Who needs RDD? Combining directory listings with cell phone exchanges for an alternative telephone sampling frame by Guterbock, Thomas

“…Nevertheless, EWP samples have distinct advantages whenever a survey is aimed at a restricted geographic area.This paper considers the feasibility of combining EWP samples with cell-phone RDD, eliminating the ordinary RDD component from the sampling frame. We analyze the components of the telephone population, showing that the proposed method would fail to cover only one segment of the telephone population: unlisted landline households that have no cell phone. …”

Developing sustainable draw solute for forward osmosis process using poly(amidoamine) dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles by Hassanein, Amani

“…Forward osmosis is the least energy intensive water treatment membrane process, however, designing a sustainable draw solute is still a critical research necessity. In this work, we developed Poly(amidoamine) dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles (PAMAM-MNPs) to be used as a draw solute in the forward osmosis process. …”

Synthesis of silica supported ni and cu catalyst for carbon dioxide methanation reaction by Aheed, Ahmed

“…In addition, the used catalysts after the reaction were characterized using similar techniques to evaluate the effect of reaction conditions on active phase and SiO2 support. The 1%Ni on SiO2 catalyst shows good activity for CO2 conversion to CH4 till 450ºC, thereafter CH4 formation decreased and CO increased and remains the only product at 650ºC. …”
