Theoretical and Computational Modeling of the Effects of Electromagnetic Field on the Plasmodium Falciparum
(2011-12-15)
The study explores the potential effects of the remote application of cyclic magnetic field to the female anopheles mosquitoes that carry malaria parasites. The goal is to develop a theoretical basis that can guide the ...
Modelling of Contact and Adhesion at Interfaces in Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
(2011-12-15)
The study of the structures and properties of organic materials for organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications and their interrelationships is a rapidly growing field of research, involving interdisciplinary efforts at the ...
The Role of Potassium Sorbate in Multi-Layer Chitosan-Based on Aspergillus Niger
(2014-12-12)
This paper presents the use of multilayered chitosan films incorporated with antimicrobial agent, potassium sorbate to enhance effective food packaging. In this study, potassium sorbate was incorporated into multilayer ...
Effects of Bending on the Optoelectronic Properties and Failure Mechanism in Organic Photovoltaics
(2011-12-15)
This research investigates the effects of bending on the electrical, optical, structural and mechanical properties of flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Bulk heterojunction organic solar cells were fabricated on ...
Extended pulsated drug release from PLGA-based minirods
(Springer, 2017-02-07)
The kinetics of degradation and sustained cancer drugs (paclitaxel (PT) and prodigiosin (PG)) release are presented for minirods (each with diameter of ~5 and ~6 mm thick). Drug release and degradation mechanisms were ...
A Study of the Pre-Treatment Temperature of Lignocellulosic Butanols an Alternative Fuel (BIOFUEL) Produced from Bamboo using Clostridium Acetobutylicum
(2013-05-12)
Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass from bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) to butanol is an important alternative energy source. In this work, bamboo was used as biomass feedstock for the production of butanol by the fermentation ...
The Role of Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria on Corrosion of X65 Low Carbon Steels and its Mitigation Using Sodium Tungstate and Nickel Biocides
(2013-05-12)
Metals in service often give a superficial impression of permanence, but all except gold are chemically unstable in air and air-saturated water at ambient temperatures and most are also unstable in air-free water. Corrosion ...
Implantable Biomems Devices for Localized Breast Cancer Drug Delivery
(2011-12-15)
Implantable Bio-Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (BioMEMS) represent a new class of devices that can provide localized cancer drug delivery by the combined effect of chemotherapy and hyperthermia which gives it an advantage ...
Numerical Modeling of Wellbore Instability (SHEAR Failure) using Fracture Mechanics Approach
(2013-05-12)
Wellbore instabilities are responsible for 10-20% of the total drilling cost. It has been estimated that wellbore instability causes an annual economic loss of US$ 500 - 1000 million in the oil industry across the world. ...
Controlled Release of Fungicidal Antimicrobials on Packaged Foods
(2014-12-15)
This paper presents the effect of polymer concentration on the release of fungicidal antimicrobial (AM) agent to prolonging the shelf life of packaged food. This project aimed to produce and test AM films with varying ...
