 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced model: A 96-hour behavioral study
( Public Library of Science , 2022 , Article)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common brain motor disorder, characterized by a substantial loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Motor impairments, such as dyskinesia, bradykinesia, ... -
Characterization of polysulfone/diisopropylamine 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquid membranes: high pressure gas separation applications
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2020 , Article)Membrane separation is gaining great attention in many applications, especially in gas separation. Polysulfone (PSF) is the most widely studied polymeric membrane material for CO2 in its pure or modified state. Ionic liquids ... -
Characterization of regulatory sequences in alternative promoters of hypermethylated genes associated with tumor resistance to cisplatin
( Spandidos Publications , 2014 , Article)The development of cisplatin resistance in human cancers is controlled by multiple genes and leads to therapeutic failure. Hypermethylation of specific gene promoters is a key event in clinical resistance to cisplatin. ... -
Characterization of tbm muck for construction applications
