Effect of vortex order on helical-phased donut mode launch in multimode fiber
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Optical fiber sensors based on mode division multiplexing (MDM) play an increasingly vital role for real-time multi-parameter measurements. For multimode fibers, the central core region typically has defects in the refractive ...
Measurements of laminar flame speeds of alternative gaseous fuel mixtures
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
Global warming and the ever increasing emission levels of combustion engines have forced the engine manufacturers to look for alternative fuels for high engine performance and low emissions. Gaseous fuel mixtures such as ...
Autoignition of n-heptane in a turbulent co-flowing jet
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
N-heptane autoignition in turbulent co-flowing jets with preheated air is studied using the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. The simulations are designed to investigate the effects of molecular and turbulent transports ...

Optical mode division multiplexing for secure Ro-FSO WLANs
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
The widespread deployment of various wireless radio access systems in public areas poses acute issues in frequency assignment. Radio-over-free-space-optics (Ro-FSO) technology enhances spectral efficiency and may pave the ...
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors extracted from tobacco smoke as neuroprotective factors for potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of mainly the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, which leads to motor dysfunction. Although, most of the drugs are currently used for ...
Novel thiosemicarbazides induced apoptosis in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells via JNK signaling
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
In this study, novel thiosemicarbazides and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer effects on human MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized derivatives studied, compound ...

Thieme
, 2015 , Article)
Plant polyphenols, such as hydrolysable tannins, are present in the human diet and known to exhibit anti-diabetic and anti-obesity activity. We previously reported that the representative hydrolysable tannin compound ...
Potential of ground source heat pump systems in cooling-dominated environments: Residential buildings
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
For countries in the Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning (A/C) systems account for 65% of the energy consumption, all of which comes from fossil fuel. Given the preparation for the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in ...
