Can uncertainty indices predict Bitcoin prices? A revisited analysis using partial and multivariate wavelet approaches
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
This paper uses bivariate and multivariate wavelet approaches to revisit the co-movements between the Volatility Uncertainty Index (VIX) and Bitcoin (BTC). This is achieved by accounting for the impacts of the three major ...
Investigation of Proton Diffusion Coefficient for PbO2 Prepared from Intermediate Oxides
(
Pleiades Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
Lead dioxide was extracted from used batteries, and used to synthesize the following intermediate oxides by heating at different temperatures: Pb12O19, Pb12O17, and Pb3O4. Each of the prepared intermediate oxide was subject ...
Evaluation of short-term aging protocol for asphalt mixtures
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Asphalt mixtures are subjected to short-term aging during the production, placement, and compaction processes. Proper evaluation of asphalt pavement performance relies on the accurate characterization of asphalt mixtures ...

(
World Health Organization
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Childhood obesity is on the increase in the Middle East.
Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity in those aged six to eight years and to investigate maternal perception of child ...
Investigation and Application of Bacillus licheniformis Volatile Compounds for the Biological Control of Toxigenic Aspergillus and Penicillium spp
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
The present study was designed to investigate the antagonistic activity of Bacillus licheniformis BL350-2 against mycotoxigenic strains of Aspergillus and Penicillium. In vitro coincubation for 5 days indicated Aspergillus ...
Understanding the Origin of the Ultrahigh Rate Performance of a SiO2-Modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is one of the most promising cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries for rapid charging–discharging applications. The surfaces of LNMO samples are coated with different amounts ...
Thermochemical CO2 splitting using a sol‐gel–synthesized Mg‐ferrite–based redox system
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The synthesis, characterization, and application of the MgxFe3−xO4 (MF) redox materials towards conversion of CO2 via thermochemical redox reactions are reported. Sol‐gel method was utilized for the synthesis of MF materials. ...
The purification and identification of human blood serum proteins with affinity to the antitumor active RL2 lactaptin using magnetic microparticles
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The cytopoxic effect of RL2 lactaptin (the recombinant analog of proteolytic fragment of human kappa‐casein) toward tumor cells in vitro and in vivo presents it as a novel promising antitumor drug. The binding of any drug ...
Effects of Turbulence Intensity and Biogas Composition on the Localized Forced Ignition of Turbulent Mixing Layers
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Three-dimensional compressible Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have been used to investigate the localized forced ignition of statistically planar mixing layers of biogas/air mixtures for different levels of turbulence ...
New characteristics of optimal solutions for the two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
The two-machine flowshop problem with unlimited buffers with the objective of minimising the makespan (F2||Cmax) is addressed. Johnson’s algorithm finds optimal solutions (permutations) to this problem, but are not necessarily ...
