Two decades of research into SIEs and what do we know? A systematic review of the most influential literature and a proposed research agenda
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021)Purpose. This paper aims: to undertake a systematic literature review on SIEs, examining twenty years of literature published between 2000 and 2020, focusing on the most-cited empirical work in the field; to analyse the ... -
Two-Stage Deep Learning Solution for Continuous Arabic Sign Language Recognition Using Word Count Prediction and Motion Images
(IEEE, 2023)Recognition of continuous sign language is challenging as the number of words is a sentence and their boundaries are unknown during the recognition stage. This work proposes a two-stage solution in which the number of words ... -
UAE English Skills: A Textbook Evaluation
(2008-01)National English textbooks are considered to be the main element of the English language curriculum at government schools in the UAE. Tens of thousands of students studying at these schools depend on national textbooks for ... -
UAE High School Students' Attitude Towards Traditional and Computer-Mediated Peer Response
(2010-08)Using blogs has recently become popular in learning ESL. However, not much research has been done in use of blogs in ESL writing classes. In this research, I conducted a study in my English writing classes to explore how ... -
UAE High School Students' Attitudes Towards Using Authentic Materials
(2006-08)This study is an attempt to investigate the impact of using authentic materials on some of my high school students, especially those who have poor attitudes towards learning the English language. In fact, lack of motivation, ... -
UAE High School Students' Perceptions of Teachers' Feedback on their Writing
(2007-01)For most teachers, marking students' papers and responding to their writing is a daunting and tedious task. It is also a practice that could carry potential dangers and requires careful consideration. However, feedback ... -
Ultrasonic Drug Delivery Using Micelles and Liposomes
(Springer, 2016)The encapsulation of drugs in nanocarriers revolutionized research in drug delivery, especially in cancer chemotherapeutics. Several nanosystems have been developed including liposomes, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, solid ... -
Ultrasonic release of doxorubicin from Pluronic P105 micelles stabilized with an interpenetrating network of N,N diethylacrylamide
(Elsevier, 2002)Pluronic P105 micelles sequester hydrophobic drugs and release them upon insonation with low frequency ultrasound; however these micelles dissolve relatively quickly upon dilution. The objective of this research was to ... -
Ultrasonic-Activated Micellar Drug Delivery for Cancer Treatment
(Wiley InterSciences, 2008)The use of nanoparticles and ultrasound in medicine continues to evolve. Great strides have been made in the areas of producing micelles, nanoemulsions, and solid nanoparticles that can be used in drug delivery. An effective ... -
Ultrasonically Controlled Albumin-conjugated Liposomes for Breast Cancer Therapy
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2019)Targeted liposomes have high potentials in the specific and effective delivery of their loaded therapeutic agents to the tumor site. Once at the tumor site, it is important that these liposomes are triggered to release ... -
Ultrasonically triggered drug delivery: Breaking the barrier
(Elsevier, 2014)The adverse side-effects of chemotherapy can be minimized by delivering the therapeutics in time and space to only the desired target site. Ultrasound offers one fairly non-invasive method of accomplishing such precise ... -
Ultrasound in drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)In this issue, we present the current applications and future prospects of ultrasound in various aspects of drug and gene delivery. There are many advantages to ultrasound that make it ideal for the delivery of therapeutics ... -
Ultrasound triggered drug delivery of transferrin coupled liposomes carrying the drug doxorubicin
(2020-06)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases of the 21st century. It is caused by the uncontrolled division of damaged and mutated cells. Several methods have been developed to combat cancer, including surgery, radiation, and ... -
Ultrasound Triggered Release of Estrone- Targeted Liposomes
(2017-05)The fight against cancer has proven to be a lengthy one. Conventional treatment of cancer usually involves chemotherapy, a therapy known for its detrimental side effects. Doxorubicin, a cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic, ... -
Ultrasound triggered release of Trastuzumab-conjugated immunoliposomes targeting breast cancer
(2018-12)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in this era. Since conventional treatment has many side effects, its use is limited, which augments the need for new smart drug delivery systems, such as nanocarriers, capable of ... -
Ultrasound Triggering of Liposomal Nanodrugs for Cancer Therapy: A Review
(MDPI, 2022)Efficient conventional chemotherapy is limited by its nonspecific nature, which causes severe systemic toxicity that can lead to patient discomfort and low therapeutic efficacy. The emergence of smart drug delivery systems ... -
Ultrasound-Induced Calcein Release From eLiposomes
(Elsevier, 2012)Ultrasound is explored as a method of inducing the release of encapsulated materials from eLiposomes, defined as liposomes containing emulsion droplets. Emulsions were formed using perfluorohexane and perfluoropentane. ...
