Advanced material applications of starch and its derivatives
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Starch as a natural polymer has attracted significant interest and is currently used in numerous industrial applications. This is because of its renewability, biodegradability, abundance, and cohesive film-forming properties. ... -
Thin liquid film between a floating oil droplet and a glass slide under DC electric field
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)Hypothesis The shape of the liquid film (SLF) between a glass slide and an oil droplet immersed in an aqueous solution is influenced by the direct current (DC) electric field. The liquid film, consisting of the central ... -
Hydrophobic esterification of cellulose nanocrystals for epoxy reinforcement
(Elsevier, 2018-10-24)The reinforcing effects of native and modified cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) materials on thermosetting epoxies are investigated. CNC modification is conducted by grafting an activated medium chain fatty acid to substitute ... -
CFD simulation of nanofluid forced convection inside a three-dimensional annulus by two-phase mixture approach: Heat transfer and entropy generation analyses
(Elsevier, 2018-10-01)The behavior of water–Al2O3 nanofluid inside the three-dimensional horizontal concentric annulus is investigated by the two-phase mixture procedure regarding the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The annulus walls ... -
Dissimilar joining of carbon/carbon composites to Ti6Al4V using reactive resistance spot welding
(Elsevier, 2019-01-25)A 2D C/C composite with a high porosity (low strength) and a 3D C/C composite with a low porosity (high strength) were investigated for dissimilar joining to Ti6Al4V via reactive spot welding. It was determined that ... -
Concurrent photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants and photocathodic protection of steel Ag–TiO2 composites
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)In this study, coupled titanium dioxide-silver composite and steel electrode pairs were investigated for their use in cathodic protection under illuminated and dark conditions to prevent corrosion and enhance contaminant ... -
Concentrations of docosahexaenoic acid are reduced in maternal liver, adipose, and heart in rats fed high-fat diets without docosahexaenoic acid throughout pregnancy
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Fetal accretion for DHA is high during late pregnancy due to the brain growth spurt. Prior evidence suggests that DHA is mobilized from maternal liver and adipose to meet fetal accretion and physiological requirements. ... -
A nationwide regional flood frequency analysis at ungauged sites using ROI/GLS with copulas and super regions
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Region of influence is a common approach to estimate runoff information at ungauged locations. To estimate flood quantiles from annual maximum discharges, the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) framework has been recommended ... -
Hydrogen peroxide production in a pilot-scale microbial electrolysis cell
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)A pilot-scale dual-chamber microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) equipped with a carbon gas-diffusion cathode was evaluated for H2O2 production using acetate medium as the electron donor. To assess the effect of cathodic pH ... -
Sinter structure analysis of titanium structures fabricated via binder jetting additive manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2018-10-15)To facilitate functional part production in metal binder jetting additive manufacturing, the relationship between materials, process and sintering needs to be understood. This work relates sintering theory with process ... -
Tailoring green and sintered density of pure iron parts using binder jetting additive manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Binder jetting additive manufacturing (BJAM) is a comparatively low-cost process that enables manufacturing of complex and customizable metal parts. This process is applied to low-cost water-atomized iron powder with the ... -
Towards self-powered sensing using nanogenerators for automotive systems
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Harvesting energy from the working environment of vehicles is important for wirelessly monitoring their operation conditions and safety. This review aims at reporting different sensory and energy harvesting technologies ... -
Anisotropy in the quasi-static and cyclic behavior of ZK60 extrusion: Characterization and fatigue modeling
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)The quasi-static and strain-controlled fatigue characteristics of ZK60 extrusion have been investigated along three different directions: the extrusion direction (ED), the radial direction (RD), and 45° to the extrusion ... -
Social anxiety in the digital age: The measurement and sequelae of online safety-seeking
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)Online communication is essential to modern life, but its features may also afford socially anxious individuals the ability to conceal themselves, or parts of themselves, from evaluation by others. In this way, Internet-based ... -
Dunhuang Tectonic Belt in northwestern China as a part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Structural and U-Pb geochronological evidence
(Elsevier, 2018-11-13)The Dunhuang Tectonic Belt (DTB) is located about 100 km south of the Beishan–Tianshan orogen in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in NW China. It was previously considered as a part of the Tarim or North China craton. ... -
Application of hardwood biochar as a reactive capping mat to stabilize mercury derived from contaminated floodplain soil and riverbank sediments
(Elsevier, 2019-02-20)Hardwood biochar (pyrolyzed at 700 °C), a potential candidate for Hg removal, has been proposed for use as reactive capping mats along groundwater discharge zones or riverbanks to control release of Hg from contaminated ... -
Identifying behavioural characteristics of tobacco product and e-cigarette use clusters: A repeat cross-sectional analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)Background Youth may use a variety of tobacco products and e-cigarettes. However, there is a lack of evidence for the combinations of tobacco products and e-cigarettes commonly used by youth in Canada and whether youth ... -
Optimization of the hydrodynamic characteristics of a karst conduit with CFPv2 coupled to OSTRICH
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)In order to better define the characteristics of a karst conduit, an integrated hydrogeological study including numerical modeling using CFPv2 is conducted at a karst aquifer in the Zagros Mountain Region of Iran. The ... -
Constructing cascade bloom filters for efficient access enforcement
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)We address access enforcement — the process of determining whether a request for access to a resource by a principal should be granted. While access enforcement is essential to security, it must not unduly impact performance. ... -
