Triaxial compression tests on a crushable sand in dry and wet conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A calcareous sand from the Persian Gulf is subjected to a series of dry and fully drained saturated triaxial shear tests. The samples are prepared at relative densities of 65% and either left dry or saturated. They are consolidated to confining pressures

Forecasting Natural Gas Prices in Real Time

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the forecastability of the real price of natural gas in the United States at the monthly frequency considering a universe of models that differ in complexity and economic content. We find that considerable reductions in mean‐squared prediction error relative to a no‐change benchmark can be ...

Nanostructured lipid carriers and natural deep eutectic solvents: a highly advantageous combination for the encapsulation of curcumin

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Curcumin is a naturally derived polyphenol known for its potent biological properties. Its therapeutic potential, however, is hindered by low bioavailability. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have emerged as advanced delivery systems to overcome such limitations. Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) have garnered attention as

Electron Microscopy Transfer System to Protect Atmosphere‐Sensitive Materials for Scanning Electron Microscopy Characterization

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
SEM–EDX and XRD characterization confirm that pouches made from readily available aluminum foil, used in combination with a commercial cryo‐EM transfer system, effectively protect highly atmosphere‐sensitive and/or hygroscopic materials from contamination during transfer from inert environments to the SEM vacuum chamber.
