Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Steel Base Plates on Leveling Nuts
(2012-01)
Base plates are used to connect structural members to their foundations. They are routinely used in cantilevered structures supporting traffic utilities like overhead cantilevered direction signboards, traffic signals, ...
The Subtitling and Dubbing of Troy: A Comparative Study
(2012-06)
The processes for dubbing and subt i t l ing are acknowledged to be different approaches in audiovisual translat ion. They are different in nature, and given their strengths and l imi tat ions, the end resul ts are not ...
Loser becomes Winner: Translating Reality Shows for the Arab World
(2012-04)
The general belief is that reality television's diffusive intrusion into Arab media discourse is tarnishing the culture and identity of the target audience with that reshaping the role ideology plays in translation. This ...
Modeling, Simulation and Control of Biotrickling Filter for Removal of Air Pollutants
(2012-06)
Stringent environmental regulations for control of pollutants have led to the use of effective air pollution control strategies. Biotrickling filter, one of the biological reactors, offers a great advantage of being a cost ...
Multi-Objective Task Allocation Via Multi-Agent Coalition Formation
(2012-05)
Nowadays, tasks are complex and cannot be performed by individual agents. Therefore, there is a need to form coalitions utilizing the resources in order to maximize the efficiency of the system and/or maximize the payoff ...
Risk in Forecasting Correct Directional Changes in Financial Times Series
(2012-05)
Forecasting future moves of financial time series is an important task. Decision makers use different forecasting approaches. Regardless of the approach used, decision makers need to confident that the forecasting approach ...
Joint Transmitter / Receiver Optimization for Cognitive Radio Applications
(2012-05)
The increasing demand for high data rate services is a primary motivation for the development of next generation mobile radio networks. As such, efficient utilization of the available radio spectrum is an important objective ...
Ultrasound-Induced Calcein Release From eLiposomes
(Elsevier, 2012)
Ultrasound is explored as a method of inducing the release of encapsulated materials from eLiposomes, defined as liposomes containing emulsion droplets. Emulsions were formed using perfluorohexane and perfluoropentane. ...
Non-Viral Gene Transfection with Ultrasound: Is 100% Transfection Possible?
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012)
Ultrasound has been used as a modality to enhance the transfection of cells, purportedly via entry of genetic material through defects in the cell membrane produced by bubble cavitation events. A mathematical model was ...
Mapping of Embedded Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes in Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Nanotube Composite Using Electrostatic Force Microscopy
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)
In the present study, electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) was used as a nondestructive tool for mapping individual functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) incorporated in a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/CNT ...
