Mathematical model of pneumonia and HIV/AIDS coinfection in the presence of protection
(2015)
In this paper, a deterministic co-infection model incorporating protection from infection for both pneumonia infection and HIV/AIDS is considered. The model is shown to be positively invariant as well as bounded. Specifically ...
Optimizing Zeolitic Catalysis for Environmental Remediation
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2015-05-01)
This chapter discusses the effects of chemical and physical properties of zeolites as they affect the catalytic efficacy and applications of the zeolites in environmental remediation. Heterogeneous catalysts, where zeolites ...
Finite Difference Analysis of 2-Dimensional Acoustic Wave with a Signal Function
(2015-12-09)
This paper describes progress on a two dimensional numerical simulation of acoustic wave propagation that has been developed to visualize the propagation of acoustic wave fronts and to provide time-domain signal. In this ...
Ab initio study of the structural, vibrational and thermal properties of Ge2Sb2Te5
(Imperial College Press, 2015-06-12)
The structural, vibrational and thermal properties of hexagonal as well as cubic Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) have been calculated from first principles. The relative stability of the possible stacking sequences of hexagonal GST has ...
Evaluation of enhanced soil washing process with tea saponin in a peanut oil–water solvent system for the extraction of PBDEs/PCBs/PAHs and heavy metals from an electronic …
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015-11)
Problems associated with PBDEs/PCBs/PAHs and heavy metals mixed contaminated sites have received wideattention. To address the associated environmental concerns, innovative remediation techniques are urgently needed
Does powder and granular activated carbon perform equally in immobilizing chlorobenzenes in soil?
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacies of powder activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC) as amendments for the immobilization of volatile compounds in soil. Soil artificially-spiked ...
Enhancing light absorption and lifetime stability of organic solar cells using pentacene encapsulation
(SA Institute of Physics, 2015)
. In the present work we compare the performance of a pristine P3HT:PCBM
based bulk heterojunction solar cell with a device incorporated with pentacene encapsulated
Ag nanoparticles. Encapsulation has been achieved through ...
Identification of QTL for Striga hermonthica Resistance Using Backcross Population Derived from a Cross between Oryza sativa (cv. Nipponbare) and O. rufipogon
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2015-02-01)
The obligate root hemiparasite, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., native to sub-Saharan Africa causes serious
economic constraint to cereal production. Studies on Striga spp. interactions with rice are desirable as it is ...
Allelopathic potential of mexican sunflower [tithonia diversifolia (hemsl) a. Gray] on germination and growth of cowpea seedlings (vigna sinensis l.)
(2015)
Allelopathy is a common among plants. Allelopathic substances affect seed
germination, plant growth and development or even affect chlorophyll
synthesis by the plant leaves. Tithonia diversifolia contains allelochemicals
that ...
