Boundedness of Hadamard–Bergman and Variable Hadamard–Bergman Convolution Operators
This article continues the study of the Hadamard–Bergman operators in the unit disk of the complex plane. These operators arose as a natural generalization of orthogonal projections and represent an integra...

Precipitation of secondary phases of iron and its role in controlling the mobility of potentially toxic elements in soils in a semiarid river basin in Northwest Mexico
Soils have the ability to retain potentially toxic elements (PTEs) through different chemical processes that promote low mobility of these elements, such as the precipitation of secondary phases of Fe, which f...

Open AccessCompact anisotropic models in general relativity by gravitational decoupling
Durgapal’s fifth isotropic solution describing spherically symmetric and static matter distribution is extended to an anisotropic scenario. To do so we employ the gravitational decoupling through the minimal g...

Effect of carbonaceous support between graphite oxide and reduced graphene oxide with anchored Co3O4 microspheres as electrode-active materials in a solid-state electrochemical capacitor
Hydrothermally synthesized Co3O4 microspheres were anchored to graphite oxide (GO) and thermally reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites at different cobalt weight percentages (1, 10, and 100 wt%). The composite ...
