Sugar alcohol provides imaging contrast in cancer detection
(
NLM (Medline)
, 2019 , Article)
Clinical imaging is widely used to detect, characterize and stage cancers in addition to monitoring the therapeutic progress. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aided by contrast agents utilizes the differential relaxivity ...
Breast Cancer During Pregnancy: A Marked Propensity to Triple-Negative Phenotype.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2020 , Article)
Breast and cervical cancers comprise 50% of all cancers during pregnancy. In particular, gestational breast cancer is considered one of the most aggressive types of cancers, which is a rare but fatal disease. However, the ...
Potential of novel desert microalgae and cyanobacteria for commercial applications and CO2 sequestration
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2019 , Article)
CO2 fixation by phototrophic microalgae and cyanobacteria is seen as a possible global carbon emissions reducer; however, novel microalgae and cyanobacterial strains with tolerance to elevated temperatures and CO2 ...
Effect of cerium doping on the optical and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanoflowers
(
Indian Academy of Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
Photocatalytic performances of the synthesized cerium doped (Ce-doped) ZnO nanoflowers are reported in this work. A microwave-assisted sol–gel method is adopted for the synthesis of the nanomaterial and its structural and ...
Development of titanium dioxide nanowire incorporated poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
Critical size bone defects that do not heal spontaneously are among the major reasons for the disability in majority of people with locomotor disabilities. Tissue engineering has become a promising approach for repairing ...
Analysis of road traffic crashes in the State of Qatar
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are globally acknowledged as increasing threat to society, because they can affect many lives when they result in severe injury or fatality. In the State of Qatar RTCs are getting more awareness ...
Modulation of wettability, gradient and adhesion on self-assembled monolayer by counterion exchange and pH
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, two quaternary ammonium salts derived from L-lipoic acid were applied for self-assembled monolayers formation on rough structured gold surface. The derivatives differ in functionality since one possesses ...
Studies on the Electrical Properties of Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Poly (4-Styrene Sulfonic Acid) and Polyvinyl Alcohol Blend Composites
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In the present study, graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend composite films were prepared using colloidal blending technique at various concentrations of GO ...
Electrical and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding properties of hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride nanocomposite films
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (h-BNNPs) reinforced flexible polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple and versatile solution casting method. The morphological, thermal and ...
Investigation of the rheological properties of nanosilica-reinforced polyacrylamide/polyethyleneimine gels for wellbore strengthening at high reservoir temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Wellbore strengthening has been introduced recently to resolve lost circulation problems by improving the fracture gradient and hence extending the mud window. Polymeric cross-linkable solutions showed outstanding strength ...
