(2022-12)Accurate observability for all nodes of the grid is significantly essential, especially with the smart grids, which focus on integrating new technologies and increasing the use of information technology. Transmission and ... -
In Vitro Cell Work of Two Types of Targeted Nanoparticles with Ultrasound Triggering
(2020-11)Targeted liposomes have shown promising potential as effective chemotherapeutics delivery vehicles in Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDSs). Upon accumulation and internalization at the tumor site, the liposomes need to be ... -
In vitro effects of multi-purpose contact lens disinfecting solutions towards survivability of Acanthamoeba genotype T4 in Malaysia
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)The incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitis has been increasing since the previous decades, especially among contact lens users. This infection is majorly caused by the use of ineffective contact lens disinfecting solution. ... -
In Vitro Evaluation of Ultrasound Effectiveness in Controlling Doxorubicin Release from Albumin-Conjugated Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)Functionalized liposomes are among the most promising antineoplastic agents delivery vehicles. Contemporaneous to their accretion at the tumor site, they need to be potentiated to release their cargo using a suitable ... -
In-Between Projection Interpolation in Cone-Beam CT Imaging using Convolutional Neural Networks
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2022)Respiratory-Correlated cone beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) is an emerging image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) technique that is used to account for the uncertainties caused by respiratory-induced motion in the ... -
In-Vehicle Performance Validation of the Semi-Active Hybrid Energy Storage System
(2015)A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) consisting of high-energy-density batteries and high-power-density Ultra-capacitors (UCs) can perform better than a battery alone powering an Electric Vehicle. Hybrid energy storage ... -
