( Springer US , 2009 , Article)Glucarpidase (former name: carboxypeptidase G2, or CPG2) is a bacterial enzyme that is widely used in detoxification of the cytotoxic drug, methotrexate, and in Antibody Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy for cancer treatment. ... -
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid to control biofouling and mineral scaling
( Elsevier B.V. , 2020 , Article)The polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was modified with graphene oxide (GO), followed by polymerization of acrylic acid (used as an antiscalant) for the reduction of both biofouling and mineral scaling. After ... -
Functionalization of reverse osmosis membrane with graphene oxide to reduce both membrane scaling and biofouling
( Elsevier Ltd , 2020 , Article)In this paper, commercially available graphene oxide (GO) was used as nanomaterials to modify polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membrane surface. After functionalization, the membrane surface properties were improved as the ... -
Functionalization of silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles as powerful demulsifier to recover oil from oil-in-water emulsion
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)This study presents an innovative approach for the preparation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles covered with SiO2 shell (denoted as Fe–Si-MNP), which were used to recover oil recovery from oil-in-water emulsion (O/W-emul). The ... -
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals as a novel adsorption material for removal of boron from water
( Elsevier Ltd , 2021 , Article)This study aims to prepare a novel adsorbent containing cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) isolated from date pits (DP) and ionic liquid (IL). The prepared composite of CNC and IL was then loaded onto the DP to prepare IL-CNC@DP ... -
Functionalized cellulose nanocrystals extracted from date pits as agricultural waste for the efficient remediation of molybdenum from groundwater: Performance and mechanistic studies
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The adsorption technique has proven to be an excellent option for treating contaminated water. This work was designed to investigate the efficient remediation of molybdenum (Mo(VI)) from groundwater by using a novel adsorbent ... -
Functionally graded porous femoral stem: Computational Analysis
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Conference Paper)Hip implants fail for many reasons. One of these reasons is due to aseptic loosening which causes bone resorption. The paper is oriented to investigate functionally graded porous stems by incorporating unique porous ... -
Functions and strategies for enhancing zinc availability in plants for sustainable agriculture
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article Review)Zinc (Zn), which is regarded as a crucial micronutrient for plants, and is considered to be a vital micronutrient for plants. Zn has a significant role in the biochemistry and metabolism of plants owing to its significance ... -
Fundamental group and cycle space of dual graphs and applications
( Elsevier , 2010 , Article)In this work, we study the fundamental group of dual graph of a planar graph. Moreover, we show that a planar graph G has no cut vertex if and only if N(Π(D(G))) = N(Π(D(G − v))) − 1 for any v ∈ V(G). Some applications ... -
Fundamental output voltage enhancement of half-bridge voltage source inverter with low DC-link capacitance
( Korean Institute of Power Electronics , 2018 , Article)Conventionally, in order to reduce the ac components of the dc-link capacitors of the two-level Half-Bridge Voltage Source Inverter (HB-VSI), high dc-link capacitances are required. This necessitates the employment of ... -
Funding liquidity risk and banks' risk-taking: Evidence from Islamic and conventional banks
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of funding liquidity risk on the risk-taking behaviour of Islamic and conventional banks. Using bank-level and country-level data from 18 countries over the period ... -
Funding sources and costs to deliver cardiac rehabilitation around the globe: Drivers and barriers.
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reach is minimal globally, primarily due to financial factors. This study characterized CR funding sources, cost to patients to participate, cost to programs to serve patients, and the drivers ... -
