Enhanced Screening in Chemically Functionalized Graphene [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2012 Resonant scatterers such as hydrogen adatoms can strongly enhance the low energy density of states in graphene. Here, we study the impact of these impurities on the electronic screening. We find a two-faced behavior: Kubo formula calculations reveal an increased dielectric function $\varepsilon$ upon creation of midgap states but no metallic divergence

Potential of Naftifine Application for Transungual Delivery
Molecules, 2020 Naftifine is used to treat fungal skin infections as it inhibits dermatophytes, which are the cause of onychomycosis. However, naftifine’s ability to permeate the human nail barrier has not been investigated, thus, the antimycotic potential is not ...

Enhancing the chemical transformation of Candida parapsilosis [PDF]
Virulence, 2021 Candida parapsilosis is a leading cause of invasive mycoses and the major cause of nosocomial fungaemia amongst low and very low birth weight neonates. However, the molecular and physiological characteristics of this fungus remain understudied. To advance our knowledge about the pathobiology of this pathogen, we sought to develop and validate an ...

CFD simulations of the mass transfer behavior of tar simulant on silicon oil in an absorber
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022 Oil washing for tar removal had achieved considerable success. However, hardly any research focused on the exploration of mass transfer in the tar absorber, especially due to viscosity.
