Absorption of Hydrogen Bond Donors by Pyridyl Bis-Urea Crystals
(American Chemical Society, 2021-12)A one-dimensional crystalline solid built from pillars of self-assembled bis-urea pyridyl macrocycles affords a close packed structure with no pores. These organic pillars contain unsatisfied urea oxygen lone pairs that ... -
An Abstract Impulsive Second-Order Functional-Differential Cauchy Problem with Nonlocal Conditions
(Springer Link, 2020-10)The main concern of the paper is to prove the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of mild and classical solutions of a semilinear impulsive second-order functional-differential equation with nonlocal initial ... -
Acculturation, out-group positivity and eating disorders symptoms among Emirati women
(NCBI "PubMed", 2016)Western acculturation has been implicated in the development of eating disorders among populations liv- ing outside Europe and North America. This study explored the relationship between Western acculturation, in-group/ ... -
Acid mediated networked cellulose: preparation and characterization
(Elsevier, 2011)High-yield networked cellulose (NC) material was prepared by sulfuric acid dissolution of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and regeneration in ethanol. The dissolution was studied by varying treatment temperature and time ... -
Activation of PVDF membranes through facile hydroxylation of the polymeric dope
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-11)A method comprising a two-step alkali/acid treatment of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymer is developed for the fabrication of flat-sheet PVDF membranes functionalized with labile hydroxyl groups. This method involves ... -
Addressing key issues in the consanguinity-related risk of autosomal recessive disorders in consanguineous communities: lessons from a qualitative study of British Pakistanis
(Springer, 2016)Abstract Currently, there is no consensus regarding services required to help families with consanguineous marriages man- age their increased genetic reproductive risk. Genetic services for communities with a preference ... -
Advantages of bioconjugated silica-coated nanoparticles as an innovative diagnosis for human toxoplasmosis.
(Elsevier, 2018)Nanotechnology is a promising arena for generating new applications in Medicine. To successfully functionalised nanoparticles for a given biomedical application, a wide range of chemical, physical and biological factors ... -
Aggregate capacity planning for elective surgeries: A bi-objective optimization approach to balance patients waiting with healthcare costs
(Elsevier, 2015)The usual bottleneck resource in a healthcare chain is the operating room (OR) which has to be scheduled in advance for different elective surgeries. With an ever growing demand, the treatment capacity has lagged behind ... -
Air quality assessment in an industrial area by using environmental indicators
(2002-10)In the present work an assessment of the air quality in the Ptolemais œ Kozani industrial area (Northwestern Greece) is attempted by the use of environmental indicators. Data about the air pollutant concentrations measured ... -
Alcohol and cigarette consumption among white and Asian general practice patients
(Sage, 1988-09-01)LOW prevalence of alcohol and cigarette consump tion in Asian populations has been reported, though there is come evidence that smoking is becoming more acceptable to certain groups of Asian males. We examined the smoking ... -

Almost periodic solutions of neutral impulsive systems with periodic time-dependent perturbed delays
(Springer Link, 2003-09)A neutral impulsive system with a small delay of the argument of the derivative and another delay which differs from a constant by a periodic perturbation of a small amplitude is considered. If the corresponding system ... -
Alzheimer's disease diagnostics by a deeply supervised adaptable 3D convolutional network
(Cornell university, 2016)Early diagnosis, playing an important role in preventing progress and treating the Alzheimer's disease (AD), is based on classification of features extracted from brain images. The features have to accurately capture ... -
