Reinforcement of polyacrylamide-co-tert-butyl acrylate base gel using nanosilica for conformance control at low and high reservoir temperatures by Shamlooh M.

“…In this study, different ratios of polymer to crosslinker were investigated to choose the optimum combination. Then, nanosilica (NS) with different sizes (20, 50 and 85 nm) was added to the polymeric formulation with the inorganic crosslinker (CrAc3) to study the effect of silica content and size on gel strength. …”

Estimating and decomposing changes in the White–Black homeownership gap from 2005 to 2011 by Seah, Kiat Ying

“…Our analysis shows that the housing bust did not affect the homeownership gap uniformly. In fact, we find that the gap decreased for households that were the least likely to own and remained unchanged for households that were the most likely to own, and that Black households with around a 50% probability of homeownership were especially vulnerable to the crisis. …”

Biocompatibility and toxicity of novel iron chelator Starch-Deferoxamine (S-DFO) compared to zinc oxide nanoparticles to zebrafish embryo: An oxidative stress based apoptosis, phys... by Nasrallah, Gheyath

“…S-DFO showed no significant mortality nor deformities at all tested concentrations (0.0-1000 μM). Thus, the LC50 is expected to >1000 μM. 100 μM S-DFO treatment did not affect embryo development (as judged by hatching rate); neuromuscular activity (as judged by tail flicking); and hemoglobin synthesis. …”

A computational model to predict the structural and functional consequences of missense mutations in O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase by Thirumal Kumar, D

“…Considering true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives, three mutations (Y114E, R128G, and C145A) showed "loss of DNA repair activity," and were analyzed further using molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) using GROMACS for 50ns. MDS run showed that the C145A mutant demonstrated higher structural deviation, decreased compactness, and the binding patterns. …”
