Contact angles were measured for CO<sub>2</sub>-brine interactions on 20 different rocks that represent the properties of various CO<sub>2</sub> storage depositional environments to characterize wettability during geologic carbon storage. Three phases (gaseous, liquid, and supercritical) considered investigate effect pressure temperature. Bubbles studied in two groups la...

Aim Increased serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels are associated with specific molecular sub-classes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), supporting AFP as a predictive or therapeutic biomarker for precision treatment of this disease. Considering recent efforts to validate HCC molecular classification systems across different populations, we applied existing signature-based classification templa...

Chromium enters surface and ground waters through the wastewater of electroplating, textile, metallurgical, dye production, and other industries, leading to numerous adverse health effects. The potential property of nanoparticle adsorption of nickel oxide (NiO) and the economic nature of ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2) process have eased the usage of these two proc...

ZnO and ZrO2 photo catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. The products were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of ZnO and ZrO2 was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. Also, photo catalytic degrada...

The financial system of the United States contains two large subsystems. The function of the first, generally referred to as monetary policy, is to control the total volume of credit for the purpose of aggregate economic stabilization. The second sub-system, which has no name, consists of a maze of regulations, institutions and tax practices designed to influence the allocation of credit, and h...

We have investigated two process techniques: resist ashing and oxide hard mask trimming. A combination of ashing and trimming produces sub-30-nm MOSFET gate. These techniques require neither specific equipment nor materials. These can be used to fabricate experimental devices with line width beyond the limit of optical lithography or high-throughput -beam lithography. They provide 25-nm gate pa...

Anisotropic (2)H ultrafast (ADUF) 2D NMR spectroscopy for studying analytes dissolved in chiral liquid crystals (CLC) is investigated for the first time and the analytical possibilities of this method are evaluated. We demonstrate that these unconventional sub-second 2D experiments are compatible with the basic gradient units (40-60 G cm(-1)) that are implemented in routine spectrometers and al...
