A novel finite element discretization of domains with spheroidal geometry 

Tuncer, Necibe (2007-05-15)
We describe and analyze a new finite element discretizations for domains with spheroidal geometry. In particular, we describe how the method can be used to approximate solutions as well as eigenvalues and eigenfunctions ...

A Novel Halogenation Protocol and Non-heme Iron Hydroxylase Mimics as Catalysts for C-H Oxidation and O2 Activation 

He, Yu (2012-08-03)
Hydrocarbons react with molar concentrations of peracetic acid and halide salts to yield predominantly monohalogenated products under optimum conditions, with chlorination being more oxidatively efficient than bromination. ...

Novel Hydrogels from Renewable Resources 

Karaaslan, Muzaffer Ahmet (2011-05-06)
The cell wall of most plant biomass from forest and agricultural resources consists of three major polymers, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Of these, hemicelluloses have gained increasing attention as sustainable raw ...

Novel Infectious Bronchitis Virus Vaccines and Immune Responses 

Zegpi, Ramon (2019-11-25)

Novel Interface Trap Passivation and Channel Counter-doping for 4H-SiC MOSFETs 

Modic, Aaron (2015-05-07)
4H-Silicon carbide (4H-SiC) is the most promising wide band gap semiconductor for next generation high power and high temperature metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). However, the channel mobility ...

Novel Kidney Injury Biomarkers in Young Adults 

Barnett, Alex (2021-08-09)
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which gradual kidney damage impairs its ability to filter blood. CKD has varying levels of severity and tends to become more common, and worsen, with advanced age. If left ...
