Evidence of two mechanisms involved in Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis decreased toxicity against mosquito larvae: Genome dynamic and toxins stability
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2015 , Article)
Biopesticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis are the most used and most successful around the world. This bacterium is characterized by a dynamic genome able to win or lose genetic materials which leads to a ...
Cellulose assisted combustion synthesis of porous Cu-Ni nanopowders
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Porous nanopowders of Cu-Ni were synthesized using cellulose fibres as impregnation media at ambient pressure using combustion based techniques. The synthesized nanopowders were characterized using XRD, BET, SEM, TEM etc. ...
Solar hydrogen production via thermochemical iron oxide-iron sulfate water splitting cycle
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
This paper reports the thermodynamic analysis of solar H2 production via two-step thermochemical iron oxide–iron sulfate (IO–IS) water splitting cycle. The first step belongs to the exothermic oxidation of FeO via SO2 and ...
Microstructure and properties of sol-enhanced Ni-Co-TiO2 nano-composite coatings on mild steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Abstract Ni-Co-TiO2 nano-composite coatings were electroplated on mild steel by adding transparent TiO2 sol (0-50 mL/L) into the Ni-Co plating solution. The microstructure, mechanical property and corrosion resistance of ...
Preparation and property of duplex Ni-B-TiO2/Ni nano-composite coatings
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
The duplex Nickel-Boron-Titania/Nickel (Ni-B-TiO2/Ni) coatings were deposited on mild steel by using two baths with Ni as the inner layer. TiO2 nanoparticles were incorporated into the Ni-B coatings as the outer layer by ...
Duplex Ni-P-ZrO2/Ni-P electroless coating on stainless steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Duplex Ni–P–ZrO2/Ni–P coating was electroless deposited onto stainless steel substrates. High phosphorus Ni–P coating was plated as the inner layer to improve the corrosion resistance and low phosphorus sol-enhanced Ni–P–ZrO2 ...
Thermal insitu analyses of multicomponent pyrophosphate cathodes materials
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2015 , Article)
Development of secondary batteries based on abundant and inexpensive elements are vital. Amongvarious alternative choices, sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are promising because of plentiful resourcesand low costs of sodium ...
Properties of electrodeposited Ni-B-ZrO2 composite coatings
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2015 , Article)
Ni-B coatings have high hardness and high wear resistance which make them suitable for automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, textile and electronics industries. Further improvement in properties (especially the corrosion ...
Constitutive analysis for the quantification of hardness decay in a superlattice CrN/NbN hard-coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
In the present study, a constitutive analysis of the evolution of the mechanical response of a CrN/NbN superlattice coating exposed to high temperature has been performed. Parametric approaches were used to obtain a single ...
Correlated Multiple Antennas Spectrum Sensing under Calibration Uncertainty
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
We address the problem of spectrum sensing in cognitive radios (CRs) when the secondary user (SU) is equipped with a multiantenna receiver. We consider scenarios with correlation between the received channels at different ...
