(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
Unreinforced concrete or concrete reinforced with noncorrosive reinforcement could potentially be mixed with seawater in locations where potable water is scarce. A fundamental understanding of the properties of concrete ...
Mechanistic and adsorption equilibrium studies of dibenzothiophene-rich-diesel on MnO2-loaded-activated carbon: Surface characterization
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In this work, the preparation and characterization of MnO2-modified-activated carbon for selective removal of organosulfur compounds including dibenzothiophene were outlined. The deposited particles of the modifier were ...
An adaptive thresholding-based process variability monitoring
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
In high-dimensional processes, monitoring process variability is considerably difficult due to the large number of variables and the limited number of samples. Monitoring changes in the covariance matrix of a multivariate ...
Framework for Design under Uncertainty Including Inherent Safety, Environmental Assessment, and Economic Performance of Chemical Processes
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Typically, analysis and design of chemical processes is carried out considering average values of inherently uncertain data that pertain to key design and process variables that shape its performance. In this work, a ...
Factors affecting environmental citizenship behaviour: An empirical investigation in Malaysian paddy industry
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that affect paddy farmers’ environmental citizenship behaviour (ECB) in the context of agrochemical purchase. To achieve this objective, a theoretical framework ...
House dust mite-treated PAR2 over-expressor mouse: A novel model of atopic dermatitis
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex skin disease involving causative effects from both intrinsic and extrinsic sources. Murine models of the disease often fall short in one of these components and, as a result, ...
Effects of lunar phases on short-term, explosive physical performance among young trained athletes
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Beliefs that lunar phases affect human physiology started in ancient times. Research has recently revealed that a physical fitness index increased in sedentary students at the new moon (NM) and full moon (FM) compared to ...
