Cryogelation of human hair keratins by Chua, Huei Min

“…However, the actual assembly mechanism of HHK during cryogelation remained speculative and prompted further investigation on the contribution of various intermolecular associations including hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen, and ionic bonding. In this research, inhibition studies using bond disrupting agents and gel solubilisation studies revealed that both disulphide bonds and hydrophobic interactions are cooperatively vital for gel network formation and stabilization. …”

Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…In recent decades, cognitive radio has been introduced as a practical solution to solve the frequency scarcity problem by setting up a secondary network besides the primary one through a cognitive radio network (CRN) to increase the utilization rate of licensed frequency bands. There exist many parameters to achieve a reliable and practical CRN and it is necessary to conduct extensive signal processing studies to optimize them. …”
