Interaction of H2O with the Platinum Pt (001), (011), and (111) surfaces: a density functional theory study with long-range dispersion corrections
(ACS, 2019)Platinum is a noble metal that is widely used for the electrocatalytic production of hydrogen, but the surface reactivity of platinum toward water is not yet fully understood, even though the effect of water adsorption on ... -
Interaction of SO2 with the Platinum (001), (011), and (111) surfaces: a DFT study
(MDPI, 2020)Given the importance of SO2 as a pollutant species in the environment and its role in the hybrid sulphur (HyS) cycle for hydrogen production, we carried out a density functional theory study of its interaction with the Pt ... -
Interaction studies of methyl acetate in aqueous solutions of quinoxaline derivatives: effect of temperature and concentration
(Elsevier, 2015)The aim of the present work is to examine the effect of temperature and concentration on interactions of methyl acetate with aqueous solutions of quinoxaline derivatives using volumetric and acoustic properties. In addition ... -
Interactional therapy: prospects for treating mental health conditions
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)This practice-oriented article proposes Interactional Therapy (IT) for the treatment of mental health conditions. A case example illustrates the IT application and purpose. From this example, IT appears to be of incremental ... -
Interactions between Bt crops and aquatic ecosystems: a review
(Wiley, 2016)The term Bt crops collectively refers to crops that have been genetically modified to include a gene (or genes) sourced from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria. These genes confer the ability to produce proteins toxic ... -
Interactions between C-reactive protein genotypes with markers of nutritional status in relation to inflammation
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI), 2014)Inflammation, as indicated by C-reactive protein concentrations (CRP), is a risk factor for chronic diseases. Both genetic and environmental factors affect susceptibility to inflammation. As dietary interventions can ... -
Interactions between Phaedrotoma scabriventris Nixon (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Diglyphus isaea Walker (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), parasitoids of Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
(Elsevier, 2015)Liriomyza leafminer flies represent a serious threat to horticultural production in East Africa. Total field parasitism rates recorded in Kenya are below 5%, with the indigenous ectoparasitoid Diglyphus isaea Walker being ... -
Interactions between the oomycete Pythium arrhenomanes and the rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola in aerobic Asian rice varieties
