Linear Domesticity: The Hong Kong Single Occupancy Strip
(University of Cambridge, Department of Architecture, 2015)The Hong Kong Single Occupancy Strip (HK:SOS) project is a response to a growing housing crisis in Hong Kong, in which the domestic environments of the future are becoming more unaffordable and less habitable. In reaction ... -
Lipophilic Metabolites and Anatomical Acclimatization of Cleome amblyocarpa in the Drought and Extra-Water Areas of the Arid Desert of UAE
(MDPI, 2019)Plants adapt to different environmental conditions by developing structural and metabolic mechanisms. In this study, anatomical features and lipophilic metabolites were investigated in Cleome amblyocarpa Barr. & Murb., ... -
Liposomal drug release using ultrasound and modeling release dynamics for model predictive controller design
(2015-06)Chemotherapy is widely used for cancer treatment; however, it causes unwanted side effects in patients such as fatigue, weight loss, pain, hair fall and nausea. Those side effects are due to the fact that most of the ... -
Liposomal Encapsulation of Chemotherapeutics Agents Combined with the Use of Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2023-07)Ultrasound (US) has numerous uses in the medical field, including imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; another interesting application of US in cancer therapy is as an external trigger in targeted drug delivery. ... -
Liposomes as a Promising Ultrasound-Triggered Drug Delivery System in Cancer Treatment
(Bentham Science, 2017)The initial uses of ultrasound waves in the medical field were limited to the thermal ablation of solid tumors and as a diagnostic tool. Recent advances at the preclinical stage have allowed the use of ultrasound as a ... -
Liposomes for the Treatment of Brain Cancer — A Review
(MDPI, 2023-06-25)Due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and surface-conjugation capabilities, liposomes are effective nanocarriers that can encapsulate chemotherapeutic drugs and facilitate targeted delivery across the blood–brain ... -
Liposomes in Active, Passive and Acoustically-Triggered Drug Delivery
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)Cancer has become one of the most deadly noncommunicable diseases globally. Several modalities used to treat cancer patients exist today yet many have failed to prove high efficacy with low side effects. The most common ... -
Lipsome-coated metal organic frameworks as a new drug nanocarrier
(2019-12)Cancer has emerged to become one of the predominant diseases ever known to humanity, with chemotherapeutic agents as leading methods for treating it. However, this blind-sighted treatment method that targets all cells; ... -
Liquid Fuel Production from Pyrolysis of Waste Tires: Process Simulation, Exergetic Analysis, and Life Cycle Assessment
(2015-06)Scrap tire is considered to be one of the very common and significant solid wastes and its production is increasing due to the increased number of vehicles in both developed and developing countries. Initiatives are being ... -
Live Simultaneous Interpreting of Political Speeches into Arabic
(2006-12)To exploit available theoretical material in interpreting, in a manner that forces us to rely less on intuition and more on methodical experience and systematic practice, is a rich field to be explored. This dissertation ... -
The lived experiences of foreign women: Influences on their international working lives
(Wiley, 2017)We explored the lived experiences of foreign-born women to discover influences on their international working lives. Life history narratives were collected in interviews with a sample group of participants (#12) in the ... -
Load Partitioning for Matrix-Matrix Multiplication on a Cluster of CPUGPU Nodes Using the Divisible Load Paradigm
(2016-11)Matrix-matrix multiplication is a component of many numerical algorithms; however, it is a time consuming operation. Sometimes, when the matrix size is huge, the processing of the matrix-matrix multiplication on a single ... -
Local site effects on seismic ground response of major cities in UAE
(2015)This paper investigates the influence of local geotechnical and geological soil conditions on the intensity of ground shaking of major cities in United Arab Emirates (UAE) including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah, and their ... -
A localized navigation algorithm for Radiation Evasion for nuclear facilities. Part II: Optimizing the "Nearest Exit" Criterion
(2013-06)In this extension from part I ( Khasawneh et al., in press), we modify the navigation algorithm which was presented with the objective of optimizing the “Radiation Evasion” Criterion so that navigation would optimize the ... -
A localized navigation algorithm for radiation evasion for nuclear facilities: Optimizing the "Radiation Evasion" criterion: Part I
(2013-06)In this paper, we introduce a navigation algorithm having general utility for occupational workers at nuclear facilities and places where radiation poses serious health hazards. This novel algorithm leverages the use of ... -
Localizing-ground Transmitters Using Airborne Antenna Array
(2020-12)A radio direction finder (RDF) estimates the direction of arrival (DOA) of a radio signal. It receives multiple copies of the signal by a multiple-element antenna array, making use of the characteristics of the received ... -
The Logic of Fateful Choices Faced by the Leaders of Commissions of Inquiry
(American University of Sharjah, 2013-12-03)Commission scholars have been skeptical about the reasons governments give for their appointment but have generally accepted that their relationship with government is kept armslength during their inquiry. An analytical ... -
