The Use of Microwave Tomography in Bone Healing Monitoring
(2019-04)In this thesis, a numerical study is conducted to investigate the use of microwave tomography in monitoring bone health in human lower limbs. By monitoring bone volume fraction (BVF) and bone density, the effectiveness of ... -
Use of Model Predictive Control and Artificial Neural Networks to Optimize the Ultrasonic Release of a Model Drug From Liposomes
(IEEE, 2017)The use of echogenic liposomes to deliver chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment has gained wide recognition in the last 20 years. Cancerous cells can develop multiple drug resistance (MDR), in part, due to the drop ... -
Use of Natural and Modified Jordanian Zeolitic Tuff for Removal of Cadmium(II) from Aqueous Solutions
(2014-10)The possibility of using natural and modified Jordanian zeolite for removal of cadmium as a model component of heavy metals has been considered. Bench-scale tests using both aqueous solutions and real water under different ... -
Use of Offshore Wind Farms to Generate Dubai’s Future Electricity Needs
(2015-02-01)Electricity demand is increasing and will increase more in Dubai due to EXPO 2020. Fossil fuels are used to generate electricity are depleting. Therefore, there has to be a solution to cover this increase and prevent any ... -
The Use of Reverse Osmosis in Water Injection Processes
(2014-07-22)In the petroleum industry, pressurized water injection processes are used to enhance the oil recovery process . By injecting water into the reservoir, any remaining oil is flushed out. Pressurized water injection requires ... -
The Use of Transferrin and Ultrasound in Cancer Treatment
(2019-05)Site-specific drug delivery represents an attractive approach in cancer treatment to reduce the undesirable side-effects of anticancer therapeutics and increase the accumulation of drugs at tumor sites. Surface modification ... -
Use of Ultrasound and Ionic Liquids to Enhance the Extractive Desulfurization of Oils
(2016-12)Desulfurization of diesel oil has been a widely investigated process, due to the detrimental impact on health and the environment caused by sulfur dioxide emissions resulting from the combustion of diesel oil. This has ... -
The Use of Ultrasound and Micelles in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2008)The high toxicity of potent chemotherapeutic drugs like Doxorubicin (Dox) limits the therapeutic window in which they can be applied. This window can be expanded by controlling the drug delivery in both space and time such ... -
The use of ultrasound to release chemotherapeutic drugs from micelles and liposomes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Several drug delivery systems have been investigated to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy by encapsulating the therapeutic agent in a nanosized carrier until it reaches the tumor site. Many of these particles are ... -
A user experience perspective on heritage tourism in the metaverse: Empirical evidence and design dilemmas for VR
(Springer, 2023-07)The tourism industry will be shaped by the growth and development of the metaverse in the coming decades. Virtual reality (VR) will enable the creation of virtual worlds, avatars, digital twins, and new social networks. ... -
User-independent recognition of Arabic sign language for facilitating communication with the deaf community
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper presents a solution for user-independent recognition of isolated Arabic Sign language gestures. The video based gestures are preprocessed to segment out the hands of the signer based on color segmentation of the ... -
Using a Cavitation Model to Represent the Acoustic Release Kinetics from Folated Micelles
(2014-12)Anti-neoplastic drugs used for cancer treatment have various damaging effects on healthy cells, leading to several side effects in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The encapsulation of these agents in nanoparticles, such ... -
Using a Pattern Recognition-Based Technique to Assess the Condition of Silicone Rubber Outdoor Insulators
(2013-05)Several transmission and distribution companies worldwide have started to replace their existing outdoor ceramic insulators with silicone rubber insulators. The use of silicone rubber insulators in outdoor insulators was ... -
Using Artificial Neural Networks and Model Predictive Control to Optimize Acoustically Assisted Doxorubicin Release from Polymeric Micelles
(SAGE Publications, 2009)We have been developing a drug delivery system that uses Pluronic P105 micelles to sequester a chemotherapeutic drug - namely, Doxorubicin (Dox) - until it reaches the cancer site. Ultrasound is then applied to release the ... -
