Nanotechnology for Solar-hydrogen Production via Photoelectrochemical Water-splitting: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Nanomaterials and Quantum Dots
(2012-02-14)
Hydrogen production by water-splitting using solar energy and nanostructure
photocatalysts is very promising as a renewable, efficient, environmentally clean
technology. The key is to reduce the cost of hydrogen production ...
Gas Viscosity at High Pressure and High Temperature
(2012-02-14)
Gas viscosity is one of the gas properties that is vital to petroleum engineering. Its role in
the oil and gas production and transportation is indicated by its contribution in the
resistance to the flow of a fluid both ...
Generalized Correlations to Estimate Oil Recovery and Pore Volumes Injected in Waterflooding Projects
(2012-02-14)
When estimating a waterflood performance and ultimate recovery, practitioners usually prepare a plot of log of water-oil ratio vs. cumulative production or recovery factor and extrapolate the linear section of the curve ...
16S rRNA-Based Tag Pyrosequencing of Complex Food and Wastewater Environments: Microbial Diversity and Dynamics
(2012-02-14)
Environmental microbiology has traditionally been performed using culture-based methods. However, in the last few decades, the emergence of molecular methods has changed the field considerably. The latest development in ...
Ferrihydrite as an Enterosorbent for Arsenic
(2012-02-14)
Arsenic in drinking water is a problem in many developing nations such as Taiwan and Bangladesh. Currently, no oral binding agent exists for the mitigation of arsenic toxicity. The goals of this research were to 1) screen ...
Characterization of a Gene Abundantly Expressed in Stallion Testis
(2012-02-14)
NMES1 is a gene of unknown function first characterized in 2002. Reduction of the expression of this gene has been implicated in skin tumorigenesis in mice. Expression of NMES1 is observed in epithelial tissue but expression ...
Impact of Cotton Harvesting and Storage Methods on Seed and Fiber Quality
(2012-02-14)
There are currently two main types of machinery used for harvesting cotton in the United States, cotton pickers and cotton strippers with or without field cleaners. These different machine types package seed cotton with ...
A Cost Effective, Integrated and Smart Radioactive Safeguard System
(2012-02-14)
Nuclear energy is a growing field worldwide due to its wide range of applications
in various walks of life. It, however, deals with radioactive materials, specifically special
nuclear material, which, if misused, could ...
Guiding the Eye: A Non-photorealistic Solution for Controlling Viewer Interest
(2012-02-14)
In film and still photography, depth of field control is often employed to control
viewer interest in an image. This technique is also used in computer animation, but, in a
medium where artists have near infinite control, ...
D-Aminoacylases and Dipeptidases within the Amidohydrolase Superfamily: Relationship Between Enzyme Structure and Substrate Specificity
(2012-02-14)
Approximately one third of the genes for the completely sequenced bacterial genomes have an unknown, uncertain, or incorrect functional annotation. Approximately 11,000 putative proteins identified from the fully-sequenced ...
