Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap by Hassan, Walid M.I.

“…We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ideal infinitely long SNW. …”

Combined influence of temperature and flow rate of feeds on the performance of forward osmosis by Hawari, Alaa H.

“…It was also found that when increasing the draw solution (DS) temperature from 20 °C to 26 °C the flux increased linearly and then started decreasing when temperature increased over 26 °C due to the development of a temperature gradient. …”

Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass index to change in obesity and underweight by Iurilli, M.L.C.

“…Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. …”

Bromate reduction by ultraviolet light irradiation using medium pressure lamp by Bensalah, Nasr

“…Increasing the UV light intensity resulted in the increase of the rate of bromate destruction. The kobs increased linearly with increasing light intensity. A UV dose of 1000 mJ/cm2 was sufficient to reduce the bromate concentration to less than 10 μg/L within 10 min. …”

Future Mangrove Carbon Storage Under Climate Change and Deforestation by Chatting, Mark

“…Model results were contrasted with CO2 equivalents (CO2e) emissions from past, present and future rates of deforestation on a country specific scale. For C stocks, we found climate change will increase global stocks by ∼7% under both climate scenarios and that this gain will exceed losses from deforestation by the end of the twenty-first century, largely due to shifts in rainfall. …”
