Ionic liquid design for enhanced carbon dioxide capture - A computer aided molecular design approach
(
Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC
, 2014 , Article)
Greenhouse gases emission is known as the main factor of climate change, and carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up vast majority of them. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a vital technology to mitigate industrial CO2 emissions, ...
Entropy-Like Minimization Methods Based on Modified Proximal Point Algorithm
(
University of Toronto Press Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper we introduce an extension of the proximal point algorithm proposed by Guler for solving convex minimization problems. This extension is obtained by substituting the usual quadratic proximal term by a class ...

(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide with hypertension being a major contributing factor to cardiovascular disease–associated mortality. On a population level, non-pharmacological approaches, ...
Bootstrap confidence intervals for adaptive cluster sampling design based on Horvitz-Thompson type estimators
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2014 , Article)
Perez and Pontius (J Stat Comput Simul 76:755-764, 2006) introduced several bootstrap methods under adaptive cluster sampling using a Horvitz-Thompson type estimator. Using a simulation study, they showed that their proposed ...
Benthic marine algae of the arabian gulf: A critical review and analysis of distribution and diversity patterns
(
Schweizerbart Science Publishers
, 2014 , Article)
The Arabian Gulf is an extremely inhospitable and physiologically-stressful environment for marine organisms since they are exposed to the widest range and the highest sea temperatures in the world, as well as high salinities. ...
Self-standing elastomeric composites based on lithium ferrites and their dielectric behavior
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Lithium ferrite (LiFe5O8) is an attractive material for technological applications due to its physical properties, which are significantly dependent on the preparation method and raw materials. In this work, LiFe5O8 ...
Interval estimation of the stress-strength reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
We consider interval estimation of the stress-strength reliability in the two-parameter exponential distribution based on records. We constructed Bayesian intervals, Bootstrap intervals and intervals using the generalized ...
Edge-Maximal Graphs Without θ2k+1-Graphs
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Let σ(n; θ2k+1) denote the class of non-bipartite graphs on n vertices having no θ2k+1- graph and f(n; θ2k+1) = max{ ε(G): G ∊ σ (n; θ2k+1)}. In this paper we determine f(n; θ2k+1), by proving that for k ≥ 4 and n ≥ 36k. ...

(
Academic and Business Research Institute
, 2014 , Article)
This study aimed to determine the nature, the requirements of financial disclosure in
small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in comparison with large corporations in Jordan. It
also aimed to investigate the need for a special ...
Measuring luxury brand consumption and female consumers' religiosity in the UAE
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Luxury brand consumption by female consumers in the rich Arab Gulf states has never been systematically studied, and thus most of our knowledge in this area remains shaped by preconceived notions that are not likely to ...
