Synthesis, characterisation and evaluation of IrO2 based binary metal oxide electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction
(Electochemical Society Inc., 2012)
IrO2, IrxRu1-xO2, IrxSnx-1O2 and IrxTax-1O2 (1 ≥ x ≥ 0.7) were synthesized, characterised and evaluated as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in solid polymer electrolyte electrolysers. The electrocatalysts ...
Vulnerable diseases affecting child mortality in Sierra Leone: emerging health issue
(SAGE Publications, 2012)
Child mortality in Sierra Leone is the highest ranked in the world. The main causes for child mortality are
maternal factors, environmental factors and health factors. Minimal research has been carried out on health
factors ...
In-situ ultrasonic monitoring of zeolite A crystallization from coal fly ash
(Elsevier, 2012)
In this study, high phase purity of zeolite A was prepared from coal fly ash precursors. The molar regime
of both the clear solution extract and unseparated fly ash slurry was adjusted to achieve the right composition
for ...
Detection of an increasing orbital period in the subdwarf B eclipsing system NSVS 14256825
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
New timings of eclipses made in 2010 and 2011 are presented for the hot subdwarf B (sdB)
eclipsing binary NSVS 14256825. Composed of an sdB star and a much cooler companion,
with a period near 0.1104 days, this system ...
Child mortality rate in Ethiopia
(Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2012)
Ethiopia’s childhood mortality has continued to decline although at a swift pace. The drop in urban childhood mortality
decline, duration of breastfeeding is the principle reason for the overall decline in mortality trends ...
Statistical testing of input factors in the carbonation of brine impacted fly ash
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)
A D-optimal design was applied in the study of input factors: temperature, pressure, solid/liquid (S/L) ratio and particle size and
their influence on the carbonation of brine impacted fly ash (FA) determined. Both ...
DAMPD: a manually curated antimicrobial peptide database
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
The demand for antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is rising because of the increased occurrence of pathogens that are tolerant or resistant to conventional antibiotics. Since naturally occurring AMPs could serve as templates ...
Cardiovascular effects of the alkaloid hippadine on the isolated perfused rat heart
(Open Access Science Research Publisher, 2012)
Crinum macowanii has been used extensively in traditional medicines for treatment of various illnesses such as oedema and ‘heart disease’. Previous studies of the crude bulb extracts on Langendorff perfused isolated rat ...
The role of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-Coronavirus Accessory Proteins in Virus Pathogenesis
(MDPI, 2012)
A respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, termed the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), was first reported in China in late 2002. The subsequent efficient human-to-human transmission of ...
The variable N-terminal region of DDX5 contains structural elements and auto-inhibits its interaction with NS5B of hepatitis C virus
(Portland Press, 2012)
RNA helicases of the DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp)-box family of
proteins are involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism from
transcription to RNA decay, but most of them have also been
shown to be multifunctional. The DEAD-box ...
