Elastic Properties of a Swollen PAAm-NIPA Copolymer with Various NIPA Contents
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Copolymer based on cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAAm) having N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) was prepared and their elastic properties were studied as a function of NIPA contents. NIPA content dependency of the shear modulus ...
Effect of Calcium Ion Concentration on Small Molecule Desorption from Alginate Beads
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2014)
Spherical alginate beads were prepared by ionotropic gelation of sodium alginate through the use of calcium ions. Pyranine (Py) was added to the alginate solution as a small molecule probe for fluorescence studies. Desorption ...
Panel Data Analysis of Foreign Direct Investment and Poverty from the Perspective of Developing Countries
(Elsevier Science, 2014)
The purpose of this paper is to assess the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and poverty at the macro-pathway in selected developing countries. The contribution to host countries from FDI can take several ...
Tablets as primary educational computing devices. An impact analysis on the educational landscape in an Austrian university.
(Elsevier Science, 2014)
In this study we analyze how tablet devices could be used as educational tools to support innovative educational practice in a university in Austria. Students and educators were issued tablet devices in 2011 across the ...
Post-Donation Evaluation of Life of Donors of Liver Transplantation
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Aim: Liver transplantation from living donors affects not only recipients' but also donors' lives. The aim of this study was to explore living donors' experience of life. Methods: The sample consisted of 16 living donors ...
Modeling and Equalization of Indoor Visible Light Channnels
(IEEE, 2016)
In this paper a computationally efficient method is proposed for modeling the indoor visible light communications (VLC) channels using a non-sequential ray tracing technique. We created three dimensional realistic simulation ...
Level Densities of Heavy Nuclei in the Shell Model Monte Carlo Approach
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
Nuclear level densities are necessary input to the Hauser-Feshbach theory of compound nuclear reactions. However the microscopic calculation of level densities in the presence of correlations is a challenging many-body ...
Smart Systems From Design to Implementation of Embedded Smart Systems
(IEEE, 2016)
This paper aims to explain the design and implementation procedure of embedded Smart Systems. The idea is supported by four different Smart Systems as Smart Home Smart Agriculture Smart Campus and Seat and Study Module of ...
Does Firm Age Affect Profitability? Evidence From Turkey
(Int Inst Social & Economics Sciences-IISES, 2016)
The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of firm age on the profitability of Turkish firms listed on Borsa Istanbul. Using a dataset covering the years between 2005 and 2014 and consisting of 302 non-financial ...
Comparison of Compressed Sensing Based Algorithms for Sparse Signal Reconstruction
(IEEE, 2016)
Compressed sensing theory shows that any signal which is defined as sparse in a given domain can be reconstructed using fewer linear projections instead of using all Nyquist-rate samples. In this paper we investigate basis ...
