Perception, petroleum, and power: Mythmaking in oil-scarce Turkey and Jordan
(Elsevier, 2020)
Oil has been a cardinal driver of economic growth and national development in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. States that produce oil in globally exportable quantities tend to be more powerful than those that do ...
Managing natural gas demand for free consumers under uncertainty and limited storage capacity
(Elsevier, 2020)
Demand for energy sources depends on several factors such as population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and climate. Among fundamental energy sources, natural gas is characterized by storage limitations and ...
An intelligent approach for the evaluation of innovation projects
(IOS Press, 2020)
In this study, an intelligent approach is presented for the evaluation and selection of innovation projects. Selecting the best innovation project is a complicated multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with ...
Identification of potential inhibitors of human methionine aminopeptidase (type II) for cancer therapy: Structure-based virtual screening, ADMET prediction and molecular dynamics studies
(Elsevier, 2020)
Methionine Aminopeptidases MetAPs are divalent-cofactor dependent enzymes that are responsible for the cleavage of the initiator Methionine from the nascent polypeptides. MetAPs are classified into two isoforms: namely, ...
Fluorescence and photon transmission techniques for studying film formation from PS/GO nanocomposites
(SPRINGER, 2020)
Steady-state fluorescence and UV-Vis techniques were used to study the film formation behavior of composites consisting of pyrene (P)-labeled polystyrene (PS) latex and graphene oxide (GO) in terms of PS latex/GO volume ...
Determining matchdays in sports league schedules to minimize rest differences
(ELSEVIER, 2020)
Many sports leagues first announce the games to be played in each round and then determine their matchdays as the season progresses. This study focuses on the fairness criterion of minimizing the total rest difference among ...
An approach to evaluate CAM software alternatives
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020)
The selection process for the best computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software among a set of potential number of alternatives in market has been critical issue for most companies that aim to make their design/manufactur ...
Fractal dimension and phase transition of graphene oxide (GO) doped polyacrylamide
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020)
Graphene Oxide (GO)- Polyacrylamide composites prepared between 5 and 50 mu l GO were performed by Fluorescence Spectroscopy. The phase transition performed on the composites was measured by calculating the critical ...
Synthesis Molecular Modelling and Antibacterial Activity Against Helicobacter pylori of Novel Diflunisal Derivatives as Urease Enzyme Inhibitors
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2019)
Background: The main factor for the prolongation of the ulcer treatment in the gastrointestinal system would be Helicobacter pylori infection which can possibly lead to gastrointestinal cancer. Triple therapy is the treatment ...
A Farewell to King Coal: Geopolitics, Energy Security, and the Transition to Oil, 1898–1917
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019)
Interest in energy transitions has accelerated in recent years due to rising concerns about global warming and resource scarcity but the drivers of these phenomena are not well understood. To date scholars have primarily ...
