Synthesis and low-order optical nonlinearities of colloidal HgSe quantum dots in the visible and near infrared ranges
(Optical Society of America, 2021)
We synthesize colloidal HgSe quantum dots and characterize their nonlinear refraction and nonlinear absorption using a Nd:YAG laser and its second harmonic. The 7.5 nm quantum dots were synthesized using the hot-injection ...
Transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli K1 after therapy with hesperidin conjugated with silver nanoparticles
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2021)
Backgrounds: Escherichia coli K1 causes neonatal meningitis. Transcriptome studies are indispensable to comprehend the pathology and biology of these bacteria. Recently, we showed that nanoparticles loaded with Hesperidin ...
A Roadmap for Policy-Relevant Sea-Level Rise Research in the United Arab Emirates
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a long-term policy horizon, the financial capital, and a vision for a sustainable knowledge-based economy. These characteristics uniquely situate it as a potential leader for sea-level ...
Antitumour Activities of Selected Pure Compounds Identified from the Serum of Crocodylus porosus, Malayopython reticulatus, Varanus salvator and Cuora kamaroma amboinensis
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention, 2021)
Objectives: Here we determined antitumour effects of purified compounds such as Valdecoxib, Rofecoxib, L-Methionine and Artocarpin against cancer cell lines. Methods: Using purified compounds, assays were performed to ...
Influence of gas environment on the dynamics of wetting transition of laser-textured stainless steel meshes
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2021)
We analyze the role of surrounding gas and aging in ambient air in the wettability behavior of laser-processed stainless steel meshes. Laser texturing of meshes was carried out in the presence of different gases (N₂, O₂, ...
In vitro effects of multi-purpose contact lens disinfecting solutions towards survivability of Acanthamoeba genotype T4 in Malaysia
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
The incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis has been increasing since the previous decades, especially among contact lens users. This infection is majorly caused by the use of ineffective contact lens disinfecting solution. ...
Adapting to transnational education: students’ experiences at an American university in the UAE
(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2021)
Purpose – Despite the increasing number of transnational universities around the world, little attention has been paid to students who attend foreign universities in their own countries and their adjustment to the new ...
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), green alternatives to petroleum-based plastics: a review
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
In spite of the fact that petroleum-based plastics are convenient in terms of fulfilling the performance requirements of many applications, they contribute significantly to a number of ecological and environmental problems. ...
Modeling Strategies of Finite Element Simulation of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP: A Review
(MDPI, 2021)
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites do not only possess superior mechanical properties, but can also be easy to tailor, install, and maintain. As such, FRPs offer novel and attractive solutions to facilitate strengthening ...
Long-term field performance of concrete produced with powder waste glass as partial replacement of cement
(Elsevier, 2021)
This paper reports the long-term field and laboratory-tested performance of concrete produced with 20 wt% replacement of cement with powder waste glass (WG). Field investigations of WG concrete were carried out in a ...
