A Hard Test of Individual Heterogeneity in Response Scale Usage: Evidence From Qatar
(
Oxford University Press
, 2016 , Article Review)
A common approach to correcting for interpersonal differences in response category
thresholds in surveys is the use of anchoring vignettes. Here we present results from
the first applications of anchoring vignettes in ...

Screening serum for the presence of prostate specific antigen (PSA) belongs to the most common approach for the detection of prostate cancer. This review (with 156 refs.) addresses recent developments in PSA detection based ...
Review on Surfactant Flooding: Phase Behavior, Retention, IFT, and Field Applications
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article Review)
Surfactant flooding is an important technique used in enhanced oil recovery to reduce the amount of oil in pore space of matrix rock. Surfactants are injected to mobilize residual oil by lowering the interfacial tension ...
Elastomer/thermoplastic modified epoxy nanocomposites: The hybrid effect of 'micro' and 'nano' scale
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article Review)
The approach of simultaneously exploit the use of microscale elastomers/thermoplastics and nanoscale fillers for the modification of epoxy systems is presently an active research topic. Such hybrid modification of epoxy ...
Polymeric Surfactants and Emerging Alternatives used in the Demulsification of Produced Water: A Review
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Stable emulsions are frequently encountered in oil production and cause a series of environmental and operational issues. Chemical demulsification is widely used for the separation of oil from water or removal of water ...
Architecture of Viral RNA Helicases; HCV Helicase as Antiviral Target
