Thermal Conductivities of Choline Chloride-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents and Their Mixtures with Water: Measurement and Estimation
(MDPI, 2020)
The thermal conductivities of selected deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were determined using the modified transient plane source (MTPS) method over the temperature range from 295 K to 363 K at atmospheric pressure. The results ...
Dynamic properties of language anxiety
(Adam Mickiewicz University, 2020)
This article begins by examining previous empirical studies to demonstrate that language anxiety, or the negative emotional reaction learners experience when using a second language (MacIntyre & Gardner, 1999), is a dynamic ...
Hybrid Look-Up-Tables Based Behavioral Model for Dynamic Nonlinear Power Amplifiers
(IEEE, 2020)
A new look-up table based behavioral model for dynamic nonlinear power amplifiers is proposed. This model labelled as hybrid look-up tables model is based on the combination of a memoryless look-up table sub-model and a ...
Sesamum indicum (sesame) enhances NK anti-cancer activity, modulates Th1/Th2 balance, and suppresses macrophage inflammatory response
(Medknow, 2020)
To evaluate the potential immunomodulatory effects of an aqueous extract of Sesamum indicum seeds with regard to splenocyte proliferation, Th1/Th2 balance, macrophage function, and the cytotoxic activity of natural killer ...
Assessment of the Environmental Status of the Mangrove Ecosystem in the United Arab Emirates
(MDPI, 2020)
In the Arabian Gulf, mangroves play a particularly important role in maintaining biodiversity. Water and intertidal sediments were collected from eight sampling locations in April 2017 to assess the environmental status ...
Heterometrus spinifer: An Untapped Source of Anti-Tumor Molecules
(MDPI, 2020)
Despite intensive research, cancer incidence and mortality continue to rise. Consequently, the necessity to develop effective anti-cancer therapy is apparent. We have recently shown that the gut bacteria of animals living ...
Groundnut spread likability, sensory properties, and intent to pay for quality certification
(Swedish Nutrition Foundation, 2020)
Quality-certified, nutritious novel groundnut spread has great commercialization possibilities due to evolving urban lifestyles in Africa, but lack of information about likability, sensory attributes, and consumer safety ...
Low-Cost Reduced Navigation System for Mobile Robot in Indoor/Outdoor Environments
(IEEE Access, 2020)
This paper presents a low-cost based approach for solving the navigation problem of wheeled mobile robots to perform required tasks within indoor and outdoor environments. The presented solution is based on probabilistic ...
Optimal Planning and Operation of Electric Vehicles Battery Swapping Stations
(2020-05)
Electric Vehicles (EVs) nowadays have become increasingly prevalent due to the advancements in EV technology and their impact on reducing greenhouse emissions. However, there are still some factors affecting the fast ...
Localizing-ground Transmitters Using Airborne Antenna Array
(2020-12)
A radio direction finder (RDF) estimates the direction of arrival (DOA) of a radio signal. It receives multiple copies of the signal by a multiple-element antenna array, making use of the characteristics of the received ...
